Everyone calm down. Obama will save us. Hope and Change go a long way with oil speculators and arabs.  |

you know even if US companies got complete control of a lot of those oil fields in the middle east or drilled up a bunch offshore and in ANWR, all the oil still goes into the global market for trade, so it's not like it would be directly beneficial to us as consumers, it would A LOT more beneficial to anyone who holds stock in oil companies though
the US would have to get to a point where ALL it's oil came from it's own resources so we could break away from the foreign market.
That would take more than just a few wars I imagine.

That's why many countries with large reserves have been nationalizing their resources.

hmmm interesting, you mean not putting their oil into the market? ohh nevermind, you mean like Venezuela? Unfortunately, even in the US did have the reserves I think it's a lost cause.

This is what happens when I don't fish for a month..... 
I normally try to stay out of this stuff... and I am not an Obama supporter.
But what option do we have at this point? Who can support another 4 years of policy that even closely resembles what we have been going through for the past 8???? |

You think the economy is bad now - wait until people have to deal with heating bills this winter.
