[BluesLegend]

Riiiiight the lefts anti-oil policies and regulations have nothing to do with the price of gas riiiiiight /sarcasm

So you have no answer.

That's OK. I didn't expect one.

If obama said he would drop all current restrictions on exploration, production and transportation of oil, the price would drop over night....the economy would skyrocket.

America's energy policies assuredly affect the price of oil on the market.

Not necessarily. US domestic production starts to become unprofitable when oil goes below $80/barrel.

US domestic production is expensive. US producers are not going to operate at a loss. They will suspend production.

..and why is producing oil so expensive in the u.s.?

So which is it that you prefer?

High gas prices because we have to import oil because of restrictive political regulations preventing production here?

....or high gas prices because the market is manipulated by enemies of the u.s. to cripple this nation?

Where do you get this cockamamie idea that oil produced here, stays here?
How are you going to bring that fantasy about? Nationalize the oil companies?

That's like demanding proof the sky is blue. Feel free to explain to us how Obama's anti-oil anti-coal policies and regulations have not negatively effected these industries, that should be good for a laugh.

Bullshit.

Oil companies already sit on 68 million acres of unexpolited-but-leased land. Even if they had the equipment available to do it (which they don't) and even if they were interested in flooding the market with new product (which they aren't), and even if there were refineries to process it (which there aren't), it still goes to that same international market.

The day it gets there, OPEC says, "ah, the Dutch (Shell) /British (BP) /American oil companies are bringing in ten skillion new barrels. Cut our production by ten skillion barrels. What's for lunch?"

End result: net zero.

"We" don't make oil. Oil companies make oil. They're not at all interested in what you're paying at the pump. They're interested in what their profit margin is. Period.

Exactly. Because paying for their bloated, gotta keep the Islamists happy, budgets is easy when they don't pump as much oil as they can. LOL!

Thanks Mr. President

Peruse the forums on that site and you'll understand why politicians and POTUSes have no control over gas prices.
They're driven by international commerce. It's been going down for us; it's been going down for everybody. Places where there are no elections happening at all, getting the same price drops we are.

Plus, if some pol or party were able to drop gas prices for election time, you can be damn sure they'd be crowing about it. Otherwise it would have no point. Actually plummeting gas prices are indicative of a weak economy. See the second half of 2008 for an easy example.

Correlation is not causation. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

I understand the Democrats/Republicans/Insert party here have arranged for the sun to set in the west today...

Yup. The POTUS has nothing to do with gas prices up or down.

I was reading that the price of crude has gone down hence the price we have today.

Of course the speculators have loads to do with the price of gas. If not for those assholes we'd be paying a buck fifty for gas.

If not for those assholes we'd be paying a buck fifty for gas.

Right, because when speculators buy, the price goes up.
And when speculators sell, the price goes up. LOL!

Thanks Mr. President

OBunga has done a good job. Fucking up the country i love... thanks so much OBunga!

Thanks Mr. President

OBunga has done a good job.

Except for your spelling....you are right.

 

[Desperado]

You noticed that too..... every time there is a national election gas prices always seem to come down until shortly after the election.
Absolutely amazing.

Its my job to point out liberal deflection, ^^^. I suppose the 18,000 pages of Obamacare regulations haven't had a negative effect on the economy either? Apparently cause and effect does not exist in the liberal world.

Whatever that means...

Oil commerce has nothing to do with "Islamism", let alone any religion. It's a cartel. Its purpose is to steer/stranglehold the market by mutually managing its member countries' resources. Some of its members are Venezuela, Ecuador and Angola, places not known for a whole lot of turning toward Mecca.

Guess that makes it "keeping the Islamists and Christianists happy".

It's astounding how many partisan hacks are willing to profess abject ignorance of how the free market works.
