The War on Cheap Gas
You couldn't make this stuff up. I monitor the fair and balanced reporting and commentary on FOX now and then and last night I popped in during "The Five," a sort of round table discussion with five people, oddly enough.
At one point, the artist know as Eric Bolling spoke of the war on cheap gas, something to do with the dang demos, particularly Obummer, trying to keep affordable gas out of the hands of Americans. I wish I'd been taping it cause I'd like to hear that again. I just checked their site, they post transcripts but there's a week lag time. Wouldn't want people just reading the transcript instead of watching the show. I'm guessing they're trying out R talking points - I know in '04 I regularly heard Bush drop lines that had been field tested by Hannity in the previous weeks. I can hear it now: "OK, we nailed them on the dog on car thing by pointing out Obama's admission that he ate dog in Indonesia. That's right, high five, nailed it baby! Now we need to come up with something to turn this "war on women" nonsense on its head. I know! How about 'war on cheap gas?' It just might work." S'up dawg?

Nothing better to do with your time? I don't even watch that crap, and I'm a conservative. Maybe you should pick up an 'outside' hobby. Or a job that requires involvement.

Ev'body agrees fuels prices should rise in order to promote conservation. What's the big deal?

And uhh, a job that requires involvement? Hmm, yeah, you might be onto something. Maybe my 20 years of living on the public dole wasn't such a good idea after all.

It struck as just a tad naive for these people to apparently believe that cheap gas is our birthright forever and ever. And that we'd have it to spare if not for Obama and the rest of the demo crew. The fact that India and China are increasing their fuel usage continually and that much of the easy petro has been found and been pumped for some time doesn't enter into their equation.

Oh well, as long as we agree that gas prices should rise and that Obama has an excuse for it happening on his watch, it's all good.

I cant help but to accept the rise of fuel will be here soon enough but to cheer it on seems a little idiotic ,unless you have stock and alot of it in the energy field .Its then cheered as all stock crazed drones mimic ,Rise baby rise ,lets roll up those big green backs like water over a cliff ,yaaahhhhHooooo.

They showed some people fueling up in the 70s and I'd forgotten about some of the homely behemoths we used to build in this country. I shouldn't have as I learned to drive on a '65 Continental weighing almost 3 tons. They didn't build such cars in Europe. Does Obama have any control over oil speculators? The Saudis claimed in '08 that they were only responsible for about $70 of the $130 to $145 price per barrel. And the spot price dropped to nearly $30 by years end. How'd that happen? Is that free market activity that anybody, aside from a select few, wants or benefits from? Perhaps it is time to limit trading in oil to those who will actually take possession of it and use it.

Can't argue with that. And I couldn't tell you if any attempts to rein in speculators would have any effect or is even possible.
