I think it is because we don't really rely on our own sources any more. In 1973 the whole thing was concocted as we had way more gasoline than we needed the whole time and natural gas was in plentiful supply although THEY said it wasn't.

Not if the polling stations (all those outside the ghettos, of course) are located at a far enough distance away to make many folk disinclined to make the effort to vote!

It's my guess that almost $7 gas will be with us in time for the mid-terms...and the "shortage" blamed on BP of course.

Talk about never letting a good crisis go to waste!

As I understand it (and I understand it pretty well) the Gulf Well was in the process of being capped when it blew. Any oil from that well was slated for a future time when having a live well in North America's offshore oil field might be a good thing. It was not and is not needed to stabilize present oil prices. Any price increases as a result of the Gulf Well blowout would be typical industry manipulation. The Conservatives wrote the book on exploiting crises which is why they can so expertly call others on it. The difference: gasoline is nowhere near $7/gal. and Obama is not blaming anything on the Gulf Well Disaster. Will he? I doubt it. BP is hardly a major player in the worlds oil supply. Pure hyperbolic speculation. Distraction. Nothing up my sleeve! Look over here at that Democratic gaffe!!! Poof! Is that a Republican (undercover Tea Bagger) candidate free of any human blemish and with 8 terms of prior presidential experience in a parallel dimension, come to rescue America?! Yay! We're saved! Not.
