I'd be curious to see how exactly George Soros benefits from this one, though.

to little too late, its all a re-election ploy...why not allow more permits for drilling, this temporary band-aid isn't going to do much, and the price will go right back up again.

i had high hopes for this president, but he is clearly out of his league. the president and his supposed advisers are completely clueless how to run a nation.

When you see oil drop in price and commodities still rising and the stock market take a drop.... Things are a mess in the inflation world.


There is a back door deal happening someplace with our printing press.

Isnt that the truth.. the stock market should be skyrocketing today due to lower operating costs for all businesses. Even airline stocks are down which makes absolutely no sense, since their biggest expenses is fuel.

Election season makes politicians to odd things. Most of it self-serving.

Don't get too happy.....Barack Obama doesn't care about you. He cares about himself.

There goes the idea that "drill baby drill" would not affect the price of oil. It also reenforces the idea that oil and gas prices are high because the 0bama admin is so hostile to US oil production.

Obama is doing what he can to counteract some of the effects of the GOP attack on middle income Americans. Trying to lessen their daily costs until we can get the GOP out of the way, so as to get the economy producing more jobs.
