how is it that we gwt most of our oil from CANADA & the OPEC /BUSHIES are driving the price?? Why haven’t I seen a SINGLE comment about that?? It’s on the US GOVERnmENT WEbSITE http://www.eia.doe.gov/ and I quote “Canada remained the largest exporter of total petroleum in November, exporting 2.360 million barrels per day to the United States, which is a decrease from last month (2.431 thousand barrels per day). The second largest exporter of total petroleum was Saudi Arabia with 1.686 million barrels per day. ” Is ANYONE paying attention?????????

OIL PRICES NEAR 68 EUROS!!

OIL PRICES NEAR 52 GBP!!

Oh, wait, that’s not that bad. I guess it’s just the dollar.

I guess it’s just the fact that this country went completely, totally, and LITERALLY broke/bankrupt in 2005 and we are still headed down the debt spiral.

Hyperinflation here we come!!

Oops, accidently posted before I was finished.

You guys really are in a load of crud here. Arn Gunnutes is a crazy, yes, but you guys have managed to beat your boogie-man Carter, and ALL of us are suffering for your mischief.

Carter was right. I watch as my houses thermostat is at 60deg. Car? What car. Got rid of that annoying money-sucker almost 2 years ago. Time to get with the program, trolls. With gas prices rising, and your boys having the gas prices and oil prices _firmly_ on their shoulder, well…I’ll see you in November.

I have been waiting for this day. Oil is at an inflation adjusted high. Gas has already passed that stop.

And all we gots from the trolls are a half-assed attempt to shift the topic to Arn Gunnutes…

“what right does George Bush have to express the wishes of every American whether they agree or disagree”

When he’s Mister 19% ? None at all.

There’s a right to defend, in kind. Israel’s Likud doesn’t do that. Israel has the same problem we in the US have, an entrenched reactionary administration bolstered by an organized politically invested minority religious base.

“looks that way already $1 = 1.53 euros”

I think you got confused there Anjuna!

Its $1.53 dollars = 1 Euro!

To put it another way the US is now Europe’s be-atch.

Bush would have benefitted from a good ass kicking somewhere along the line, but he is surrounded by sycophants and probably always has been. Look at the trolls here, they jump to his defense like the pimple faced punks in high school when the rich kid is threatened. They want to show the man that they are on his side so he will like them.

Bush has never had to stand up for himself and never will. Better come arrest me too, I think he would look a lot better with a busted nose.

However, on the bright side, more American’s are trading in their SUV’s for smaller cars with better mileage, and the national gasoline usage dropped 1.1% from the same time last year.

Americans Start to Curb Their Thirst for Gasoline

But the truth is before all of us:

Oil jumps to new record on dollar’s fall

McCain poo poo’d all of the worrisome stuff about the economy. He says it’s all psychological. The next time I’m at the pump I’m gonna tell the attendant I will only pay oh…a buck and a half for my gallons because McQuaint says it’s all in our head.

If only we had listened to Jimmy Carter way back when. We would be sitting pretty today.

If you listen to Jimmy Carter today, then you’ll vote for Hillary Clinton. Jimmy Carter endorses Al Gore who carried out the Clinton policies of the 1990s.

Vote for Hillary Clinton and America. Thank you.

The taxpayers are still providing those juicy subsidies to the oil companies to “help” find oil. New administration coming in so get the money while they can. Talk to people in the oil industry, strange how they say, there is no shortage.
And how about the new field just opened up in Wyoming ? People , we have plenty of oil here, it is just a controled market.

Because anyone here needed any more proof that GOP/Chimpy leg humpers have no sense of humor , you decided to put that theory to the test , nitwit ?

Your post was unfunny , untrue , and completely off-topic ; you believe that’s somewhat “amusing” ?

Christ , you Gop nut huggers are truly lacking in every arena………

Alternative energy is the answer.

The problem? Utilities won’t fully implement this technology until they have a monopoly on the market & infrastructure.

They’re so used to ‘owning’ all of the resources, they can’t imagine a system that may allow reduced cost(s) to their profit margin.

They’re now charging more because they have wind power.

We need solar & wind arrays that are one household specific. Then, we need to be able to feed excess generated power back into the utility’s grids.

That’s the only way this dilemma can be solved. Of course, the idea of ‘ownership’ to households is completely repugnant to those wonderful American oligarchies.

Didn’t Bush say America would become an ownership society? I guess he didn’t talk to the big utilities on that one, eh?
