Remember Drill, Drill, Drill? Remember, use your leases or lose them?
Remember tuneups and tire guages? Remember Bushs' oil buddies?
Remember the money (16k?) that BP donated to Obama?

Looks at the reasons that oil prices have gone up. Lots of reasons. Not all did Obama have anything to do with. Like the increase in consumption in China and India. But appropriating money to some company to drill off the coast of South America? Rumor...?

How about creating more debt in 3 years than Bush did in 8 and according to a few, more debt than every president before him....
Oh, wait, taking all the money from Warren Buffet (democrat) and Bill Gates (democrat) and the other rich folks, will pay down the debt. For how long? When do we run out of other peoples money?

Oil is bought in dollars and printing money creates inflation. Whats gold at? The cost of oil goes up. War? obviously has an effect in ME oil.
But Canada and Mexico are our biggest suppliers in a world market. World supply and world demand. Our reserves are 2% of the world? Reserves= govt petroleum reserves, not the supply of oil in the ground.

Then he and Chu, (Dept of Energy)who apparently does NOT own a car, try and say that increasing supply wont have an effect on the price of gas. But alternative energy, (like algea) will bring down the cost of gas. Some guy called Rush and told him he works with algea and oil would have to be 300 dollars a barrel, to make algea profitable.
Ya, Obama gets props for visiting a vehicle plant that makes natural gas vehicles. How long before those guys become your target for too much success?

The bakken oil discoveries are on private land, or would we be drilling at all there?
