Point taken, but my point is that at some point, critical mass as it regards to gasoline prices always seems to hover around $4/gallon.  The experts scream 'expect $5/gallon gas by such and such date' and the three times I've heard this, it hasn't happened.  Not to say it won't, but these experts drive the speculators.  All my opinion, of course.

This is how they pump up their product.  Its going to be $5 a gallon, oil will be $5 million a pint.  You better buy now so you can make money as it rises.  Yadda Yadda.

The president says "get used to it."

After all, oil is the evil that feeds evil businesses and ultimately provides income to the evil rich.

We can fix this problem, but we won't, because our "leadership" does not view it as a problem. 

Jimmy Carter is proud.

Why would you just make up words about what Obama said? Is that helpful to a good discussion about oil?

You are turning more and more into Glenn Beck.

We've also done nothing to reign in speculators who profit from pushing paper around never actually laying hands on the oil they buy and sell.  The rest of us pay the price for this.

Just what is it that these people do other than run the price up and line their pockets with our dollars?
