Re: $4.00 +++ per gallon
[ QUOTE ]
I would really like to see the US stand up for a change and flat out tell them NO, we will not pay that much...we will TAKE the oil!!!! [/ QUOTE ] Are you kidding me? No wonder why so many people hate Americans. The price of oil these days has very little to do with OPEC and everything to do with the commodity market combined with the value of the US dollar.

BTW - Exxon recently reported a profit of 9.2 billion dollars for the last quarter which is the largest amount of profit recorded by any company anywhere in the world ever! Maybe the high cost of gas lies within the USA.

Re: $4.00 +++ per gallon
President was told during a news conference last week that gas was averaging $3.29 nationwide (I think--somewhere in there) and he looked genuinely surprised and a little flummoxed. Granted, elites (Bushes and Kennedys alike) have no idea what the rest of us have to deal with in our daily lives but you would think that the oil guys we elected in 2000 and 2004 would have an idea what is going on in the industry and the daily lives of Americans.
Halliburton is doing well. Oil industry profits are skyrocketing. Dare I say "mission accomplished." $4 a gallon is going to look GREAT a year from now. Oh well, out to the garage! The wrenches, rags and cold floor are waiting!

[/ QUOTE ] With little manufacturing left in the U.S. to invest in speculators have to invest their money in something else to turn a buck. That something just happens to be oil. We cant do without it and speculators are taking advantage of the situation. Not much different than investing in gold, land speculation or the banking industry. They're just in it for the bucks. And they're making a killing doing it.

Re: $4.00 +++ per gallon
I am not sure the price of gas is a reflection of our middle east friends. I think it is all here in the USA, or should I say with USA people. I am going to blame Chuckie in Coin Etticut! He has control of all the car parts and racing decals now.......its the oil!

Re: $4.00 +++ per gallon
Have you checked what Exxon and others are doing with their profits. Sounds like they are buying up all their outstanding stocks that they can get their hands on. Might be wrong as I'm no stock market expert.

Why are we bailing out the mortgage industry?
