affirmative action....WTF are you talking about?

Also, the administrations international policies or the lack thereof have an impact on oil prices, since they can go up in military confrontation is looming, adjusted by friendly oil producing countries to accommodate our consumption, or adjusted to punish the U.S. for unpopular actions.

In addition companies developing overseas are at the mercy of local governments who respond to the U.S. policies. There are some variables.

Would oil companies raise prices now in anticipation of having to pay higher income taxes next year? You think they might do that?

Oh, I forgot to mention a release from the SPR. He has that authority.

Of course, this guy will blame high gasoline prices on a UTube movie!!!

Or, it's Bush's fault.

Or it's yours, LL!

"....we can’t forget the aftermath of the BP spill; prior to that disaster, Gulf of Mexico oil production was running at 1.75 million barrels a day, projected to rise to 2.2 million barrels a day by now. Instead, due largely to the year-long ban on new drilling, production is lower by around 700,000 barrels a day—and is being replaced by Saudi imports."

It does seem that the POTUS has an effect on gasoline prices, so long as the gasoline prices are connected to current oil supplies and future supplies.

when Bush was president you all said a president doesn't control fuel prices. now a president does? Make up your mind... Originally Posted by ekim008

You Dim Libs demand so little from Dear Leader. How's that change working for ya?

LL, since you brought up the BP oil spill. What ever happened to that $20 BILLION dollars the BP President promised Obama for the oil spill? I heard the spill was capped or contained somehow. About 3 months after the spill i started to see a bunch of TV adverts saying come on down to the gulf, everything's fine.

Was there ever an accounting of that $20B? Is it tied up in court? I'm sure BP put $20B in an escrow account, has any of it been released? I've got some friends in Nawrlins, nobody has reported getting a BP check.

WTF, you still have it wrong, it's spelled "gist". But you were more accurate with jest.

I'm not LL, but it looks like it is tied up in negotiations between BP and Justice, possibly over which law the fines fall under. Apparently one law has far better tax treatment than the other. At any rate, don't expect any type of announcement at least until after the election if the tax treatment rumor is true.

Notice how they dipped in 2009 after the economic crash of 2008? Interesting. Supply and demand. Demand must be going up, didn't I just read somewhere that national unemplyment went down? So that is why prices are rising, more money in the economy.
