Oil took a 10% dive today as speculators started selling

off
positions
out of fear the top price has been seen.

These speculators should have to pay a huge tax on their

profits since
they're causing so many Americans to pay inflated prices at

the
pump
and causing inflation in every sector of retail.


NEW YORK -- Oil prices took a nosedive Thursday in a

historic
selloff,
erasing weeks of gains and indicating that the months-long

climb in
energy prices may have hit a ceiling.

Crude oil plunged 10 percent as startled investors unloaded

their
positions and a weeklong decline accelerated into an

outright
freefall. The price of U.S. crude went from triple digits

to
double
digits, falling below $100 after opening at close to $110.

Brent
crude, a European benchmark, lost $12 at one point in a

sell-off that
exceeded the one following Lehman Brothers' collapse,

Reuters
reported.

An oil correction is underway, experts said, as the price

is
moving
toward what fundamental economic factors dictate it should

be.
For the
American consumer, plagued by weeks of rising energy prices

that have
begun to weigh heavily on the economy, a bit of respite may

be
at
hand.

Surely, the fact that crude oil prices have nothing to do

with
pump
prices.... any more, at least....

Nope, not a bit. Bush put a stop to that when he was

pocketing
all the oil money. It appears 'Bama
is carrying on the tradition.

Well..... politicians are politicians.....



A very interesting theory that Bush was pocketing all the oil

money
and Obama is doing the same.



Idiocy on parade, courtesy of Herring.



The Bush family was in the oil business and many of his allies

came
from oil, I don't recall Obama or Obama's family in any similar
situation.


Hunter gatherers and witch doctors.



Obama's friends are all into ethanol... 150 ethanol refineries just

in
the Chicago area alone...
