    No it doesn't. It gets used wherever the Exxon Mobile or Shell wants it to get delivered. Aren't you a 100% capitalist?

    and what good will that do, while you completely disregard all the evidence I have provided you with, which every economist would use to make that judgement.

    Nancy pelosi and barack obama manipulated the price of gas higher, and bankrupted the average American.

    Then they wonder why our economy is still in the toilet.....

    duh.... freakn retards.....

    Youre simply wrong.

    A capitalist would never transport something for no reason.

    The price is set on the international market, but the orders are filled locally.

    America doesnt buy oil from Saudi Arabia, or Iraq, or Iran. America gets our oil from America, Canada, or Mexico.

    So instead of admitting you made it up you double down on stupid and make something else up?

    Obama and Pelosi raised oil and gas prices globally now? Before Obama was even president?

    Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!! You are making my brain hurt.

    So let me see if I understand, you're saying that because Obama supported higher gas pricess(which he didn't)in 2008 that caused gas prices to increase globally several years before your videos and also caused the housing bubble and banking crisis which caused the recession in 2006?

    This is really what you want to stick with?

    No those are your claims. Democrats took control over the house and senate in 2006, and gas prices went through the roof.... Nancy pelosi and her democrat pals forced prices higher, blowing up the average Americans budget. The American people couldn't afford to pay their bills. They couldn't pay their mortgage. They couldn't afford to pay their credit card bills. High gas prices force the price of all goods higher, even eggs at the grocery store.... Etc...

    When you can't pay your mortgage they forclose on your house.

    Obama and pals all told us their idiotic plan to decrease our dependency on oil by bankrupting the American people. They were gonna save us from global warming, by bankrupting the American people. Obama from day one planned on raising our electritiy rates, for global warming.

    Obama went all over the world encouraging his idiotic cap and trade plan to raise gas prices even higher. He encouraged printing money and devaluation of our currency, making gas more expensive.

    I can't think of a single thing democrats have done to actually help the American people.

    Sure banks suck. Sure banks made bad deals. Sure banks privatize the profits and socialize the losses. All that is true, but they can't take your house if you pay your bills.

    Who made sure Americans couldnt pay their bills?

    Obama and pals, that's who.....

    So, we're back to the claim that Obama and pelosi caused gas prices to sky rocket, globally mind you, and that is what caused the housing bubble to burst and predatory lending?

    And no economist has been able to put this together?

    And you want to stick to this latest claim pulled from your ass do you?

    Because that's not how it works. You are the one making outrageous claims here, and you are known for making (*)(*)(*)(*) up. You get called on it in every thread.

    So, you need to prove your claims. YouTube videos don't do that by the way.

    Before higher gas prices the oil companies couldn't afford exploration or drilling or rigs or proper reserve management... and young men were NOT studying to be petroleum engineers.

    gotta luv how many conservatives have no clue how commodity markets work. Especially those with a cartel at its heart.

    Seems that demand, political unrest, competition and massive speculation are incidental to establishing prices. who knew it was all simply about supply.

    Gotta love how the left refuses to accept the fact that fracking has caused OPEC to cut it's prices. Who knew it was simply about 'drill baby drill'?

    The U.S.A. can produce oil, comfortably, for between $60 and $70 a barrel. Not as cheap as $40 but a damn sight cheaper than $110 it was over the summer.

    There are some learned opinions out there that OPEC really can't stop the domestic boom here in the U.S.A.

    Can't be bothered to read the OP, eh? Palin is not mentioned in the OP. Just another knee-jerk Palin derangement syndrome attack.

    Obama never makes it above the double digit IQ range when ever he speaks, so that's nothing new.

    World oil prices are falling precisely because oil is a fungible commodity. Um Duh. Isn't that the point of the OP?

    That and Obama is an idiot who was wrong about drilling our way to lower gas prices.

    We'll see, but I'm concerned that US oil is going to loose. We just can't continue output at current levels. That means there's going to be winners and loosers, and among the loosers are going to be the little guys.

    Meanwhile the investors are looking at the oil price and they are going to pass on investing their money in US oil. That means no money to continue these operations. The whole system will collapse and drilling oil in the US will have a stain on it to discourage further investment and exploration.
