The echo chamber keeps rattling around. Who is it that makes the first shout? WTI is what matters, not Brent. Supply and demand pales in comparison to speculator greed and clout. Change that and we will get somewhere. Otherwise past is prologue.

Please thank BIG OIL, their Republican defenders and Abdul by voting your Republican politicians out in November." Oh, what a crock! You libs will come up with anything to take the attention away from your grand failure of a president. Large quantities of gas get exported elsewhere simply because people elsewhere are willing to pay a higher price for it. It would be absolutely stupid (a.k.a. "liberalthink") to sell a commodity locally for below-market value IF you wanted to stay in business and make a profit. As for Republican defenders of Big Oil, all you need do is see who raked in some of the highest contributions from oil companies. Here's a hint: his name is OBOZO! As far as "Abdul" being in bed with the Republicans, just remember that it was Obozo who went around the Middle East, apologizing to and bowing to the Arab world, slighting Israel in the process. Also remember during the last election that Obozo got an endorsement from that wonderful terrorist organization, Hamas. In other words, you're batting zero!

How does that happen. It's been in the ground for 1000's of years before it is discovered, pumped out and transported to a storage facility. All of a sudden its going to go stale?????? And it isn't as if exposure to the atmosphere would play any part. There is air trapped with it under the surface of the earth. [Edited by: studebaker1940 at 8/25/2012 12:03:41 PM EST]

OK, it someone would attack the US and WW3 starts, then it's a good idea. But, oil in and oil out (oil gets stale, so it doesn't sit in the reserve tanks forever... it is always being pumped in, resold, pumped out, then new oil comes in. Someone is making money from this process, but it isn't the American taxpayer.
