Starnes, you conveniently left out the whole influence of the Futures Market! My God man. It is 1/2 of the entire equation. Many other facts were left out.
1. No major hurricanes this season in the gulf!
2. Major oil finds!
3. Increased production and refineries!
4. Status quo in the middle east for the past while.
These facts would always drive the futures market down.
Yes, the N. Korean issue which just proved itself last night and the OPEC meetings will have an effect, but the reality is that the Democrats did not uncover a problem, they smelled political opportunity for the dumb masses that empty headedly follow their talking heads.
Its funny how out of both sides of their mouth they label the Bush administration as the stupidest of all times and then try to portray them as brilliant and able to control even OPEC, the Futures Market and the entire world. Sorry, this does not wash!!!!!
This board is not for political debate, but I could not let such a biased post, with ½ the facts left out go unchallenged.
I hope your post and this one will end this OT discussion.
