AMERICAblog: Oil investor sees $100+ oil for rest of 2008

  • CDS2 · 1 year ago
    What the hell, that price will come down as soon as we take all of our corn and make ethanol out of it. Of course, Corn Flakes will be $20.00 a box, and beef $50.00 a pound. Well, the atmosphere will be cleaner...ahh NOT.

    Part of the answser is to pump our own oil in Alaska and off Ted Kennedy's property in Cape Cod. 'Curse Ted won't be having any of that, it will spoil his view and sailing. Maybe we could build a new oil refinery or two, how about in Ted's back yard, there's plenty of room.

    That will surely make the Bush family happy...

    Looks like G. W. Bush personal goal to fuck up the nation's economy before leaving office is on track...

    WHEN WILL THE PEOPLE SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND DEMAND HIS IMPEACHMENT!

    AND THOSE AROUND HIM!

    I guess this comes as no surprise. America voted twice for two corrupt oilmen, and they will be leaving the WH after making their buddies in the energy companies filthy rich, and in record breaking amounts.
    Bush and Cheney have done NOTHING but help the oil companies, from the day they took over. They even helped them by attacking Iraq, for no obvious reason, and has secured the oil over there. Was this worth the lives of over a million people, including our troops? What have these crooks ever done to make sure we do not rely on other countries for energy, and helped to find alternate means?

    I hope the people who voted for these morons smile when they pay at the gas pumps! They got what they asked for.

    Add to this, all the wealth that is going out of the US to the countries that manufacturing has be outsourced, and the skyrocketing debt by the gov't for the War Against Global Terrorism and we won't have a pot to piss in, in about ten years. But we will be allowed to clean the piss pots of those who we sold our asses to.

    That settles it! We have to occupy Iran indefinitely, get the oil fields working, and take all of their oil in payment for their crimes against the Free World. When will President Bush get serious and appoint a Secretary of the Colonies?

    to put this in perspective our GDP is about $14 trillion a year. http://www.bea.gov/national/xls/gdplev.xls

    This oil adds to the trade deficit which is roughly $900 trillion. http://www.bea.gov/scb/pdf/2007/04%20April/0407...

    As the dollar weakens, as a result of this trade deficit and indirectly, government deficits our national wealth decreases.

    We have lost roughly half of our national wealth since GWB came to power and if McStain is elected we may lose the other half.

    This is too funny!

    Obama has a prolific presidential lineage that features Democrats and Republicans. His distant cousins include President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison. Other Obama cousins include Vice President Dick Cheney, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and Civil War General Robert E. Lee.

    BREAKING NEWS: here we go with another Billary scandal (how surprising, lol). Drudge is reporting that the new NY Governor Paterson was taking his sexual tryst partner on trips WHILE CAMPAIGNING FOR CLINTON! Hello? Can you say "another blue dress"? It seems like the Clintons are magnets for corruption and scandal.

    Mr. McCain = Mr. McGoo

    Anyone, but me, notice how McCain resembled Mr. McGoo in his "live" speech about the housing crisis Two things:

    A. If McCain is going to address the economy he needs to prove he has a grasp on it by using his OWN WORDS.
    B. He needs to wear bifocles if he can't see the teleprompter. Sure they will make him look older, but he looks worse when he stumbles over words because he can't read them. The American people are ready for a President who can read the VERY IMPORTANT teleprompter! We don't need Mr. McGoo for President.

    Well, since the Mahdi army is about to launch more attacks, oil is sure to go back up...after all, BushCo needs to keep on increasing its profits.

    This is surely something the Dems can use on McCrazy...if Clinton will keep her piehole shut...

    Put this in the scary shit file:

    Two fascinating articles from the German media vis-à-vis events that could affect the price of oil futures….

    Deutsche Presse-Agentur – March 22, 2008

    Saudi Shura council to discuss plan for sudden radioactive hazards
    http://wiredispatch.com/news/?id=96940/

    “Riyadh - The Saudi Shura council will secretly discuss national plans to deal with any sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards that may affect the kingdom following experts' warnings of possible attacks on Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactors, media reports said Saturday.

    “The Saudi-based King Abdul-Aziz City for Science and Technology has prepared a proposal that encapsulates the probabilities of leaking nuclear and radiation hazards in case of any unexpected nuclear attacks in Iran, the Okaz Saudi newspaper said.”

    Deutsche Welle -- March 22, 2008

    Cheney ends visit to Saudi Arabia
    http://www.dw-world.de/dw/function/0,2145,12215...

    “US Vice President Dick Cheney has ended his visit to Saudi Arabia with private talks with King Abdullah. […] They discussed ways to affect the energy market but no further details were revealed from the confidential talks that also covered Iran, Iraq and the Mideast peace process.”

    So, Cheney holds secret meetings with King Abdullah in which they discuss “Iran, Iraq, and the Mideast peace process” -- Cheney then heads off to Israel to meet with hawkish PM Ehud Olmert who is drooling to attack Iran -- and the Saudis schedule secret meetings to discuss “national plans to deal with sudden radioactive hazards that may affect the kingdom” following “experts’ warnings of possible attacks on Iran’s nuclear reactors”…and who are these “experts” who issued the warning?

    Are there any dots to connect here?
