Actually I like it!! I’ve said for a long time now that the only way we’re going to be able to deal with Iran (and now OPEC courtesy of Mrs. Clinton) was for a Democrat to do it. And especially her. She would have the MSM eating out of her hand inside of a week after she gives a speech calling on international fairness... this is a threat to our way of life... ours and our allies security... yada, yada, yada. The world and US press would crucify a Republican but she could actually pull it off. How? Don’t forget that there’s a reason we have the strongest military in the world. Geez...if she turned into a female J.R. Ewing (of course you all remember “Dallas”, right?) I’d vote for her in a minute.

Like all liberals is is overstepping and overreaching

She will have a very hard time downplaying this overstep. She took Obama is off the hook

That's a mighty big statement to make with no cards in your hands and no money on the table.

Now if she said, "We will crush OPEC because we are going to start drilling in every hole where they might be oil."

She could say that but, Bill would be hitting the door at "drilling every hole"......

And we broke it by building the Alaska pipeline. Pass new legislation to drill in Anwar and let’s see what happens!

Of course, we broke OPEC stranglehold back in the 70's and could do it again if it weren't for the EnviroNuts and their willing stooges in Congress.

We could start by DRILLING in our own darn country! Drill ANWR!!! The caribu don't seem to mind!

... and another thing. Why don't we take about a decade and completely break this cartel by drastically increasing oil exploration and production off the east and west coast, and of course drill ANWR as well. And build at least a 100 nuclear power plants all over the country. Maybe 250, even.

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Some evil corporation might somehow make windfall profits if we did that.

We should be drilling everywhere and building nuclear plants for the power for plug-in cars coming from Germany and Japan.

Get the darn politicians out of the way and NO PROBLEM!

Hillary can’t control Bill’s zipper, why does she think OPEC will bow to her?

the bombastic nature of the rhetoric masks how foolhardy its premise is. in a bullfight, the matador waves a red cape to distract the bull from himself.

red cape = OPEC. Matador = Russia.

Do I need to draw pictures?

Is the US going to pass a law to stop OPEC and then enforce it?

Why not? That's pretty much the theory behind gun control.

One of these days I might change my tagline to:

“If we’re saving ANWAR for Caribou breeding, how come we’re the ones getting screwed!?”

Maybe she can send Billary in there to infiltrate their Harems. That may make them kowtow to the cankled one.

"We're going to go right at OPEC," she said. "They can no longer be a cartel,

Is she going to invade them?

She does realize that OPEC is made up of countries not corporations doesn't she?
