Yes, this is real good. For example, during last years election cycle the price of oil rocketed to almost $150/barrel despite the global glut. This spike didn’t help Republicans because Dems used the “crisis” as a campaign tool. Then the Muslim gets into the White House and the price of oil sinks to $40/barrel. Then, we hear a Goldman Saks story were they purchased numerous oil futures during the election campaign and stored the oil in massive tanks in Connecticut. Now, G.S. is getting very sweat deals from the Muslim. Coincidence? Sounds like a soap opera story, but it’s all true.
“This spike didn’t help Republicans because Dems used the ‘crisis’ as a campaign tool.”
I do recall last summer being boom-time for global warming hysteria. But was anyone but the choir really listening?
I also remember “Drill here, drill now!” being popular and tracking good poll numbers. McCain was well positioned to use it against Obama. Then the bailout frenzy hit, and nobody cared anymore.
