Transcript from Obama speech at Stivers today:

If Iran decided to shut down the petroleum-rich Strait of Hormuz tomorrow, they believe oil would skyrocket to $300-a-barrel in minutes, a price that one speculator predicted would result in $12-a-gallon gas. $12 a gallon.

Iran may try to close it down but it would be back up in a matter of days. The West would see to that.

Obama’s indecision and inaction after Hormuz is closed is what would drive the price sky high.

Ordinarily, the market would expect a swift re-opening by US Military forces, but with Zer0 in office, they will expect inaction and a long closure.

The price per gallon already is destroying the economy which in turn will result in even less money going into government coffers.

Are they really this stupid or is it a way to show us their power? One other poster noted that at $12.00 per gallon we would begin lynching politicians. I think the threshold for that is already here.

$12 gas will result in the lynching of politicians.

yep.

He is creating chaos with his actions or lack thereof.

He wants to do this, of course.

People like Soros (globalist) and groups like the islamists, find a strong foothold amidst strife and confusion. uhbama bends to soros and sucks at his teat for money, but, imo, it is the setting of the stage for economic destruction and islamic sharia that is most likely his goal.

Our Consititution is under attack by assigned regulators who are, along with a congress that has been a bad steward of OUR MONEY,stripping us of the power to engage in liberty and prosperity.
