This is the same refinery that was the only refinery in Tennessee back in 2008.

Expect more damage and delays, shutdowns in both delivery of product, and receipts of crude, from the refineries in MS and LA affected by the flood crest moving down the Mississippi.

Obama is torn: he MUST have prices go down to avoid a 2012 defeat, but he WANTS them to go up because his philosophy of socialism and social justice HATES capitalism and most especially Texas big oil.
