White House brushes off questions on oil release; says ‘announcement’ coming Wednesday
The Hill ^ | 10/18/2022 | RACHEL FRAZIN

The White House on Tuesday brushed off questions about whether it will release more oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to deal with rising gas prices, even as it said an announcement will be coming tomorrow.

“I don’t have anything to announce at this time… we are going to make an announcement tomorrow so I will let the president speak for himself,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Tuesday when asked about whether they would release barrels from the country’s oil reserves.

No we don't need to keep any of the Strategic oil reserves for reasons of actual national security. It's for political strategy that Biden is concerned. Drain those tangs baby. We got an election to win

Trump . . . . no inflation

Biden . . . . Inflation

Biden states . . . . If you vote for Republicans inflation will grow

Tampering with the mid-term election is treasonous Joey. Anyone else would be in a federal pen.

Well, perhaps he'll read for himself. This will be another "President to make comments about...." deal. He won't take ad lib questions, and he'll walk away. And no so-called news organizations mind that he never takes unrehearsed questions - incredible.

The White House sure has a lot to say — for a building.

to deal with rising gas prices,

Crude is down to 82 bucks and change, so, not rising.

Buildings don't have to take questions.

Let the good times roll

We don’t. It’s all planned out. Biden and the woke generals will surrender to China after a single shot is fired. The lesbian, immigrant negress will call it “saving America and American lives.”

Someone should ask this moron what’s he gonna do when the reserve is EMPTY? Then what, Joe?

Someone should mention to the masses that the reserve is for national EMERGENCIES, not high gasoline prices.

Home heating oil has gone up almost $1.50 per gallon in the last two weeks here in NH.

It’s about $5.80/gallon.

Thanks Maggie Hassan. I hope it tanks your chances for that senate seat.

Sounds like a bull market for wood stoves and firewood.

Apparently those are in short supply as well.

We are fortunate in that we had a nice catalytic stove for heat. It’s very efficient. And also, we have a good supply of wood that we are in the process of splitting and stacking, and will continue to do so as long as the weather holds.

The forecast for the next 10 days is beautiful. VERY warm and mild for late October. Highs in the 60’s for next weekend.
