Barry the Black Dude is going to release strategic oil supplies.
Old US political adage: “Nobody ever won an election with high prices at the pumps”.
And to think that, four years ago, some folks thought President Obama would put a stop to naked Federal manipulation of the paper-tracker gold market.
Oh how we who once were babes are now rendered tired.
Is that Brzezinski’s method to signal there’s no American attack on its major Eurasian Muslim perpetration e.g. the US fabricated Mullah Regime in Iran?
So let me get this straight. When the war starts after the election (seriously, everyone knows about that right?) and oil prices shoot the moon… the US will have already released it’s strategic oil reserves?
Does anyone else see a planet-sized problem approaching?
OH for a Democrat majority in Congress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not that much different to ‘Givaway’ UK budgets a few weeks/ months before an election…….. (pay later you sukkers !) …we bin there too !
( Greece sure does not have the copyright on that trick ! )…despite some fine recent very unoriginal entries for the prize……
Next line will be….”A vote for Romney is a vote for higher pump prices”…as by November 7th the petrol givaway will be pretty much factored out…except that by now you have got Joe America droolin over cheap gas……So goin to knock the Sh**te out of IRAN on 8th Nov ..’cos them Dudes is theatening to close them Gulf waterways and screw the price of gas for decent home luvvin Americans……….should get full public support.
It sounds a lot easier to sell (explain/ defend) to a nation (where foreign policy starts at Anchorage and ends at New Hampshire) than ‘why we are supporting Israelies attempt to subjugate the entire Middle East and the Muslem Brotherhood to keep our finger in the black guey stuff’ …both at the same time’
….As I said before……In America ya gotta have “Goodies and Baddies” or nobody understands nothin,,,
Graham, shame on you.
You left out the Dude’s supposed birthplace, Hawaii
Good evening.
Mr Obama, is the man of the moment.Releasing oil reserves to make him look great, is of course no surprise.Much like the Strauss Khan/Assange style character assassination of Herman Cain, who seemed to me, a thoroughly decent chap, who had the severe disadvantage of potentially splitting the black vote.
Keep up the good work Mr slog, I appreciate your clear insight into the financial aspects of the madness particularly.
Farewell.
I think u are right , wonder how much kick back he gets from big oil NOT to make them stop screwing us at the pump
I used to enjoy your blog until; you decided to print “non-stop” the same kind of disinformation in support of the corrupt Greek elite (“the US will bail out the Greek slime for “geopolitical” reasons that I can’t describe because my reasons are TOO STUPID for anyone to seriously believe”). I can only conclude that you have “become” that which you used-to-describe to be against. Too bad.

Off you go, then.
Everyone else
This chap pretends he can’t read: in the last nine posts on Greece, I have slammed the Greek elites every last time.
Except that he knows this perfectly well.
In the States now, Troll-swarms are standard practice against sites that slam Obama and his band of sociopaths.
There is currently a swarm (I think) aimed at The Slog on all matters EU and Wall Street.
I have to say, I’m terribly flattered.
BT, on the other hand, is just a sort of Lee Harvey Oswald figure with many aliases. He should probably be banned from entering tall buildings.

I think we must’ve been reading different blogs. Because if John has been supporting the Greek elites (elites everywhere for that matter) in his opinions, I’d be interested to read his writings if he hadn’t been supporting them!

Whether you like the blog or not is immaterial. You have the option not to read and comment don’t you?
Disagreeing with someone’s point on a particular subject is what healthy debate is all about -providing you evidence your disagreement.
I find your post sadly childish in nature.
The MacDaddy and his communist friends will do anything to get re-elected. Just watch for the next ‘bribe’.
It’s the same the world over, the US electorate has a choice between someone who has broken most of the promises they made to get elected and may go to war with Iran by the end of the year, or someone who is going to break the promises they make to get elected and will go to war by the end of the year. Or they could elect Ron Paul but……..
I guess Obama should be relieved that the Chinese have yet to choose to tell the world what their current reserves of gold are. Why would they when they are swapping all that useless US paper bond ‘money’ for it and effectively at a huge discount.
When they do tell the world what they have for sure we will say goodbye to US$1600 for ever. Tick Tock
No big deal to release some of the SPR before an election, almost standard practice these days, a small perk of office and, yes, Obama will be reelected. As i said before, if you have choose between syphillus and gonorrhea go for the latter every time.

What an absolutely brilliant analogy.
To continue it, in the UK we the choice of syphilis, gonorrhoea or chlamydia. Problem is that the choice of any of them has long term complications for fertility.
It will be really interested to see what will become of some of these rigging companies after this next election. I hope that eventually we can start to open more rigs in the United States. Then we are not so dependent of the Middle East for oil.
chocolate is very bad for dogs
this troll is very lame
Re coco-pooch
This sounds like yet another Troll who despises me for having a holiday home in France.
What thinks we all – stay or go?
I’ll take that as a ‘go’ vote, then.
Go.
Go – Just wastes everybodies time !
Democracy at work on the blog ! Good plan +1
Swing the ban hammer.
