It's more than that here Wayne.
Sure it is. Boats costing 100's of thousands and all the cost that go with it and it becomes stupid because fuel costs go up a couple thou.:huh::lol: I think the financial wall has been hit in most cases...meaning it is stupid for us to do this...we can't afford it any more.It is not important whether you can afford it or not. It is important as to whether it's worth it. At some point it becomes stupid to pay so much money to watch it go out the exhaust in fumes.
It sounds like they're going to turn loose some of the strategic reserves in hopes it'll bring the price of oil down a couple bucks. OK, but what will happen to the price when they start buying to replenish our reserves. Is it worth doing? Besides the oil they're releasing is likely cheaper than the oil they will have to buy to replace it. Who's picking up the tab for that...oh ya, I remember. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46761734/ns/business-oil_and_energy/
Your driving a 21 foot boat, try something that uses 3 or 4 times as much gas and we will see how that fixed income comes into play. What really sucks is gas is gas and if we put in 200 gallons the world market is determining how much we take it up the ass. Has anything really changed if you buy it at $2.00 gallon or $4.00 gallon just the profit margin that screws us all except the oil companies!
No Democratic president should be able to release oil from the SOR in an election year without a 75% Senate approval.

I fixed this to reflect what I believe you meant. . .
I trust you are pulling my chain with that comment and hope I come across as principled and consistent in my opinions.
NO ONE, should be able to prop up their reelection campaign with a release from the SOR.
I also think we the people should hold all politicians and commentators to consistent opinions on issues.

Pulling your chain is one of my favorite hobbies
So as you reframe the question: IF (and this is a big if) a release of a few percent of the oil reserve can move the price of gas 25-50 cents. . . when the current price threatens an ecomomic recovery after a long downspell. . . . is that in the strategic best interest of the country? Just because there is a direct corellation between "economic recovery" and "re-election prospects", does that automatically make it an incorrect move?
From what I have been seeing the last few years, the politicians and commentators are VERY consistent. If the other guys are doing it. . .it's bad. If our guys are doing it . . .it's good. The *consistency* on this point is epic.
Same thing applies to events that are TOTALLY out of American control. THEIR GUYS are to blame. OUR GUYS fixed it. The consistency is near 100%.
