President-elect Obama declares that oil prices [b] will go down[b], and because he said it, it will happen.

The current president of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Chakib Khelil, has said that the cartel will make no new decision on production levels until its Sept. 9 meeting in Vienna. True, however, the Saudi's have pledged to go to work at finding a better answer.

Big Bad Imperialist America bosses all of these nations around with its imperialist outlook and behavior, or so the far left hems and haws, but when the foreigners don't jump immediately to what big bad imperialist America wants when it wants it, then the far left cries about the foreigners and how big bad America didn't flex its muscle enough.

So I'm supposed to feel confident knowing that they pledged to the notion of going to work to find a better answer, all while my gas is still going up. I'm supposed to be "OK" with the "it is going to get worse before it gets better" mentality? No, but you should recognize that when the President spoke to Saudi Arabia, they respected him, and took his "begging" to heart and pledged to work with the world economy to find an answer. Liberals don't want us to drill for oil in our own backyard, or for that matter refine it. They don't want us to go to Iraq "for oil", and they don't want us to ask our allies for aid. They do, however, want immediate relief from high gas prices.

No, they politely rebuffed him with a subtle jab and stated things were just fine. Bush's "begging" did not change their minds as they most likely were already concerned with what was happening in the market, they simply used to him to make a subtle point.

Wait why don't we just Take the oil from Iraq as payback for our presence there? Maybe President Elect Obama will accomplish this.

Maybe he will take them as parting gifts when, on his first day in office, he fulfills his promise to immediately pull us out of Iraq. Wait, we're still in Iraq?! I thought he said we were coming home when all the rest of the Democratics said if we elected them last time, we'd be out right away....

No you shouldn't which is why you should support a change in monetary policy that stops the aggressive credit posture, dollar over-supply and tax cuts to further stimulate the economy while the fed raises short term rates to and Treasure signals an end to the cheap dollar.
That will help break the backs of speculators in the commodities markets, of which oil is just one that is being bid up to historically high levels. Wait, this is one of the "changes" that Barak has not mentioned. So with all his "changes" his changes will not be affecting Neo.

I say we just take the oil. We'll start with the idiot Chavez. That would be a weekend war.
