And it was your generation that got us in this mess to begin with. But keep blaming Obama, that's been going so well for you politically. -

But its not. This story stinks. I looked on gasbuddy.com for the Orlando area. There is one. One station in Lake Buena Vista that is charging 5.89 for regular unleaded. It's not even on the Walt Disney World grounds. Its not as if it's the only station on a 100 mile stretch of the Everglades where they can gouge because they're the only game in town.There are at least 10 stations in the surrounding area, I'd say within a square mile radius, that are all charging the state average of 3.60-3.70. That story is straight up BS, and suckers like you eat it up for some sort of glimmer of hope that it'll make Obama lose in November. -

Cute headline, but context matters. -
He was correcting Rudy's misinformation. Something we non-conservatives have to do a lot of around here.

Tomato = Tomahto. I'm not aware of what Silver Eagle is referring to. -

What I posted is not related to speculation? Currently the same amount of oil is on the world market as there was 4 weeks ago. Iran cut off supply to Britain and France, but not to the rest of the world. China, India, Russia, the US, the EU ect all relatively demand the same amount of oil. Nothing dramatic has changed: no tanker spills, no pipeline explosions, no one nation suddenly stopped or started using vehicles and airplanes. The main cause of oil prices escalating has to do with speculation that supply might be decreased and/or otherwise compromised due to geo-political instability in a region that supplies a whole bunch of it. I didn't say its greedy, I didn't say its illegal, I didn't say its wrong in any way, I just said that's what it is. -

But the Strait of Hormuz is where 20% of the world's supply travels. -

This isn't really correct. Speculators right now are afraid of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, and general instability in the region. Yesterday the price of oil rose $1 per barrel just on the news alone that Iran wouldn't allow UN inspectors to see their facilities (gawd this sounds familiar). Some countries are buying up huge amount of oil in the event that any sort of conflict escalates with Iran in the near future, which also causes the price to rise. Hopefully after it all calms down, we'll be slightly overloaded with supply and gas could take a strong dip depending on when this all blows over. The Keystone pipeline decision has nothing to do with it, the first date of operation for that wouldn't have come anytime soon. -
I had a big problem with the fact that we've been there for 11 years. Longer than Vietnam at this point. I understand the geo-political absurdities that came with invading Afghanistan, but why are we still babysitting them after all this time? Al-Qaeda has been dismantled for years now, the Taliban is willing to negotiate a peace process, and we're still paying for this war through borrowing.
