RATFLAMO!!! What a great post!! You have described yourself down to a T...unbelievable, that the one thing that really pisses you off is the one thing you do constantly....
Perhaps you could be specific and point out where you have called me to the mat, requiring me to back up a claim, and I had dodged and deflected and ignored you.
As now I am calling you to the mat.:teeth:
Perhaps you could point out where you have done it and not been trounced by me.I have done it several times already. You have failed on every occasion. Why would you start now? Why should I do so again only for you to do the same? I won't waste my time...neither will you....
Holy Hell!! how moronic. Believe me no oil reserves have been used to alter the supply and effect gasoline prices for the purpose of the election. It would be political suicide, pounced upon a by a savage media freenzy.
As far as the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is concerned, I do not know if any more oil has left the reserve recently. But the oil released after Katrina has not been replaced. This came directly from a USGovt Dept of Energy spokesman. According to Federal Law, such drawdowns are to be replaced within 60 days.
Oh, didn't you know? There's a computer in the Oval Office that Bush uses every morning. It simply has four blanks labelled "Unleaded," "Premium," "Supreme," and "Diesel" with a "submit" button at the bottom.
We live in an open and free society with freedom of the press. The release of oil from the SPC would envolve numerous bureaucrats, refiners and distributors, the event would be noticed. If such an event occured for the purpose of increasing the supply of gasoline to help reduce the price for US consumers during an election cycle the mainstream media would have an gigantic spontaneous orgasm all over themseleves reporting such an event. There has been no such reporting. Such a notion my hold water for the tinfoil hat crowd, but in reality it is absurd.
Just to be clear here ... as stated in my earlier post, gasoline prices were markedly affected by the timely adjustments in the GSCI (early August). These adjustments had a predictable effect on the price of gasoline (putting downward pressure on the price). This action by Goldman Sachs has been widely reported and criticized by many.

Wow that's great, thanks for just being clear. You keep quoting me for your responses. I never once mentioned the adjustments by Goldman Sachs. I was responding to Huckleberry's absurd notion that the President could have used the SPR to influence gas prices.
You may have meant to respond to Huckleberry but you quoted me in your response in error. Hence, my previous post. Next time quote Huckleberry for you response.
