I wonder, can a state request the federal government declare a Federal disaster area over this issue and receive Federal aid?

Obama had the real and immediate solution to high gas prices....conservation.
And how did the asshole Republicans react to that? They made fun of conservation! They made fun of the only real and immediate solution to our problem. They are the biggest bunch of fucking assholes I have ever seen.
The Tire-Gauge Solution: No Joke - TIME
Is Gore, or Clinton, or Obama conserving? No... they would love to dictate to you to ride bikes or wear sweaters or use hand fans, all the while they use energy like Wilma Flintstone used her charge card... those are the biggest assholes that can be seen.. well, besides those that sheepishly follow them like messiahs
Conservation is NOT the total solution.... research and advancement into efficiency needs to be put in combination with more drilling and refining for short and near term relief and long term efforts into making the alternative fuels and energies viable in the vast scope that they need to be for the future
Here is a quote from CNN this morning...
"Oil prices have fallen sharply in recent weeks on worries that high prices are starting to cut into demand."
Is there anything more symbolic than Republican politicians debating in the dark for Big Oil?
Since they have been in the dark for most of there lives....
IF they share it with America and not sell it on the world market.
This wouldn't work. It would just cause the world market to raise their prices.
No it would not. American Oil companies sell on the world market what they have right now. If we give them NEW oil fields, they can take some of it of the world market and just sell it at home for cheap.
Saudi Arabia and Iraq and Iran sell their oil cheap to their citizens and sell the rest on the world market.
Yes we can!
Sorry, if our demand goes down from the world market, the other oil sellers aren't going to twiddle their thumbs and accept a lower profit.
The Democrats have proposed 4 solutions that would lower gas prices. The GOP said NO to every one.
Oh, and Obama saying he would consider drilling offshore? I love it! He said what I said yesterday. He would consider it, IF they share it with America and not sell it on the world market.
The Dems tried to pass a bill that dealt with speculation. The GOP said NO!
The dems wanted to give Americans the oil companies windfall profits. The GOP said NO!
Their only solution is to give the oil companies what they want and HOPE they share. LOL.

What? If demand goes down, won't prices too?
Thanks for the idea. Yes, this will have a double positive affect.
If we are buying less, then supply will go up!
1) How is Obama going to change the world market for oil?
2) The government is going to control how things are bought and sold... hmmm... what is that called again??
3) Wealth redistribution is part of what government control system that is not based on freedom and liberty.... what is that called again?
Obama is not presenting solutions for a free society....
No... conservation is NOT the immediate solution.. it is part of future solutions... and forced conservation is not going to happen unless you get your forms of totalitarian rule... you going to check to make sure every house does not have windows open a crack, and whisk away the conservation violators? You going to force someone who likes their house temp at 75 in the winter to comply to whatever standard you set?
Give me a break...
And whom from CNN...???
because by all means... if we had a $0.10 drop in gas prices, it had to be because of what you wish it to be, and not a combination of factors
Republicans or Conservatives do not fear conservation... just hypocritical mandates and gestapo enforceable hindrances on a person's freedom
