The disasterpresident gets help from Saudi Arabia and Big Oil....what a shock.
That explains the drop in Oil. What about the drop in gasoline prices. The refineries are in our country. Ah, but the guys who run Big Oil are also friends of the disasterpresident. They have made huge profits under his administration and a DO-NOTHING, LOOK-THE-OTHER-WAY Republican Congress. In fact, they have made the largest profits by any measure for any corporation in US history. The greed of BIG OIL knows no bounds. Even though they want to help the disasterpresident retain his rubberstamp Republican Congress, they still like the MONEY and profit they have been allowed to make under the disasterpresident.
Let us examine how the wonders of capitalism effect the Oil market and Gasoline market as praticed in the United States.
In two years Oil prices have followed the same upward trend. The last dip in Oil and Gasoline prices occured in 2004. Interesting. Now, if you look at Oil and Gasoline prices in the last year you see that in all the turmoil, international rough spots for the pretzel, Katrina, Iraq, Iran, Oil has gone down .83%. In the same period Gasoline prices have dropped .61%, 10% of that drop happened this last week. The last week being a particularly poor news week for the Republicans.*
Just looking at the numbers, Oil has dropped internationally 27% more than the price of gasoline for Americans. That is odd. With the wonders of capitalism working its invisible hand to make all our lives better, you would think that Oil and Gasoline(its made from Oil for you Americans that still believe Saddam is the head of Al Qaeda) prices would go up and down in more or less unison. It is amazying how gas prices go up when Democrats are running poorly and down when Republicans are running poorly, especially the disasterpresident. BIG OIL has come through big for the pretzel not only in campaign contributions to him and his favorite lackies in congress, but also in the mood of the country when Gasoline prices go down. It is amazing how this trend in capitilism just seems to flow with the Radical Republican movement. It did not work for Goldwater, a true Republican. Ah, that is because you had another Texan(read BIG OIL guy) in the Whitehouse.
Again, looking at the numbers, this 27% descrepency between the drop in the price of Oil and the drop in the price of Gasoline is roughly equivelant to the amount of exorbitant profits BIG OIL made quarterly during the reign of the disasterpresident. At corporate board rooms around the country you can hear the unanimous cheer, 'find the nearest Diebold voting machine and vote early and often, and make contributions to Republicans as if your profits depended on it.........'
America, get out and vote in November. It is the only power you have left.
