It's all part of the Demtard Default Scenario - when all else is failing politically, open up the Strategic Oil Reserve.

Wow. Great use of our Strategic Reserves.
Spend all of our money until we're so broke we can't pay attention and then use up all of our reserves we have for bad times. Sounds like a great plan for the future. Keep up the good work POTUS the Clown.  |

Quoted:

Look past the moment and figure out if oil hits another record high, how will he benefit from not having any reserves? What emergency act and legislation will he use/enact to 'help' us recover then?

Over about the last week:
1. Senate votes to cut ethanol subsidies. 2. AARP drops opposition to cutting SS benefits. 3. Obama releases strategic oil reserves with oil prices trending downward. Could there be some panic inside the beltway? |

See, this is actually complicated and it starts with the Ben Bernanke. You see, yesterday or so, the Ben Bernanke off the cuff said he did not know why the market was experiencing a downturn the last month or two. Now, there are only two possibilities here, either the Ben Bernanke is stupid, or he does not want to say what we all know. $4 gasoline causes consumers to spend less money on stuff that is not gasoline. If they don't spend money on other stuff, then people who make or sell something that is not gasoline make less money. This means that they are not as likely to hire people to make stuff that people won't be buying, nor will they invest in new equipment or research to make new stuff that people won't be buying. This is the secret here, we are an oil based society, and when the oil costs more, we spend less on everything else. Thus Obummer released some oil to make it appear as though he was actually doing something.
If the Ben Bernanke does not know this, he should be fired. Since I'm sure he does, he should be called out as a liar. |

I am not a doom and gloomer but I think many people are having reality checks about the state of the economy. I think the oil reserves is just try to tie his name to the decline of gas prices. |

What's worse is we are carrying on an illegal war with an oil producing country, helping to diminish supply, and at the same time using our reserves to keep prices down.

Well, whenever the people in charge, no matter who they are or what they are in charge of, make a move that makes no sense to me and has no political gain to them that I can see. I tend to believe they either know something I don't or have a plan that I am not privy to. In this case, I don't know, could it be knowledge of an impending military action by someone in the world that might upset the price of oil?

Quoted: It's all part of the Demtard Default Scenario - when all else is failing politically, open up the Strategic Oil Reserve. I don't want to have to be the one to bring facts into a GD thread but.... Strategic Petroleum Reserve sales 1985 - Test sale - 1.1 million barrels (175,000 m³) - Reagan 1990/91 - Desert Storm sale - 21 million barrels (3.3 million m³) - Bush Sr. 4 million in August 1990 test sale 17 million in January 1991 Presidentially-ordered drawdown 1996-97 total non-emergency sales for deficit reduction - 28 million barrels (4.5 million m³) - Clinton 2005 - Hurricane Katrina sale - 11 million barrels (1.7 million m³) Katrina shut down 95% of crude production and 88% of natural gas output in the Gulf of Mexico. This amounted to a quarter of total U.S. output. About 735 oil and natural gas rigs and platforms had been evacuated due to the hurricane. - Bush 2011 - Arab Spring sale - 30 million barrels (4.63 million m³) to offset disruptions caused by political upheaval in Libya and elsewhere in the Middle East. The amount was matched by IEA countries, for a total of 60 million barrels released from stockpiles around the world. - Obama Never knew Reagan and both Bushes were democrats...  |

my guess is so when our economy, and the AAA rating possibly take a belly-flop soon, there will be little or no reserve to be fallen back to. $15 a gallon, riots over food, marshal law, suspend 2012 election....etc. just an opinion.like krauthhammer says- watch what he does, not what he says.
