The whole incident was a momentary blip in the pricing of oil. Care to explain the prices of 2007 and early 2008? How did Republicans cause that?
BTW - what's so surprising about adding to the SPR when we had just launched a war, and were already building a case for launching another in the Mideast? Do you think that they were hedging against a repeat of 1980's tanker wars in the Straits or Hormuz, or the 1973 oil embargo?
As a man who has made a ton of money in oil, believe me when I say that the global oil market is bigger than whoever is in charge in Washington.
Why would I weep?
