Capt Bullshit And the Strategic Oil Reserve

Capt Bullshit has done it again and reversed that is flip flopped on the use of the Strategic Oil Reserve, In his latest hot air pronouncement he is proposing tapping the nation’s strategic oil reserves to help drive down gasoline prices, his campaign said Monday. Obama supports releasing light oil from the emergency oil stockpile now and replacing it later with heavier crude more suited to the country’s long-term needs, according to a campaign fact sheet. Light crude oil is easier to refine into gasoline than heavier oil. Obama is emphasizing energy and the economy in campaign stops this week in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, beginning with a speech Monday in Lansing, Mich. Gas prices over $4 a gallon have become a top issue in the presidential contest. In the past, Obama has not advocated tapping the oil reserve, but campaign spokeswoman Heather Zichal said he has reconsidered. “He recognizes that Americans are suffering,” she said
Of course this is the same guy that weeks ago said we could not drill our way to lower prices until he and many other Democrats after being hammered for the last week flipped flopped on offshore drilling. These people must think we are all brain dead to belive their bullshit lies. I goes he forgot what the reserve is used for, keeping us and primarily the military functioning if there is a disruption in supply. You know little things like the Iranians shutting down the Straits of Hormuz like they threatened again today. Click the title for the link to the International Herald Tribune.
