Michele Bachmann has been on a relentless rampage to increase drilling here, there, and everywhere for several weeks now.... and wouldn't you know it -- without getting one single new well authorized or even one drop of oil extracted from anywhere, she seems to have dropped the price of commodity crude by $20 per barrel in the last 10 days (from $147 to $127 per barrel).
The woman is a miracle worker!
The oil speculators must be cowering in fear of oil gushing out all over and hammered down the futures contracts. Rumors of Michele using her direct line to God flourished on the Chicago Board of Trade and an oil panic spread far and wide.
Rumors abound that Bachmann will begin the next phase of her war on gas with a new campaign plan.... quoting the rumor:
"You've heard of a chicken in every pot? Well, we want a rig in every backyard!"
Congress had better watch out. She blames YOU!
To quote the AP:
Michele Bachmann said Tuesday that the United States must tap its energy reserves and that only Congress is standing in the way of making a dent in rising fuel costs. ......"It's like having a room full of hungry children and a pantry full of food with a lock on it," is how Bachmann described the refusal of congressional leaders to authorize more domestic energy production.
Please, ma'am, may I have some more?
Yes, we have found our answer to the rising cost of oil -- just let Michele Bachmann rant.
It seems to be working so far.
Who in there right mind is OK with buying 60% of our oil from foreign countries when we are capable of buying 100% of our oil from the good ole USA? It doesn't matter what you think of alternative energy expansion, we need to face reality, get our own oil, create millions of US jobs in the process and bolster our own economy, not that of the middle east and our buddy Hugo.
