Question

Obama in the Middle East, oil prices falling. Coincidence or not?

Answer 1

Well, if the Middle East thinks they can influence me to vote for Obama, it won't work. It is a plan, a trick.

Answer 2

It's not Obama, it's Bush trying to get his legacy out of the basement. His approval rating might rebound if gasoline is $2.50/gal. He realizes that History is going to  remember him a long time.

Answer 3

Oil prices started falling before Obama went on his extended photo-op.

The price of crude started dropping the day (or the day after) GWB rescinded the executive ban on offshore drilling.

Answer 4

O.K lets check, Hammas has endorsed him, his wife has said and projects a negative view of America, lack of any leadership or track record on keeping his word, pork barrel projects for his own constituency in the tens of millions!!,.

A nd lets not forget unless you are too young that there is No gas shortage as in the seventies driving the gas prices, just greedy commodities traders without an ounce of patriotism. Osama Obama doesn't have a thing to do with oil prices, you people are so blind, if it wasn't for his color 75% of you wouldn't vote for him. My advice to McCain is get a wipe on tan and go bowling....badddly.

Answer 5

Yeah...coincidence.

Answer 6

BobB is right.  Check the facts.  We have sufficient untapped resources to effect world oil prices.  The threat that we might start using them caused prices to start down.  Let's hope we get to see what happens when drilling actually starts taking place.

Answer 7

Bush announced that America would drill for it's own oil. That drove the prices down. If congress agreed with him, prices would drop like a rock. Don't hold your breath. The obstructionist democrats own the congress.
