There was an intersection near my house with an average of 1 death a year over the last 15 years, caused by people running red lights. When teaching my son to drive, I took him to that intersection to show him that just because your light is green, do not assume you are safe.

tomok Champion Author Portland Posts:33,610 Points:2,374,185 Joined:Aug 2006	Message Posted: Feb 22, 2013 1:27:31 AM Ignore tomok Report Abuse Crude stocks swell to levels not seen since last summer, gasoline inventories drop and fuel prices at the pump continue to rise. Crude oil inventories increased, Gasoline inventories decreased, Distillate inventories decreased, Refinery utilization decreased 0.9% from last week, Total US oil stocks are up over last year but there are still high fuel prices at the pump. The fuel prices at the pump should be lower to help Sneeky's very bad crappy economy recover just a little bit faster! Big Oil and Big Gas sells fuel and natural gas on the world market for higher prices. 'Coming out of the closet' Sneeky's lousy, smoke and mirrors, lack of jobs, dog and pony show and in the crapper economy, the jobs are Not here. Sneeky's economy is not improving but continues to hurt the population and the job numbers continue to be down! No Thanks to the Mindless Pinhead Sheep that voted this bozo 'Sneeky' back in office. The US ‘oil and natural gas resources’ belong to the citizens of this country and are to be used by those same citizens! The price at the pump needs to go down to $2/gallon - $3, $3.50/gallon or *$4.00 is Not the new low! More Refineries are Not the answer, Stop exporting fuel! Take care of the domestic fuel market first and above all else! Drive vehicles with high MPG, are very safe, reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. The price of fuel at the pump is too high!

So when they blame Obama for high gas prices, because we don't drill here enough, they're just talking malarkey!
