Oil's records headed for gas pump

"In early November, consumers will spend $100 million a day more (on gasoline) than at the beginning of October — and right before holiday shopping season," he says. "Not a welcome development at all for retailers or consumers."

1. For this very reason alone, the Bush Administration needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP

about war with Iran.

They've screwed up the Middle East, cut back drastically on the amount of oil Iraq can provide to the world, there are pipeline issues due to insurgency, and any excuse that can be used will be used to jack up the price of oil.

For this very reason alone, Bush needs to shut up about expanding his war.

And for this reason alone, Congress needs to get involved for a change and PUT A STOP TO WAR WITH IRAQ. NOW.

When is our government going to start working for our best interests again? (Best interest does not equal what's good for American businesses, as we've seen quite clearly under the Bush Regime.)

2. Well, at least perhaps folks will remember what 8 years of Republican

rule brought upon the good citizens of this country when they enter the voting booth in '08.
If there's anything left, by then....

4. Consumers will spend 100 million a day more???????

Or Oil companies will make 100 million a day more?

Framing is so important.

5. Holiday travel will soon be upon us

Thanksgiving is one of the biggest driving holidays and Christmas will soon be followed.

They always manage to get the price up for these driving holidays.
