Seems Obama has said that the AG is assembling a "team" to investigate claims of fraud and manipulation in the crude oil markets that might have contributed to "high" gasoline prices.
Really?
If even Ryan could admit that Reagan's 1980s limitations on crude oil speculation pricing was a "good thing" and that Bush Jr. should never have removed them in 2001, then why can't Obama simply do the same and put them back into place? The only reason I can imagine is that the original idea was "Republican" and stemmed from the most hated GOP President in recent memory for most liberals, rather than some ragingly progressive Democrat.
My fear is that this "investigation" will lead to a witch-hunt that does nothing but pit the Administration against "Big Oil" rather than fix the damn problem at the source!!!!! That's partisan politics at its best...
