Hillary Reams Bush About Oil
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008
Hillary Clinton added to the humiliation of Bush’s recent unsuccessful attempt to get the Saudis to give us more oil during the debate last night, telling the 5 people watching “President Bush is over in the Gulf now begging the Saudis and others to drop the price of oil. How pathetic.” Her plans, by contrast, would be to reform the American economy to be more green; get workers into “green collar jobs,” by which she probably doesn’t mean landscaping; and to move us “towards energy independence” which would do absolutely nothing about oil prices in the short- to medium-term but sounds really good at the debate. And, naturally, she’ll never go make nice with the Saudis when she’s President, because that’s just pathetic. [AFP via Breitbart]

If you’re freaked out over oil topping $90 a barrel for the first time in history, maybe this will add some depressing historical perspective: Oil topped $100 per barrel at another grim point in U.S. history when George Bush was first running for president and America’s imperial troubles in Iran and Iraq threatened our precious oil supply from the Persian Gulf — in 1980! 
Okay, anti-war peaceniks, whine all you like about the trillion-dollar occupation of Iraq. But do you know how big the Iraq oil reserves are, according to the latest and bestest estimates based on the 
Hey Mexico, WTF? Today is supposed to be the magical day of Expecto Petraeus! And tomorrow’s the big 9/11 celebration, okay? What is with you people having some kind of Star Wars-esque rebellion attacking the gas pipelines and crazy semi-trucks full of dynamite blowing up on the highways and killing 34 people? 
Our worst enemy of the moment is, apparently, the Evil Nation of Iran.* But the business of America is business and Mitt Romney is a gazillionaire businessman, so of course he’s been doing business in Iran forever. But to run for president these days, you need to act like you’re very concerned about the great enemy that is Iran. Romney went so far as to demand state pension funds divest from any companies doing any work in Iran.
