Finally, thank you President Obama

[Jarod]

I have been calling for this for years!

Hoping he would do this is a big part of the reason I so strongly supported the Presidnet...

Why have Gas Prices not been investigated sooner?

He should be investigating his own rogue agencies instead.

[Jarod]

I am very happy, I called on President Bush to do this and he refused.

I called on President Obama to do it a year ago, better late than never....

On the eve of every summer driving season the jump at the chance to run the price of oil up just a bit more....

You're such a fool, Jarod. It would be funny, if it weren't so incredibly pathetic...

Of course, we already knew Jarod is a political hack...

He seems like a nice guy, but he's gullible as hell.

from your link jarod:

Other presidents have also launched similar inquiries at times of rising oil prices and widespread public suspicions of market manipulation by the oil industry or by speculators.

As a southern woman might say bless Jarod's heart for believing this is anything other than opportunistic political rhetoric.

Didn't congress call them in a few years ago?

Isn't your stance old?

Obama could say, "let's drill", and also investigate, but he doesn't.

He just wants to investigate.

While gas prices go up.

I tend to believe that. If jarod was someone trying to make liberals look stupid, he wouldn't be so obvious. Jarod is surely for realz!!

[Jarod]

I stand corrected.

I hope this investigation is able to find any manipulation that exists.

I hope this investigation is able to find any manipulation that exists.

As gas prices inch towards $4.50/gallon in my neck of the woods I would love nothing more than to see something force the prices down. Your love for Obama aside take a step back and look at the big picture. As has been shown previous Presidents have claimed to investigate oil companies with no success. A lawyer on CNN this morning said it could take years for them to find anything and be able to prove (though he said they won't find anything).

This is a perfect definition of a politician saying something he knows the public wants to hear while himself knowing nothing will happen. I left Obama's name out of the last sentence on purpose because he is far from the first politician to do this. So don't fall in love with a politician's rhetoric. If this committee actually finds something and does something about it then you can crow to your hearts content. But otherwise take a chill pill on the overhyping of love.

Like I said, he'd be better off investigating his rogue agencies.
