    ... The price of at the pump is artificially high right now ...

    I wouldn't call it artificial. I've been to the pump this week. It really does cost that much! :rotflmao

Not requiring business to pay for health care for entry level jobs? Not paying $1M for a soccer field for Gitmo? Not letting Iran get nukes? Not apologizing to a country that's killing our people? Not cutting benefits for military while keeping them for Unions? Not giving billions to his friend's business so they can get big bonuses before closing up shop?

    Wow, I used to think you had some level of intelligence, way to come out and remove that false impression. Hell, that might be twice I'm wrong now.

    Well, at least you come right out and admit that your are willing to harm America, if it harms Obama in the process.

    What other ills do you wish on the country out of your petty hatred of Obama?

    Disgusting and as unpatriotic as one can get, but like I said, at least you come right out and say it. would another terrorist strike be an investment in our future too?

    That's your answer,we all want to harm America to get at obummer.... It's the democrats and obammer who continually
    harm this country every day... Getting rid of obammer like one man said is an investment in our future. Believe me there is no shortage of people wishing for his demise... at any cost... hoping when you wake up each day there will be news
    that he was terminated during the night... Talk about holding one's breath... or better yet exhailing waiting for good news.. Another terrorist strike.... obama is a TERRORIST... hold this country hostage every day you doop..
    Wake up and grow a pair dude... or just wake up... We wish we didn't have to deal with his brand of chit... but when he's gone then this country will back to living again.. Moron...!!!!

    90% ignorant responses as oil whether drilled from here or elsewhere is ALL PRICED TO MARKET. Unless there is some legislation that keeps it here, you all got hope in one hand and **** in the other. GAS exports from this country are at an all time high. Fix your heads. This isn't political, its WALL STREET in your A$$.

    I could not be more in agreement. But these guys are looking for their evil Democrat to hate, just like the fools that were blaming it on Bush the last time they were this high who were looking for their Republican to hate.

    I drive about 200 - 300 miles a day in a company vehicle for work. 100 of those is the drive to/from work to my house. With the prices going up I wonder how much longer they will let me take my vehicle home. Has anyone with a company vehicle had this problem when gas prices went above $3.75 in the past?

    So much for that theory. Just because it's fixed pricing for us that way doesn't mean it has to be. China negotiates it's oil prices. So much for PRICED TO MARKET bull crap. I guess you fall into the 90%?

    I'm not against a legislation to say oil from public lands stays in the US either. Same with other govt contracts. A US based supplier gets preference. I see it in local bids all the time where a local supplier gets extra consideration.

    http://www.thechinatimes.com/online/2012/02/2189.html
    Strong trade relations between China and Iran seem to have a crack. In recent months, Beijing has reduced almost half of the purchases of Iranian oil, but it’s not because of a tightening of economic sanctions against Tehran from the international community. Analysts believe that Beijing is trying to get more favorable terms of the contract from the supplier.

    In recent weeks, China has reduced the imports of Iranian oil, placing its regional partner in a difficult position. Until recently, Beijing has imported about 20% of Iran’s oil, but since January the volume of purchases has greatly decreased – right on 285,000 barrels per day, according to Reuters.

    Temporary alternative to the Iranian oil comes from Saudi Arabia, which since October last year increased its production 360,000 barrels daily. According to Reuters, everyday about 200 thousand barrels of the increased production go to China. According to many market participants, Chinese commodity broker Unipec (a subsidiary of Sinopec) was able to increase supplies from Saudi Arabia. The prices for Saudi oil continues to stay at a very comfortable level for the PRC.

    Moreover, Beijing has the capacity of getting supply from different sources. It has got a few alternatives of Iranian oil. In particular, in March China should get the supply of Russian crude from ESPO total of 3.65 million barrels., As well as the supply with crude oil from Urals. Among other alternative energy sources of Iranian oil was gas condensate from the north-west shelf of Australia and the Timor Sea.

    Experts believe that such actions of the PRC is trying to gain an advantage in discussing the new long-term contracts for the supply of oil. “Realizing that the number of buyers of Iranian oil is reduced, Beijing began to pressure on Tehran to provide a long-term contracts in lower price. Of course, the discount is unlikely to be very large, but given the volume of trade, China can save a lot.” said the analyst Samual Sizuk from IHS Energy.


    Nevertheless, Tehran understands very well that Beijing will not totally abandon the Iranian oil. In practice, further increase in production in Saudi Arabia in the event of a crisis can lead to unpredictable consequences on the global energy market. “If Saudi Arabia is fully replace Iranian oil imports from the structure of China, there will be almost no free reserves, which can quickly enter the market in the event of war, natural disaster or other force majeure. This imbalance is very dangerous, Beijing is unlikely to take such risks, “- said Mr. Sizuk.

    China stands to be the biggest beneficiary of U.S. and European plans for sanctions on Iran’s oil sales in an effort to pressure the regime to abandon its nuclear program.

    As European Union members negotiate an Iranian oil embargo and the U.S. begins work on imposing sanctions to complicate global payments for Iranian oil, Chinese refiners already may be taking advantage of the mounting pressure. China is demanding discounts and better terms on Iranian crude, oil analysts and sanctions advocates said in interviews.

    “The sanctions against Iran strengthen the Chinese hand at the negotiating table,” Michael Wittner, head of oil-market research for Societe Generale SA in New York, said in a phone interview. While there are no confirmed numbers, Chinese refiners are likely to win discounts on Iranian crude contracts as buyers from other nations halt or reduce their purchases of Iranian oil to avoid being penalized under U.S. and European sanctions, he said.
