You don't think with oil at $37 per barrel, an unusually cold winter in the East and the economy starting to tank, that this last part of the law might have applied? Its unbelievable to what lengths you will go to prove the Dems. wrong but then how many excuses you will come with to cover the Reps. lapses.

I could ask why you would go to the lengths to defend action that (I think) you yourself disagree with, and use arguments that you probably know not to be true (other than perhaps the price of oil at some time in 2000).

Joe, let me see here. You agree that oil was at $37 per barrel but you don't agree that it was colder than normal in the East that fall, and that the economy was beginning to tank in late fall, 2000? I mean that was only a year and half ago; I was experiencing those events just like you.....how are those arguments not true?

I understand that the Reps. saw it as a political ploy en toto but I really do think there was some reason for taking the action. Comments such as it took a couple of months to get the oil out made the effort seem unnecessary and ineffective. On the contrary, crude prices are often determine more by political and economic events occurring in the world rather than on a rational buying and selling of the commodity.

The fact that Clinton was releasing oil from the reserves had the immediate effect of easing crude prices down from $37, and prompted a lot of off shore tankers to suddenly dock and unload their oil..........or do you dispute that as well?
