Gore pressed Clinton on Thursday to release some of the reserves -- in a series of 5-million-barrel batches -- to try to press down prices topping $37 a barrel, a ten-year high. <snip> The law authorizes the president to draw down SPR supplies to counter a "severe energy supply interruption", that is "of significant scope and duration, and of an emergency nature," and that "may cause major adverse impact on national safety or the national economy." 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. That double standard of yours is still in play! <snip>
