The Saudi's can't supply what they haven't got .. I think that's more likely than not. There just isn't any meaningful excess supply buffer any more. Cavuto sounds like an addict looking for another fix .. The constant drum beat about our "oil addiction" really bothers me. The usual connotation of "addiction" implies dependence on a harmful substance. Oil is quite the opposite, in fact an immensely beneficial substance, the very lifeblood of our economy and standard of living. Take away heroin from a junkie addict and his or her health improves. Take away our "addiction" for an "oil fix", put our civilization on "cold turkey", and we die. That's reality. We need more energy, realistic energy, and we need it not just now, but yesterday. Our political "leaders" and media spinmeisters are so far behind the curve on this that it's scary. Polar bears and windmills.... Insanity..

You should watch Cavuto several days in a row, then see what you think. He is respectful, lets his guest finish his/her thought, BUT also says what he thinks as well. He doesn't allow himself or his guests to talk over one another. Check his sources....he has all sorts of varied people on. Then tell me what you think. My guess is you have never watched even a whole show of his....if you had you wouldn't have said that. He and Cramer are miles apart, both in knowledge and in action. Thank goodness. I've gotten so that I simply can't be in the same room with Cramer.
