Germany's ambassador to Washington, Klaus Scharioth, has reportedly worked for weeks to convince Obama's campaign that the candidate's only large European appearance should take place in Berlin. Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier talked to Obama by phone last April and learned that he might visit Germany. In the meantime, according to SPIEGEL sources, Steinmeier's staff has set plans in motion for an Obama appearance in the capital by the end of July. Both Steinmeier and his boss, Chancellor Angela Merkel, have expressed willingness to meet Obama. A member of Obama's campaign has already met with Berlin's mayor, Klaus Wowereit, and the Secret Service has reportedly started to investigate security questions surrounding a visit.

No need for ignorant sycophants on this thread. Go back to Ann's thread where she coddles you.

Kenneth, you confuse price with necessary supply. Good thing you are not a businessman...your doors would be shackled.

Exxon/Chevron/Conoco don't give a damn about lowering gas prices. They have conspired to jack them up as high as possible. All they want are the rights to drill in more and more wilderness areas and precious marina preserves. They are now sitting on 10,000 drilling permits they're not even using. Why? Because it's a corporate asset for them and they just sit on it, until oil reaches $200 a barrel. Which is their real goal. Also, they are intentionally not refining at capacity to keep the prices high. And they love war in the Middle East which keeps prices even higher. And they love the weak Bush dollar because that juices the prices even more.
