The trend is up but the $150/barrel this Summer was a bubble. Hyperbolic moves are almost always pure speculation...some idiot Wisc. farmer or another going for the kill only to get plastered...

A dangerous threesome"

Standing in between former eBAY CEO Meg Whitman and Mitt Romney, John McCain this morning in Ohio sought to drive a sharp economic contrast with a warning about one-party rule in Washington and new language about how he's different than President Bush:

This election comes down to how you want your hard earned money spent. Do you want to keep it and invest it in your future, or have it taken by the most liberal person to ever run for the Presidency and the Democratic leaders who have been running congress for the past two years -- Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid? This is a dangerous threesome. They believe that $1 trillion of rescue financing is not enough and have already proposed another $300 billion spending spree they are calling a stimulus plan. I would rather give the great American middle class additional tax cuts and let you keep that money and invest it in your future.

McCain also sought to walk the fine line of differentiating himself with the president while also using traditional GOP attacks on Obama.

"We both disagree with President Bush on economic policy," said McCain. "The difference is that he thinks taxes have been too low, and I think that spending has been too high."

At the start of Bush's term, McCain disagreed with Bush on both counts. He railed against spending and opposed the president's first tax cuts.
