    well i'm no obama supporter, but I watched his town hall meeting, and I imagine it did have a little something to do with it, but not a big issue. Think about it the media pretty much thinks he is a shoe in, so therefore what he says right now has alot of value

    Most of those folks (me i know) said that price of oil would go down towards the presidential election.. (it almost always does) Politics at work here... You can bet it will no doubt shoot WAY back up...

    Also Bank on Israel doing something, because Israel is not going to let Iran become a nuclear state... Israel will attack Iran and America will protect the oil ways....... You will see near $200 a barrel in oil then..

    i have to disagree with you on this truckerjo and i sually agree with what you say, you are right it has stuff to do with the elections no doubt, but its topped out at the 149 mark its not going back up that high not for a long long time if ever again, it will btoom out around 80-100 a barell by yrs end, next summer hit between 100-125 and then drop back down again, you watch

    In my opinion...

    Folks have been speculating on the increased demand due to the summer holidays and the Olympic games to their own detriment. This speculation drastically drove up prices, decreasing demand. And since they have hit us so hard in the pocket book, it will take a bit to recover, which will further decrease demand.

    Since very few tourists will have the money to travel to the Games, China's not going to see the tourist activity that they thought they would, which will decrease demand further.

    The projected highly active Atlantic hurricane has thus far not happened, keeping oil supplies steady and/or increasing. OPEC has increased output slightly.

    If you apply common laws of supply and demand, then the supply is outweighing the demand.. therefore driving prices down!

    Is that an intelligent enough statement? LOL!
