Current thinking seems to be that oil will continue to reduce in price until about end Nov, then start the upward move again. OPEC cutting production too (thanks guys). Hedging opportunity??
I get the impression that the world will only find out what the true intentions in the US are once Obama actually gets elected. Then he has to deal with the financial adventures, the war, the price of gas etc etc. Good luck matey!!

OPEC
OPEC have targetted $100 a barrel. Economics 101 says they will cut supply until demand gives them the price they want. Having cut output by 1.5 million barrels a day last week, expect more cuts if the price does not increase soon.
As for Obama v McCain and the effect on the economy: It doesn't matter who gets in, they are inheriting a mess and neither is capable of fixing it.
Remember if you are voting for the lesser of two evils, you are still voting for evil!

my God..please..not another 4 years of this Bush rant of "freedom". The only thing the moron could ever say when anyone was against his policies was "they are against freedom". A world free of Bush will be a much better place..and please please dont give us 4 more years of McCain talking like Bush

...Obama gets 'elected'...? As of 5 minutes ago, the newest Gallup poll shows McCain is only 2 points behind. For the sake of the US economy, strategic security and freedom ...pray John wins.

Thread drift but here goes....
I think you'll find that most Americans would rather have a warrior who suffered 5 years as a POW, when he could have gone home after one year but volunteered to say behind. Someone with 25 years of senate experience bucking the "system", as opposed to a smooth talking socialist who's NEVER voted against his party, and who's sum experience is that he wrote two books about himself!
Oh yah....and keeps very "questionable" company!

I don't give a rats a$$ what either candidate did before they got into politics. I care more about how the next president will manage the myriad of issues they are dealt over the next four years. Which candidate will make responsible decisions in a mature and measured manner? Based on McCain's choice of VP, it is a little hard to respect his decision making abilities. The US currently owes over 10 trillion dollars to other countries (increasing by over 3 billion a day) and McCain wants to lower everyones taxes and keep spending billions of dollars on wars which will never be won. I am not a financial expert by any means, but I know that's not the way forward.
As for the questionable company statement, I really hope your joking. Are we talking about reality or dirty politics? Obama was 8 years old when Ayers was involved in an Anarchist group. The guy has since (30 years ago) regretted his actions and reformed himself into a model citizen . Questionable company is teaming up with a stupid neoconservative twit who thinks living in the state closest to Russia makes her an expert on foreign relations. It's obvious why McCain chose Palin but did he forget that he would actually have to work with her for four years if he won the election?
You weren't kidding about thread drift. We could debate this on here for weeks and frankly I'd rather do it in the bar as I hate typing. All I know is I can't imagine another 4 years of the same backwards policy from the US. Over the last 8 years I have watched the US go from being a respected, enviable nation, to being more unpopular than China. It's DEFINITELY time for change.

If only they could secure similar reductions in their fines for illegal activities. Shouldnt a "ZERO TOLERENCE POLICY" apply to knowingly participating in corporate mis doings? 
Yet human error attracts a zero tolerance policy? Nice....
