Koch brothers, banks and many GOP backers are oil speculators behind rising gas prices...

According to the Young Turks last night. The Coke brothers, banks and many GOP backers are oil speculators behind rising gas prices... If this is so, then why doesn't Obama slam them for this.. According to the Young Turks and others the reason gas prices are so high is because of these oil speculators.

3. haha thanks

I don't know of these people...lol

2. Probably because there's no straight line from speculation in general,

and certainly from a particular speculator, to increasing gas prices and the mechanisms for increasing pump prices well hidden, imo.

4. This is politics

You dont need a direct link all you need to do is run an add linking Koch brothers + GOP candidate = High gas prices.. Its a shade of grey as much of politics are.

5. Yes, but President Obama doesn't like to obfuscate,

and that's one of the things many of us like about him.

6. haha

I guess we can dream of such a president.. besides that's what PAc's are for oops didn't he obfuscate on that?

[elleng]

8. No,

he recognized he/we might be faced with insurmountable odds, money-wise, and did what he had to do. He didn't hide what he was doing, he was/is placing himself on a more level playing field.

9. He needs your money. You, too, can be a PAC contributor. Have you sent him any? Or enough?

7. I preferred it when you referred to them as the 'Coke' brothers.

10. Obama shouldn't

but the PACS should. They could even say that Koch owns the oil and are holding it back from the market. Creating shortages at gas stations which create demand and higher prices.

11. No obfuscating

I mean we have more gas than we need according to Obama and others, the demand actually isn't there either..
