Sen. Clinton Calls for WTO Action Against OPEC
Vow comes a day after Bill Clinton said market will prevent return of cheap oil

A day after her husband told a Carmel audience they "should probably vote against" any candidate who says he can bring back cheap oil, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is promising to bring oil prices down, and prices at the gas pump with them.

Senator Clinton contends there's evidence energy traders are manipulating the market. She says the Federal Trade Commission isn't doing enough to investigate possible violations. In a stop at an Indianapolis veneer plant, she maintained a crackdown could slash oil costs by 20 dollars a barrel.

And Clinton says the U-S should use the World Trade Organization to force OPEC to stop restricting production. Nine of the 13 OPEC nations are members of the WTO.

2. Hillary will do anything to get elected. It was obvious today.

Just *snap* your fingers, right Hillary?

3. Lower prices and cheap are not necessarily the same thing

Cutting 20 dollars a barrel does not make 110.00+ oil cheap

She appears to be correct that energy traders are manipulating the market.
That has been covered by several Japanese, Korean and Australian news and business organizations.

4. Open the spigots, where've I heard that before

Maybe if she stopped threatening war, and talk about fixing the plummeting dollar, we'd get somewhere.
