A freeper told me today that oil shot up over night because..

[Roon]

Obama was nominated. I am telling you,the republicans are really freaking out.

1. Wow, that's quite a time lag.

I thought the markets reacted faster than that...

better throw out all the theories about "perfect information" and capitalism... they must really have it all wrong.

( and I bet the news of his nomination caused unemployment to rise 1/2 of 1 percent too!)

:sarcasm:

2. Isreal threatened Iran

and the jobless rate jumped. Obama had nothing to do with it.

[Toucano]

3. The freeper is right!

Oil hogs realize their days at the trough are numbered so they're tying to pig out before the gravy train ride comes to an end.

They know Obama will win and won't let them be hogs any longer.

4. From OyxRush's lips to his ears.

These morans never cease to amaze.

[driver8]

5. They are absolute fucking idiots.

Everything is someone else's fault but theirs and the people that they have put into office.

It amazes me just how stupid these people can be.

[BlueManDude]

6. no - it was because of the Clenis.

[Fleshdancer]

7. Oooh, Obama has surpassed clenis level powers!

Continental Airlines cut 3K jobs? Obama's fault.

House foreclosures on the rise? Obama's fault.

Gas prices too high? Obama's fault.

Spike in oil today? Obama's fault.

Hang nails, bad hair days, dry skin, PMS, migraines...all Obama's fault.

:eyes:

8. So why did it go up under Bush?

[Jack Rabbit]

9. He would have "made" that connection regardless of who the Democrats nominate

Why doesn't he just say that oil went up because the Democrats chose their candidate? That's what he really "thinks".
