It is rare, but we do agree once in while!

I've stayed out of this discussion thus far, but I thought that Obama spoke up because Wright came out with even more inflammatory rhetoric. I may very well be mistaken as I have not been keeping up on things lately.

The feel good politically expedient thing to say (and something I believe he'd do as well) only makes the problem worse.
Who is going to be taxed? Exxon, et. al. don't sell barrels of oil, they buy them. Does Obama plan on taxing the Saudi's? Good luck with THAT! There are a few, very small domestic oil sellers that might impacted by this, but since they really can't make much money unless oil sells in this range, then yeah, it is stupid election time politicking.
