    Mr Obama,
    you can help stop the madness. If you say "are are going to allow exploratory drilling prices will drop almost immediately.

    Gasoline was under $2 when you took office, not it is 3.89.

    Right now gas is hovering around $3.47 around here.

    I heard an analyst talking about gas prices on the news the other day. He said that the tipping point for the american consumer will be when gas reaches $5.00 per gallon.
    Hell, I'm about to my tipping point now. If it hits 5 bones a gallon, I'll have to look for different mode of transportation to work. I.E. a scooter.

    I feel for my friends up in the great white north and on the west coast. $3.47 isn't good but it's better than what you guys are having to pay.

    Has anyone seen this

    As you may know, Cruz Construction started a division in North Dakota just 6
    Months ago.

    They sent every Kenworth (9 trucks) we had here in Alaska to North Dakota
    And several drivers.

    They just bought two new Kenworth's to add to that fleet; one being a Tri
    Drive tractor and a new 65 ton lowboy to go with it.

    They also bought two new cranes (one crawler & one rubber tired) for that
    Division.

    Dave Cruz said they have moved more rigs in the last 6 months in ND than
    Cruz Construction moved in Alaska in the last 6 years.

    Williston is like a gold rush town; they moved one of our 40 man camps down
    There since there are no rooms available.

    Unemployment in ND is the lowest in the nation at 3.4 percent last I
    Checked.

    See anything in the national news about how the oil industry is fueling
    North Dakota 's economy?

    Here's an astonishing read. Important and verifiable information:

    About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of

    The Forbes Bros. Was the guest.

    The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I
    Would like a direct answer;

    How much oil does the U.S. Have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat,
    He said, "more than all the Middle East put together."

    The U. S.. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only
    Scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big.

    It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was

    In this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota ,

    Western South Dakota , and extreme eastern Montana .

    Check THIS out:

    The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay

    , and has the potential to

    Eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information
    Administration (EIA) estimates

    It at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable( 5
    Billion barrels), at $107 a barrel,

    We're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.

    "When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their
    Jaws hit the floor.

    They had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial
    Analyst.

    "This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in
    The past 56 years," reportsThe Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

    It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly
    Referred to as the 'Bakken.'

    It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada .

    For years, U. S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead end.

    Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades
    Ago.

    However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's
    Massive reserves,

    And we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is
    Light, sweet oil,

    Those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL !!!!!!

    That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years
    Straight.

    And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should -
    Because it's from 2006 !!!!!!

    U. S. Oil Discovery - Largest Reserve in the World

    Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006

    Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the
    Largest untapped oil reserve in the world.

    It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush
    Mandated its extraction.

    In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted.

    With this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore
    Drilling?

    They reported this stunning news:

    We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on
    Earth.

    Here are the official estimates:
    8 times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
    18 times as much oil as Iraq
    21 times as much oil as Kuwait
    22 times as much oil as Iran
    500 times as much oil as Yemen
    And it's all right here in the Western United States !!!!!!

    HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the
    Environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy. WHY?

    James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this
    Very compact area than the entire Middle East , more than 2 TRILLION barrels
    untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the
    world today, reports The Denver Post.

    Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price even with this find? Think again!
    It's all about the competitive marketplace, it has to.

    Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?

    Got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it, do this:

    Pass this along.

    I paid 4.10 for ethanol free fuel. I haven't research this but I'm wondering if oil companies have a meeting with Obama to strike a deal saying, if you let us fluctuate gas prices to meet a certain quota for the next 4 years, we will give you X percent to fund your campaign for re election. I also haven't researched this either but I heard from a fueling station nancy pelosis husband owns the biggest ethanol plant in America. if so that would make sense
