So, Bush wants to be "asked" by refineries to open oil reserves?

But he won't do it until he's asked.

2. Exxon is making $2.4 Billion 'Profit' a week now .. dont hold your breath

there is no shortage, it is just profiteering..

it is said that about 20% of the cost of gas is Futures and hedge funds profiteering on the stock market.

3. This is a win win for Bush and his oil friends

He releases oil that the US govt brought at $45 per barrel and in the future replaces it with oil at $70+ per barrel

They won on the $45 and will win on the $70+

4. If and when he does I doubt it will have any effect on the price we pay.

6. That makes it 100% clear who's really running the country.

Bush awaits the commands of his corporate masters.

7. Funny. I thought he campaigned on "Opening the Taps?"

Wasn't he going to Open the Taps? Wasn't he going to get his ME buddies to Open the Taps? Relieve the American People by Opening the Taps of the US reserve?

All I hear is the playing of Taps. :(

8. The finest minds of the 1890's.

Citizens' requests for mean nothing. Only oil barons and other filthy-rich heads of industry can make sound decisions.
