1. No, but he might *rein* it in.

6. "Reign in" used correctly

"Better to reign in hell than serve in heav'n." (John Milton, "Paradise Lost")

President Obama would accomplish quite a feat if he managed to "reign in big oil."

"Rein in" used correctly:

"The carriage stopped as soon as the driver could rein in his horses, and the same voice called to me by my name." ("A Tale Of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens)

I love the English language! And now for a few choice words regarding "the rain in Spain."

8. 'will he whip their sorry asses?' is really the question

stealing from America's earth resources, charging an insane premium to do it, and then chasing further tax benefits and giveaways from the government of the people of America is sign that this 'industry' is as much a 'porn industry' as the wall street banking industry

'f*cking america' is porn, especially when we see it on our TV's during the news every night
