"Now she has lost it ,Just how does she propose to do that ?"
Clinton's attacks on oil prices as artificially inflated, Enron-style, keep escalating, and today she appeared to threaten to break up the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
"We’re going to go right at OPEC," she said. "They can no longer be a cartel, a monopoly that get together once every couple of months in some conference room in some plush place in the world, they decide how much oil they’re going to produce and what price they’re going to put it at," she told a crod at a firehouse in Merrillville, IN.
"That’s not a market. That’s a monopoly," she said, saying she'd use anti-trust law and the World Trade Organization to take on OPEC.
Clinton has cast herself as a warrior for working people against the oil industry and malicious "speculators," and made that -- along with her push for a gas tax holiday -- central to her closing message in Indiana.
It's a potent message, like the attack on "Wall Street money brokers," with deep roots in American politics. It' It's also very hard to figure out what exactly she means by the threat to break OPEC.

I tried hitting your plus button twice in a row over that one undies. The system wouldn't let me.
Just what army is she going to use to break up OPEC, and how will she do it, and how would they respond?
Most of them have enough money already.
She is supposed to be smart?

She really is a moonbat ain't she?

Yeah, but that's not a problem when you're speaking to other moonbats.

I call that large talk for someone who can't even keep her own husband in line.

So, what does she plan to do, start a "War for Oil"? :whatever:

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! Okay, now let me clean my monitor and keyboard. I just spit coffee everywhere.
Okay, I'm no financial wizard but, isn't the price of oil tied to the dollar? And wouldn't the Fed slashing interest rates have some effect?
