It looks like the Saudi's strategery for knocking US shale oil producers out of the market is in full bloom.

Not that the current administration would mind.

I hope gas prices stay low through the holidays. We don't own a car (living in a city with good public transit, you don't need one), but the cost of renting one to go visit my parents ain't cheap. It's so expensive to rent a car in Manhattan, that being willing to travel an hour by subway to a branch in one of the outer boroughs is saving me over $200 off a week rental. Yeesh. The rental is still almost $500. Sigh. So yeah, less expensive gas would be nice.

Nothing. My point was that his interests typically coincide with his environmentalist supporters, who wouldn't mind seeing US shale oil production decrease. Hence he -- and they -- wouldn't mind what the Saudis are doing. They might even welcome it.

When you consider the top 10 oil producing countries account for 63% of the world's production and other than the 17% representing the US and Canada's share, it is split up among Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, Iran, UAE, Venezuela, Kuwait and Iraq with some of the above named countries funding terror groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda. A reduction in price/profit has to be a net-good thing.

The country used 134.5 billion gallons of gasoline in 2013. A dollar a gallon in savings has to offset the jobs/money lost due to a reduction in domestic oil production. Especially when you consider how much U.S. money is going to the 8 countries mentioned above.

Despite the $3 billion payoff in U.S. taxpayer money given to these clowns by BO.

from what i've seen, domestic oil production has actually increased under obama. that while emissions have decreased.
we have to get a handle on things as far as pollution and the green house effect, we can only do so much to this planet...if it gets ruined, it's not like there's another planet nearby to go to!

Because of or in spite of is debatable.

Deep recessions will have that effect. That, and cheap natural gas.
