Strategic Oil Reserves

Monday, September 12, 2005

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, President Bush is tapping the strategic oil reserve to help petroleum refiners. What do you think?

Morton Karnes,
Butcher
"It's a compassionate gesture in a time of natural disaster, but I’m warning you: One of these days, Bush's big heart is going to get him in trouble."

Alison Dumont,
Librarian
"I'm against it. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve was created way back in 1973, during that passing fad of 'forward thinking.'"

Brian Arsenault,
Claims Adjuster
"The oil industry can't rely on soaring prices and record profits to weather this meteorological inconvenience. They need a hand up."
