I See Where Hurricane Isaac Is Closing Down The Oil Rigs In The Gulf......
looks like higher gas prices will be coming to the pump in the next week. Any excuse will do for the oil companies to raise the prices. However - I'm thinking that there may be one bit of silver lining in this - that of President Obama opening up the oil reserves. Perhaps Isaac can give the President some cover to do this now as it won't look political - but as a result of an 'act of God'.
