As quickly as the price of oil has plummeted, I wonder how quickly it will rebound, with this Obama energy "policy" (ie., returning us to dependence on foreign sources, and treating our own as off limits)? I reckon voters are going to get more "change" in the next six months than many of them reckoned or counted on.

Will it? With so little known about Obama's real plans, that's anyone's guess.
