4/18 Saudis want Kerry to win, raise oil prices.. hmm. this
means I definately will vote for Bush
\_ I need first learn spelling and gramar also
\_ Bush no care grammer, Bush everyday man
\_ Ironic since Republicans were pissed recently about foreigners
rooting for Kerry and that only Americans should decide our
President.
\_ Also ironic since an article on CNN that directly contradicts this
baseless assertion keeps getting censored:
http://money.cnn.com/2004/04/19/news/international/election_saudi
\_ CNN has a new article on the front page where the
Administration refutes this.
\_ And we all know how this Administration ALWAYS tells the
truth.
\_ Bush wants to keep oil prices down to keep the economy
humming, exerts pressure on Saudi Arabia. Election
effects are a side effect; Saudis fall in line to
Bush's strong leadership. Saudi rep misspeaks when he
says the primary purpose is the election.
\_ Keep towing that line!
\_ Apparently 51% +/- 4% of Americans do, and if
this trend holds, Bush will be your President
for 2004-2008.
\_ If the upcoming election for president
were held today, for whom would you
vote?
John Kerry (D) 49%
George W. Bush (R) 45%
Undecided 6%

\_ Check http://cnn.com and http://washingtonpost.com for
new data, boy-o
\_ that's dated 4/19.
\_ I am surprised to see that. Anyway,
so are the CNN/USA Today/Gallup and
the Washington Post polls, and
they're much more well known. The
other one I found on some strange
Canadian site via google.
\_ Looks pretty even to me:
http://www.pollingreport.com
\_ That's because the page is
showing the Zogby data, which
is the only major one that
shows Kerry ahead, and is
also current to 1 week.
Even so, CNN/USA Today/Gallup
and Wash Post > Zogby
http://www.pollingreport.com/wh04gen.htm
\_ What happened to "I predict that Bush will
win California and the presidency in a
landslide" of three months ago? How's that
prediction working out for you?
\_ It's "toeing the line".
\_ So why not do it 6 months ago? a year ago?

| money.cnn.com/2004/04/19/news/international/election_saudi -> money.cnn.com/2004/04/19/news/international/election_saudi/ Record-high gas prices have become an issue in the presidential race between Bush and the presumptive Democratic nominee, Sen. Kerry has criticized Bush for not doing more to bring high prices under control, while the Bush campaign has run ads noting that Kerry once supported a 50-cent per gallon increase in the federal gasoline tax, which would have meant even higher prices. Amid concerns that plans by OPEC to cut oil production could raise prices even further, Prince Bandar went to the White House April 1 to meet with National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and to deliver a message to Bush from Crown Prince Abdullah, the de facto Saudi ruler. Afterward, he told reporters that Saudi Arabia is committed to heading off any shortages in the world energy market. We will not allow shortages in the market because that will hurt the world economy, he said. He also said that the president and the crown prince have been in touch on this subject for a while now. Both leaders feel strongly that higher energy prices have a negative impact on the world economy and on the recovery of the world economy, Prince Bandar said. We will not allow shortage of the markets of oil in the market to increase the prices. The ambassador said Saudi Arabia would like to see the price of oil, which now tops $33 a barrel, to be between $22 and $28 a barrel. OPEC has said it plans to cut production by as much as 1 million barrels per day in April, which would further increase prices. However, Saudi Arabia, as OPECs most influential member and largest producer, could thwart those plans. |

Repeated failures occured because various members of OPEC would produce beyond their quotas. Saudi Arabia acted as the swing producer cutting its production to stem the free falling prices. In August of 1985 they tired of this role and linked their oil prices to the spot market and in early 1986 increased production from 2 MMBPD to 5 MMBPD. The Iranian revolution resulted in the loss of 2 to 25 million barrels of oil per day between November of 1978 and June of 1979. In 1980 Iraqs crude oil production fell 27MMBPD and Irans production by 600,000 barrels per day during the Iran/Iraq War. The combination of these two events resulted in crude oil prices more than doubling from $14 in 1978 to $35 per barrel in 1981. |
