From what I can tell I think the middle east oil producers are starting to relize they woke a sleeping giant and it is going to hurt them in the long run. I wouldn't be suprised to see prices start falling around election time and also see our country moving away from middle east oil and into home produced oil.
On a side note we are one of the worlds leading oil producers but it cost so much to to buy our own oil because of the taxes that most of it is sold to other countries. We need to change that and build alot of new high tech refineries to deal with the heavy dark crude that we have in most of our country.
