Dont you think its a bit fortuitous that OPEC is deciding to cut oil production right at a moment when higher oil prices will have a definite effect on our presidential campaign? I have no facts whatever to back this up but I wonder if they are doing what they can to undermine Bush in the runup to November. If they are, they have a big stick to swing - higher oil prices will definitely have a negative effect on our economy and people's attitude toward the Administration. I know that there are "averrge voters" out there who think that the Iraq adventure is only worth it if they get a cheaper gallon of gas.
