Oil falls on weak China manufacturing

AP -- BANGKOK (AP) -- Oil prices fell Monday after weaker-than-expected manufacturing data from China intensified concerns about the global economy.

And our president will not "reign in speculators", is just another lie of many this con man has told us he would do to help us over the past four years. I heard him twice on national TV THIS YEAR, "I call on Congress to reign in speculators". haha. sure...whatever... Obama, can you ever tell your people something truthful or just SHUT UP if you can't tell us the truth.

Settjec Champion Author Little Rock Posts:2,125 Points:712,670 Joined:May 2010	Message Posted: Sep 3, 2012 3:44:57 PM Ignore Settjec Report Abuse It has been brought to my attention that under the Bush admin. that crude went up to $140.00 a barrel. This is very true, back in summer of 2008 it did go up to that. However what people that are stating on here that OBUMMER had NOTHING to do with it, is very much brain dead. IT SURELY WAS NOT BUSH THAT BOWED TO SAUDI ARABIA IN APRIL OF 2009.... JUST 4 MONTHS AFTER TAKING OFFICE!!!! Hmmmmm I WONDER WHICH PRES. DID???? [Edited by: Settjec at 9/3/2012 3:45:42 PM EST]
