It's A Bit Cool Here In Southern California -- December 30, 2014

A reader sent me a link to an NPR interview with POTUS on the collapse of oil prices and its effect on Russia. Tell me if this is not simply bizarre. President Obama implies he was singularly responsible for the collapse in oil prices for the purpose of destroying Russia's economy.

The linked article comes from Russian Times; it makes me wonder to what extent the NPR "interview" was paraphrased to fit the Russian story line.

If accurate, it sounds like President Obama is taking credit again for something he had nothing to do with. It would not be the first time. This is so bizarre unless one understands the nature of the narcissistic mind. Or the entire article is fabricated by Russian Times.

Specifically what could President Obama do to cause the collapse of world oil prices? Harold Hamm isn't listening to Obama; Harold Hamm will pump as much oil as he wants. The US shale program is producing a tsunami of oil -- this has nothing to do with Obama.

The Saudis are no friends of the Obama; I doubt if Saudi Arabia coordinated with Obama at the last OPEC meeting. And Saudi did nothing but maintain current production.

I think Obama, in that interview, is blowing smoke. Again, exactly what did he do to increase the supply of global oil and push down global demand?
