Wait for it....With the threat of $4-a-gallon gas once again hanging over the economy -- and over President Obama's re-election campaign -- the White House on Friday left the door open to tapping the country's oil reserve to ease prices.
"A release of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is an option that's on the table," Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters.
So the White House wants to flood the market with Gas, even though the supply already is plenty such that prices will be artificially lower. Essentially subsidizing gas.
