remember the tiny campaign issue about Obama being willing to sit down in discussions with 'terrorist' leaders ? As in Iran's president Alimenijad ? Well, this position reduces the 'risk premium' included in the worldwide oil price because it reduces the probability of new / ongoing Middle East conflicts involving the US military. Of course, as a secondary effect, new conflicts in the Middle East not involving the US militarym but which could very well be even more disruptive to future Iranian oil supplies are looming more likely !How does the president/presidential campaign directly affect gas prices? Am I missing something?
