Oil rises above $114 a barrel on Israel-Iran tensions

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/oilandgas/9472351/Oil-rises-above-114-a-barrel-on-Israel-Iran-tensions.html

OOOPSS!

Not like Netanyahu would want oil prices to slow the economy down in time for the election, right?
Not like Mitt did not do his best to indicate that if he was president, he would help Benji, right?
Not like Hillary or sadly, Obama, has done a lot to ease tension, right?
Not like Sheldon Adleson will not sitll try to put Mitt in office as a puppet of tel aviv?

I suspect the telegraph will be labeled as anti-Semitic shortly.

Last week it was a refinery fire in the U.S. Now it's increased Israel-Iran tension. As far as I'm concerned it is based on profit & politics.

What ever happened to Eco. 101.

I forgot, price is based on "what the market will bear".
