It appears that oil speculators have turned the American people into their economic chattel to financially rape in full view of the world. With the US economy teetering on a meltdown, someone needs to justify how our leadership is permitting 100 dollar per barrel oil that allows some folks to make billions of dollars while many American citizens are losing their jobs and homes in the current economic crisis.

Hopefully, in the 2008 Ohio Democratic Party Presidential debate one of the questions will challenge Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to speak to how the new American President can stop demonstrating political impotency on the world stage by their plan offering a short-term effort to wipe out the current economic bondage tax that overpriced oil de facto has legitimated.  

Will the Ohio questioners have the guts to ask a tough question about stemming the economic bloodletting that overpriced oil has spawn or will the Ohio debate be merely a rehashing of questions to which the American people already know the candidates positions?

Will, the Republican Party Presidential standard-bearer, Senator John Mc Cain also offer his plan to address overpriced oil in the short term or will he get to show the American people that he is not sensitive to their severe economic pain by ignoring the issue of economic bondage perpetrated by the oil speculators?  Surely, Senator Mc Cain will have the guts to offer his position on destabilizing overpriced oil’s gripe on the US economy.
