Oil Speculators and Gas Price Task Force

I heard a clip of Obama talking about gas prices yesterday and I guess he's organizing a task force to look at oil price speculators who could be involved with the crazy high prices. Really? Come on. I listened to this and was like - jeez - am I a college freshman or something? Is the President of the United States really trying to suggest our higher gas prices are the result of some greedy cabal of oil speculators and not unrest in the Middle East combined with the myriad of other, unknowable, and uncontrollable factors of price? Jeez.
