Wall Street traders are speculators by occupation and so they will react to the WH Admin energy policies as a factor in what they do or do not do

Presidents all seem to take credit for positive outcomes and claim to have no control over those negative aspects.

Obama has stifled fossil fuel exploration and those policies will show up but later down the road.
