That's OK because the magic wand will clear up everything soon and the price per barrel will be back down to $30 any day now.

Besides, Dubya says it's no problem so it will be OK. We know that we can trust his word when he says he's going to "jaw bone" his friends in the oil producing countries. Aren't we lucky?
