Bad move.  It isn't going to do much economically, and it will look like a desperate effort to be seen as doing something, largely because that is exactly what it is.  I haven't seen anything this boneheaded politically in Presidential politics since McCain suspended his campaign briefly to do absolutely nothing about the CDO crisis.

Spot oil prices are already back to where they were before this release, proving that this was a 60 million barrel PR stunt for desperate politicians around the world.  A release shortly after the Libyan Civil War started might have made some sense. But this was political pandering of the worst type since it won't even have any effects politically.
