I don't know Hakim, I think independent of Hillary or Obama, we need to re-evaluate our relationship with the Shieks, particularly Saudi Arabia. The Bush family relationship to the house of Saud hasn't exactly worked out for us. I know the US has had a relationship going back to FDR and Aramco, but I don't think we really understood the relationship between the Saudis and Wahabism. Most People still don't. Maybe we can work with the UAE or Qatar, maybe not. Lots of people fault Jimmy Carter for being a micro-manager of a president, but he was dead on about energy independence.
