It'll be a long time (if ever) before the US is long our main oil trading partner, but with the way their dollar is going, we'd better be looking at other markets - ie. China.
Apparently Obama is opening up off-shore oil reserves to be tapped, which means the US will become more dependent on their own oil.

We should be looking at China/India for the future. Especially if they're the emerging economies.
