Nothing Bush can do about gas prices unless Americans are willing to open up certain areas for drilling and allow new refiineries to be built.
$100 is just the beginning. It won't go down with the next administration either.
I can see $150 with the next big hurricane.

I just love how everything bad is Bush's fault.

Well, he COULD release oil from the reserves and quit buying oil for the reserves... that MIGHT ease it up some... but other than that, it's not his fault... it's those guys who are speculating the price up.

The weakening dollar is helping that price. Bush controls how weak/strong the dollar is in the world. Not to mention Bush is doing some of that speculating himself, he owns shares in oil companies.

I guess we're going to see how much Hitlery or Osama Obama are going to make the price of gas drop. And if anybody believes they are, I have some beach front property for sale.
