Is this going to be the next political kick in the butt for Bush?


I dunno, Harry. i really don't think Bush has much to do with it.

I rememebr when Gas at the pumps jumped from $.35 to $.74 per gallon
over night when Jimmy Carter was in office.


74 cents a gallon? Wow!


When considering inflation, the 1976 USD was worth $.27 to a 2006 USD.

A $.39 increase/gallon in 1976 in today's USD's converts to a $1.44
increase.

And you were saying?
