Please provide proof that Bush is responsible for the current oil
prices.

If he owns stock in US Oil, more power to him. Is he not allowed to do
so?

Bush is reaping in $$ he is a major stock holder in the oil companies,
so he is happy to see the price go up. Why do you think he hasnt put
more interest in alternative fuel ? It would cut down on his profits .

That's:

Bad for Bush
Bad for the US
Bad for boating. :-(

I agree.

And what exactly did Bush have to do with this?

Here is just ONE link that tells about Bush and his oil companies

So it all traces back to Kyoto?

This is the best you have to offer on how Bush is responsible for current
oil prices?

LOL!

It's bad for Bush because the public will develop an unfavorable opinon
of any politician leading the country when energy prices
go way up. While Bush isn't going to stand for reelection in 2008
(unless somebody amends the Constitution to declare him "Emperor"), the
Repubs will be counting on him to stump for
RW candidates in the mid-terms next year. I imagine that many Repubs
are nervous about eroding public confidence in GWB.

It's bad for the US because increased energy prices stimulate
inflation, usually followed by restrictive monetary policy, increased
government deficits, etc.

It's bad for boating for obvious reasons. I spoke to a broker friend
yesterday who reported he literally can't (almost) give away a nice
boat with twin 454's. "People ask me how much gas it burns, I tell them
about 50 gallons an hour, they start multiplying by $3 a gallon and
they're gone, gone, gone." Family budgets stretched farther than ever
to purchase gasoline for family cars and to pay for home heating oil
have fewer "left over" dollars for something expendable- llike a boat.

Hell, Chuck, at $1.50 a gallon twin 454's would consume a healthy income!

Bush is a proponent of Ethanol, which is home grown from corn. I think he is
pushing for alternatives. Oil is up because Chinese factories are running
generators powered by diesel to run them, since the power grid in China
sucks. You can thank those shopping trips to walmart for the oil prices
being up.

Currently Chinese demand is running oil and steel prices out of control.

Why do you think he hasnt put more interest
in alternative fuel ? It would cut down on his profits .

Ed, when has any president put interest in alternative fuel?

China now buys 40% of the world oil market. Not counting scrap and raw
materials to be turned into goods to come back to us in export sales.

as far as natural recourses go, China is holding the bag, andis
squeezing everybody else's.

Ed,
Remember 1973 and what happened with oil and gas prices? Has any Prez, dem
or rep, done anything since then to cure the problem?
Know why?
Because without an outlet to sell oil, about $90 billion, give or take,
arabs would have nothing. Think terrorism is bad now?
In all reality, a whole lot of nations would be bankrupt and the whole
world would soon be up the old creek without a paddle (boating related
reply).

Bush has done absolutely nothing to try to ease petrol prices. He doesn't
even engage in jawboning the multinationals that control oil refining and
distribution. That's because his family is neck-deep in the petrol
business, and the higher prices go, the more his family makes.

He's pushing more nuclear power plants. It's criminal that we have so few
nuclear power plants.

Harry, what oil stocks does Bush own. I must not have used the right key
words as I can't find any.

It is Good for the United States.

Actually Jimmy Carter did, he was the one that started the interest in
alternative fuel. Seems like the Republicans who is for the Oil companies
doesnt want to. Just my opinion of course ;o)

Why do you think the united states hasnt built any new or additional
refineries in the last 30 years ? The reason we are short on gas, is the
fact that we do not have the ability to produce fuel.
