For regular.

Can't want to see the marina prices next week.

Sheesh.

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


Read it and weep.

You seem to blame it all on the Republicans. Very narrow minded of you.

Bush has done NOTHING to jawbone big oil. Zip. Zilch.



And exactly what have the Democrats in Congress done?

The GOP controls congress, initiates hearings, gets legislation passed.



The Democrats cannot propose legislation?

When did this happen?

When the GOP took control and decided it could ignore the other party.
But there's a good chance the Dems will take one of the two houses of
congress this fall, and that will force cooperation on major issues.


So what legislation relating to cutting gasoline costs at the pump have been
presented by the Democrats in the past year........2 years............5
years.....7 years.......ever?

In case I missed some, what were the votes on those pieces of legislation
and who voted against them? After all we have to know about these damn
Republicans voting against legislation to keep gasoline pricing in check.

If I recall it is the legislative branch, not the administrative branch,
that proposes laws, regulations and standards. ;-0

He has done nothing to jawbone any other price either. Is it his job or
Congress's job? 1/3 of the increase is attributed to China buying lots of
oil. How about when the oil companies were making 2% profit and prices were
down. Do you think the POTUS should have told them to raise prices? Buy
energy stocks, if you think the prices are all based on profit.

Of course not. And he also thinks it is a grand idea to export US jobs.



More than the last few administrations?

Increased CAFE standards.
Tax breaks on Hummers and other giant gas guzzlers.

That'd be a good start.

Free Traders are responsible for the rise of China and the encroaching
demise of Americans' economies.
To hell with Globalism and Marxist China. Americans first!!!
