NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- President Bush, saying he was unaware of
predictions of $4-a-gallon gasoline in the coming months, told reporters
Thursday that the best way to help Americans fend off high prices is for
Congress to make his first-term tax cuts permanent.

Analysts have said that gasoline could reach $4 a gallon by this spring,
due to strong demand and a change in formulation, among other reasons.

When taking the question about the $4 milestone, Bush told the reporter,
*"That's interesting. I hadn't heard that."*


Strong demand. What a crock of ****. Last spring, it was "on fears of
renewed violence in Baghdad". Prices are effected by events in a country
from which we get pretty much zero oil?


Can somebody please explain to me why high oil prices is perceived as a
unique problem to the USA with Bush at the center of the cause?

It's a unique problem here because some of the ME generation have a hard
time seeing what's beyond their comfort zone. And why not blame Bush.? It
seems like it's the popular thing to do. I'm sure the left wing-nuts have a
different take on it.
