And then there are Bush and Cheney's ties to the oil, gas and electric industries. Excerpt from Price of Gasoline May Pose Problem for White House By RICHARD L. BERKE From The New York Times May 10, 2001 "For Mr. Bush, the issue is particularly perilous. He is trying to defuse a political time bomb while not threatening the oil industry, which once employed both him and his vice president and was a huge source of donations to his campaign. Even as the president scrambled to blame the Clinton administration for the energy woes, House Democrats held a news conference today to upbraid Mr. Bush as having a "do- nothing response" because he is captive to the industry. "Politically, Bush has got an absolute nightmare," said Gov. William J. Janklow of South Dakota, a Republican who is close to Mr. Bush. "People are not even discussing taxes right now.

He's been president for only 100 and some days."
