Kenneth, you're incorrect again... You state: The House of Bush is very close to the House of Saud. The House of Bush - George, Neil, Jeb, Dubya - could get those oil prices down but they want to wait until just before the election. Your implication is that the "House of Bush" somehow has a monopoly on influence, with respect to oil prices. Alas, the Saudi Prince (BIN SULTAN) has a different story: KING: The story that Mr. Woodward has about the promise to lower the oil prices by the election. Your government has denied has. WOODWARD: That's not my story. What I say in the book is that the Saudis, and maybe you looked at this section of the book, Ambassador, that the Saudis hoped to keep oil prices low during the period for -- before the election, because of its impact on the economy. That's what I say. BIN SULTAN: I think the way that Bob said it now is accurate. We hoped that the oil prices will stay low, because that's good for America's economy, but more important, it's good for our economy and the international economy, and this is not -- nothing unusual. President Clinton asked us to keep the prices down in the year 2000. In fact, I can go back to 1979, President Carter asked us to keep the prices down to avoid the malaise. So yes, it's in our interests and in America's interests to keep the prices down. cnn.com So are we now going to include the "House of Clinton" and the "House of Carter" to your list influence peddlers?
