Bush-Cheney's gang certainly can and do control energy prices. Especially when they are teamed with their buddies in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and when they had Enron gaming the markets for them. Bush is a flat-out liar when he says he can do nothing about energy prices. If he called in the Big Oil CEO's for a real grilling and threatened them with windfall profits taxes, gas prices would fall 50 cents in one week. But of course he'd never interfere with their rampant gouging. Because he was bought and paid for by those crooks a long time ago, and so was Cheney. GW Bush (2000) "I will jawbone OPEC to bring down oil prices" Prince Bandar "Bush" (2003) "We can bring down oil prices before the election if you want us to". (to GW in Oval Office as heard by Bob Woodward) Ted Stevens (2001) "Prices are still too damn low, we need them higher, higher!" Oil Executive I spoke to last year in Texas (after Bush-Cheney came into power) "We could charge anything we wanted to".
