Bush-Cheney have everything to do with $4 gas. Everything. They are much more loyal to Exxon and OPEC than they are to anyone else. Since Enron that is. And of course Halliburton. They don';t give a damn about any of us. Just those big oil and other corporate interests (like war profiteering) which butter their bread. Bush-Cheney are not to be trusted on any level. They have totally betrayed this country. $4 gasoline, or better yet $5 gasoline, was their secret plan since day one.

"What does Bush have to do with 4.00 gas?" It's what he's not doing that will get us to that price in such a short time. Has he done anything to slow the price increase...oh yes, he did visit his best buddy in Saudi Arabia and came home empty handed. He has also done nothing to encourage or require conservation except give the auto companies extended time to reach reduced mileage requirement from what they were supposed to be. Has he done anything to squeeze the oil companies into holding the line....remember those obscene profits???? How about a gas guzzler tax? How about keeping his ass in Washington instead of spending every other weekend in Texas burning thousands of gallons of fuel in the process. Now how about doing a little quantifying of the amount of oil you expect to get from additional drilling and tell me whether our domestic production would turn upward.... Ask JLA for some help, he can give you an LOL and a rec.

and your name backwards is LLIB!....with 2 L's...but you ain't on the side of the rest of the world you know, the rest of us? Members of Congress Milk War Investments April 3, 2008 Members of the U.S.Congress have as much as $196 million (€126.2 million) collectively invested in companies doing business with the Defense Department, earning millions since the start of the Iraq war, according to a new study by a nonpartisan research group. The review of lawmakers' 2006 financial disclosure statements, by the Washington-based Center for Responsive Politics, suggests that members' holdings could pose a conflict of interest as they decide the fate of Iraq war spending. Several members who earned the most from defense contractors have plum committee or leadership assignments, including Democratic Sen. John Kerry, independent Sen. Joseph Lieberman and House Republican Whip Roy Blunt. Source: iht.com
