LIAR. Bush has enormous control over energy prices. The main reason they are so high is that the gougers know Bush-cheney will let them charge anything they want. If Bush did a 180 and suddenly demanded regulation, windfall profits taxes and congressional hearings, the prices would plummet the same way they did when in 2002 congress stalled in the oil CEO's for a one day scolding without any follow-up or teeth to their threats. That was the Tom Delay congress, which was in bed with the same oil CEO's they pretended to grill. As we saw in the Bob Woodward book, the saudis also offered to bring down oil prices before the 2004 election if Bush wanted them to. He didn't want them to.
