Raise the price on oil, natural gas, AND coal during an energy crisis? That is what Obama proposed a couple of days ago. Economists called it "The trifecta of bad ideas!" Jimmy Carter was by far the worst President of modern times, but even he is smart enough not to do what Obama has proposed. [...]
When Bush lifted the Presidential ban on offshore drilling on July 14th, oil and gas prices immediately fell as a direct result.
Bush asked Congress to follow suit by lifting the Congressional ban on offshore drilling which would lower gas prices even more.
Is the Democrats dislike for Bush greater than their desire to service the need [...]

Two of Obama’s bundlers are top executives at oil companies and are listed on [...]
caused this recession were in and all the unemployment and almost crashed the stock market. Why aren’t Bush and McCain and all their cronies in jail with Berny Madholf right now?
If he is so intent on doing something NOW, why doesn’t he just freeze the price of gas at a decent price???
Or put more of the existing rigs in TEXAS to work if he wants more oil????
Drilling for oil in our oceans, and trying to drill for oil in Alaska, is NOT the solution for [...]
Just want to see what others think on the issue.
About a year age Bush told the oil companies they could push oil prices to . per gallon before he left office and he would do nothing to stop them.
A few weeks ago they started trying to lift the ban on off shore drilling in the [...]
I am asking this question, because a lot of people say that Bush attacked Iraq for its oil. If it is true, then why is the price of gas going up?
Also, if America didn’t attack Iraq, how high do you think the price of oil/ gas would have gone?
Are you willing to pay a [...]
Better eat it before it is gone.
Bush just opened bristol bay, alaska to oil and gas drilling.
It is home to the world’s largest population of sockeye salmon.
Gas was about .25 per gallon when Bush took the Presidentail reins in his first term.
Last week, Big Oil’s first-quarter profit reports came rolling in with more bad news for consumers. On April 26, Exxon/Mobil reported that even though it produced less product than last year, it earned profits of 10 percent on unusually high [...]
Amazing how he based Bush for the price of oil and then Bush seemed to leave office when oil was at just above per barrel. Now Oil is at dollars per barrel. When is Obama going to help get the price of oil back down to around per barrel as Bush did?
I think Bush is trying to pull another WMD by trying to place as much blame as he can on the Democrates as he can for the high price of fuel because of the drilling restrictions there fighting for. Bushes bungled policies have had every thing to do with the value of our dollar, [...]
We don’t drill for oil in the artic, although the russians and swedes are starting to, and we don’t drill for oil in most of the gulf of mexico, its illegal for us to, although that won’t stop other countries for doing so. Should Bush have pushed to allow more drilling?
Julian, so you don’t [...]

Bush has tried to open up [...]
They most say to drill on leased land with all the DRY HOLES, don’t want us to drill where we have oil. So if they don’t approve the Ban Lift that Bush did the other day, and we don’t drill. Say Obama wins it, we have majority Democrats still [...]

Liberals keep claiming that the recent substantial rise in oil prices is normal for the holidays heading into the summer. How often does the price of oil nearly double for the holidays heading into the summer?
