i am not a bush fan, but i am always curious that the high oil prices get pinned to him. I agree he has some influence, but even if gore were president and we did not invade iraq, i think oil/gas prices would be on the up and up. China is a big factor here, they are sucking up most of the oil usage increase. with more support of alternate fuels, gas prices may be 10-20 cents cheaper, but not in the $1.50 range that everyone is expecting...
