As much as you want that to be true Heald it isn't. You are forgetting a variety of factors, the weakened dollar due to the housing slump which has cost comadaties like Gold and Oil to be driven higher as people flock to it, the sizeable increase in demand from China and India in the last few years, and most of all the Democrats refusal to build new refineries, thus driving prices higher when one is taken down.

Saying it is Bush's fault is only burying your head in the sand and trying to look for the easiest person to blame. Something way too many people have done these past few years.
