Well, Bush's daddy, will be upset that's for sure. As well as all his buddies and the rest of his family.
why would the feckless weenie libs be pissed? Only the Republicans and those who own them will be upset surely?

Probably nothing. Oil will rise back to about $60 a barrel before Spring, but gas prices won't go down significantly. Most gas stations are not privately owned by gas oil companies but, rather, franchises. These franchise owners must pay what the oil companies demand and after paying that and the associated - and numerous - taxes and overhead, try to squeeze out a profit of 1 cent per gallon.
Bush's approval rating is more closely tied to Iraq and Afganistan. The war could end tomorrow, however, and he would still be hated by liberals. Liberals hate conservatives, while conservatives tolerate liberals.

The price of oil is falling because the US is failing in Iraq and Iran is gaining influence. Iran has domestic economic problems and is dependent on oil revenues to solve them. Sunni Arab states are pumping more oil to drive the price down in order the weaken Iranian (Shia) influence in the middle east and to destabilize the Iranian government. Softness in the US economy makes this tactic possible at this time. Look for prices to rise again after Iran is sorted out. In short, falling oil prices are a consequence of Arab attempts to correct problems created by Bush's failed policies. There is no cause for anyone to gloat.

It is because Democrats are back in control of part of the Government. The Democrats aren't going to start rash ill conceived wars just because they WANT the oil to go up like the GOP does.
Oil doesn't control all of the US Government any longer. I don't think I have or ever would see Clinton, Biden or Edwards kiss the royal family of Saudi Arabia like I have BUSH THE TRAITOR!

Decreasing prices for natural resources such as oil is usually a sign that the demand is dropping and the economy is slowing down.
In the past, falls in oil prices have preceded economic recessions. And slowing economy may be the reason for the drop in oil prices now .

Bush has nothing to do with the price of oil, so his rating will not improve. It is the Iraq war Stupid that is effecting his rating.
