his own country is of no concern to him. i bet if he could, he'd probably try to still run the US from another country just to avoid all the ridicule.

One thing he doesn't control Gas prices while he's doing the Job as president that Al Gore was elected to do and also if they went down that would make his wallet get thinner and the man don't want that. Third the oil companys have a sort of monopoly on it. What are Citizens gonna do they can't stop the need for gas and can't just go across the street to a store that sales cheaper than the one there at. Lastly the high gas prices helps to keep people from recognizing the rise in other thing like groceries and meds and just simple thing like toilet paper and ink pens

human beings in basic terms won't be able to respond to the question being requested, can they? besides the following is my take: i do not inevitably believe Bush is causing it, yet he's genuinely no longer helping. because of his singular concentration on Iraq and Saddam in certain, he has missed each and every thing else. on the starting up of his adminstration, he brushed off the communicate of any conservation of gas utilization. Now at the same time as the challenge includes bear, he's all about conservation. Invading Iraq is the most mistake concerning to overseas affairs an US president can ever made. Now Iraq is a hopeless mess. The hostilities between Shi'tes and Sunnis are by no skill extra intense. middle East is on the threshold of all out interior of sight warfare at the same time as Bush remains refusing all out diplomatic efforts ( with concerning to Iran, guess what, US had to help Iran to construct nuclear flowers a pair many years back, besides the indisputable fact that it did not pan out due of lack of political will, the ironies in basic terms by no skill ends). Bush would no longer be causing oil prices to run intense, yet all of what he does look to make the challenge worse. The gas value will proceed to bypass intense till this is intense sufficient for human beings to regulate their utilizing conduct. like it replaced into reported, this is all about furnish and insist.

Will for one, Iraq's oil is going to Asia. Two, President Bush is not an oil stock trader. On top of that Iraq and America's gas prices are not interconnected that much.

You sure don't get it!! If anybody was to do anything about the high gas prices it would be the democratic Congress who promised they wouldn't let this happen. But in reality it isn't something the goverment can't control really. Oil is a commodity, an international commodity run by the stock market. So don't be blaming Bush.

Prices are so heavily determined by consumption that I have to ask...what do you drive? I hear so many people complain about the gas prices, but they're driving vans, pickup trucks and SUVs. I'd like to see lower gas prices, too--but I drive a compact car, I don't commute as the sole occupant of a pickup truck (worse, with an empty bed and the tailgate on) or of a van.

I think this is his own personal views. Even the Democratic part of congress is not in favor of president Bush ideas of keeping and sending troops to Iraq. Those countries are the number one supplies of oil to us. As long we have troops in that area we will see the gas prices go up. I work as part time and I see half of my pay check go to gas. At the end we are who suffers the consequences of this conflict with Iraq.

Because he isn't the owner of these gas companies. If he could change that then why stop there....why don't he change the price of everything. These companies are foreign based companies that sets the trend of the prices. The only thing he really can do is approve of the drilling in alaska for oil and not have it shipped from over seas. Thats why it cost so much.

You don't get it, all right - and I'm not gonna waste MY time distinguishing for you the difference between a person, the Commander-in-Chief, and a commercial arena, aka The Marketplace.
You see, Binky, one is a person and the other is everyone in the world. You seem to think that one person, the President of the United States, can alter the behavior of the other 6.5 billion people on the planet so that it reduces the price of a commodity in one country, the United States. Pretty absurd when ya think about it, huh?
Like I said - I'm not gonna waste MY time on ya!

I'm still waiting for the oil his opponents kept claiming he was going to steal! You'd think that if that were true, and he was concerned about his image, and he did all the bad things they think he did, he would have:
1) gotten us oil so he looked good
2) planted some serious WMDs in Iraq
My party promised to lower gas prices. They haven't. I'm getting tired of the attempts by both parties to undermine each other at the expense of this country.
Congress is doing it's best. The President is doing his best. Aren't you tired of the seditious second-guessing, yet?

If you think the gas prices are high now, what do you think they will do if Bush pulls the troops out of Iraq?
