It's not just the president! It's the vice president, the secretary of state, and 35 other top-level officials in the administration. Could that be just a coincidence?
There isn't really any shortage of oil in the world today. Before our invasion of Iraq, Iraq wasn't exporting any considerable quantity of oil, so not being able to get it out of there doesn't mean there's any less available than before. The price of oil has risen based on instability in the region. In other words, the idea that there -might- someday soon be a shortage makes the price go up -now-.
This is because the price of oil is not market-based. For all the Republicans say they believe in the free market, the 'magic of the market', they really believe in the world's oil supply being controlled by as few people as possible, so the price can be kept artificially high.
In fact there's a theory that this was the purpose of the -first- Gulf War--only to keep the oil of Iraq off the world market to maintain higher prices.
How can people be so dumb?

If you remember, gas prices went up during Clinton. Up almost a dollar..for no reason except some make believe oil shortage. Katrina and Rita came along and oil companies said shortage and prices went up again, and kept going up even when they got their refineries back online. It has nothing to do with Bush, or his daddy. The Haliburton thing....maybe. The Bush's own plenty of oil wells in Texas, but won't open them up because they know the oil will leave the country because of idiotic bureaucratic policies. We need to drill our own oil, tell the Saudi's to go shove it, and get rid of government restrictions on finding new power sources.

No,it is incidental because what we are dealing with is a realignment of the nations,not simply oil-grabbing.We are nearing a Fascist New World Order and I pity anyone that is "selected" by the illuminati to sit in the oval office.How anyone could want a nowhere man like Obama or a Marxist like Hillary is beyond me.Ron Paul is the only patriotic choice.But fear not,he will never be allowed to be president.

I don't know, seeing as how I am no expert on oil or the oil business. How many dems are heavily invested in oil? Bet you don't know. Seems that your question assumes an awful lot considering you give no sources or new information. The President, and his family are in the oil business, and surely to make money, what is your point, you feel the Bush's control the oil industry?

Wow, i'm not W supporter, yet i'm constantly surprised and amused at how a lot of human beings have faith in this conspiracy concept approximately oil fees. gas fees began to upward thrust in the summertime of 1999. while Clinton released oil reserves in 2000 throughout the election, a lot of human beings concept it replaced into election ploy. photograph that! understand that the Democrats promised to decrease gas fees in 2006 and then the yank human beings have been hit with the utmost gas fees in our u . s .'s history. i'm grateful for the drop in oil fees, regardless of the shown fact that, i don't think of it rather is a powerful concept to get too mushy with those new decrease fees. we are nevertheless on the mercy of foreign places oil manufacturers and except the U.S. figures out a thank you to offer her own oil we can are condemn to repeat our previous.

Which Bush is in the OIL business ?
Can you name him, what oil company ?
So you really think that G.W. Bush, is so powerful, that he can raise world oil prices, by himself ?
That he can force Canada, Mexico, Norway, Russia, Venezeula, Saudi, Nigeria to double the price of thier oil, just so he could make money, if he did indeed own a mythicial oil company.

Gas prices were high in the mid 70s, does that mean Carter was in the oil business? And looking at several Democrats they have big investments in energy companies, think there might be a link there? Consider that up to 50% of the price of fuel is taxes, which party likes to tax gas companies? give you a hint, its not Republicans.

The two are unrelated. OIl orices are high, because, prices are set by OPEC an organization comprised of member nations that dislike the USA. The falling value of the dollar is also partly to blame since oil is bougth and sold in dollars. A weaker dollar means smaller profits. Supply and demand is also a contributing factor.
I dislike the Bush family too, but they can'r be blamed for everything.
