Does the President or any members of his family own stock in the oil companies?

No. I think that this is something personal for Bush. It's a "I'm President now and I'm gonna get you back for trying to kill my dad" type thing. Also, we all know that there is plenty of oil over there. Well what is Bush's family biz? You guessed it, OIL. We did what we set out to do over there. We got Saddam out of power and we should've helped, not take over. I'm not a very political person , but this whole conflict and the deaths of so many people just makes me and I know alot of you wonder what is really going on

Maybe if we tell Bush that Nigeria has oil he will just bomb it off the face of the planet and then we won't have to worry about getting anymore "I'm a lawyer from Nigeria and your relatives all died in a car accident and they had $10,000,000 and your the only person w/ this last name I could find...." type of scams... -beaver (Rock Island, Illinois)

The Vice President presides over the Senate and casts the deciding vote when a tie occurs.  So for now, Oil Companies will make the decisions when Republicans and Democrats can't compromise.

its no coincidence\n\neven if he is no longer in the oil industry...which I doubt...  I am sure he has his dirty little fingers in there somewhere...  he still has all his friends and cronies in the oil business that are making money hand over fist with these price increases.

A lot. The problem with high gas prices have nothing to do with an Oil Shortage. It is our great presidents way of making his friends a  lot of money. Do you remember there was a gas shortage in the 70s. that is over twenty years ago why have we not ran out of oil yet? Don't believe the hype.

Gas prices have nothing to do with a president.  Check the prices in the rest of the world.  You would blame who ever is in office.

I don't understand why people think that Bush (or any other president at any other time) is responsible for the price of oil or gas.  Things like wars, production, supply, and demand dictate the price of gas.  Not any given world leader.  \n\nTo blame one man or administration from ANY country for high gas prices is silly.  Believe it or not, our presidents have our best interests in minds (mostly) - the last thing they want to do is piss us off.

Could be he knows oil supplies are dwindling in Saudi Arabia where he has co-harts. Knew he had to do something to keep up his flow of money to himself and cronies based on oil production and trade. Somehow I think the Saudi's are in on this somewhere.

The Bush family has made all there money for years of of oil and dirty deeds. If you research it you will find there was a deal with Sadam about a pipe line to be built, And when he refused we went to war!! These oil companies are making record profits!!! No one is doing anything to stop them. And oil is part of the reason we are at war, to control more oil!!

If you're talking about the american political family who made their wealth in oil it is the rockefeller's and Standard Oil \n \nJoe kennedy started out as a broker and got his real start to wealth by being the only legal distributer of Gin during prohibition.\n\nCitizens energy is a non profit company  formed in 1979 by Joe Kennedy II with the following Mission : MISSION STATEMENT\nCitizens Energy Corporation exists to help make life's basic needs more accessible and affordable.
