DO you think bush is going to lower gas prices?

There's not much he can do unless we start drilling more oil and make it easier to build refineries

Gas prices are going up everywhere for a variety of reasons, not all of which are "greedy oil companies." But I won't go into that.\n\nBecause of the mild winter we've just experienced, there is quite a bit of oil supply right now. I think prices will drop soon.\n\nBest of success.

No. Bush already has created the next Vietnam in Iraq. A war that's basically going nowhere. Imagine if we attacked Iran by ourselves? First of all, we'd lose. There's no way Iran would cave in just like Iraq did. Iraq was already a split nation(kind of like ours, ironically) and Iran is completely united against us. \n\nIf anything, the United Nations will have to do this together if they really want to, but I doubt we will. \n\nAnd a response to looking into the Saudi Arabia nuclear program: THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Bush is strong allies with Saudi Arabia's leaders. Are you joking? Gas prices would reach 20$ a gallon the day he decides to do anything in Saudi Arabia. Besides, why would he, he makes money with those people.

If it were a war for oil, wouldn't we be bringing all that oil over here?  It is, in fact, a completely oil-less war.  We've gotten no oil out of it.  If we had taken that oil - free oil - prices would be at an all-time low.\n\nAlso, for those that say it's a war for oil because Bush is an oil baron, the last thing an oil baron would do would be anything that increases supply.  That would make the price go down.  So, if Bush were an oil baron, the absolute last thing he would want would be a war for oil.  Simple supply and demand.\n\nThe truly twisted, tinfoil-hat crowd should be claiming that Bush went to war to PREVENT Iraqi oil from getting to the U.S., thus restricting supply.  So, maybe it would be a war FROM oil.  See, the crazy conspiracists can't even get their conspiracies right.

Hey! It's not all about the American People it's all about this green stuff they call money. \n\nThey always have some dumb butt lame excuse for raising the prices. \n\nMy joke is this!! OH MY GOSH!! OH MY GOSH!! President Bush let a fart, it may very well put a hole in the ozone layer lets raise the gas prices, it will take more people off of the streets and reduce air pollution. that's how stupid it's getting to be\n\nOkay..now that I am here...Gunther...get me the soap box lil man LOL!!!!! He's a good cat. LOL\n\nYou know this gas price thing is killing our economy. I just watched the news tonight. People are limiting their driving. They are limiting their entertainment and other things so that they can conserve gas so that they can get to work to earn money so that they can keep STUPID BUTT GASOLINE IN THEIR TANKS!! That is going to drive prices up everywhere because people are not shopping as often, they aren't going to other places as often and in order to keep business rolling grocery prices will jump the cost of entertainment will jump\n\nHELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ANYONE OUT THERE??? Holy smokes. The almighty buck is killing the American people. We are being smothered by it. We are being smothered by the greed of the government. \n\nAs far as Bush goes. Don't know . Don't know. I just don't. I think he needs to step in and put a stop to this! It's really getting to be out of hand. I believe that many things are going to happen. The crime rate will go up people are going to start siphoning gas tanks\n\nIt's going to be really really pretty out there. \n\nOkay, I am off the soapbox now. Come here Gunther..put it back where you got it from and come get your treat. LOL!! \n\nOkay, I had to add a stupid corny humorous twist to it ;)

No problem "N". I'm actually in the market for a new car and I'm considering the Civic hybrid, with the current criminal Bush administration in charge of things, I foresee gas prices going up and up. Some neocon zombies will cite supply and demand, yeah right. Bush is an oil man first and formost. I can't wait for 2008. Give your horses a carrot from me :)

The WHOLE SPEECH was a joke. HE'S the one "addicted to oil". We depend on it, yeah. But addicted? And when all these hybrid and electric cars come out, where will that leave the working class? Does he think we can all afford to run right out and buy a new car? The working man will have to still buy gas. And if he dicides to cut off oil ANY PERCENTAGE, that means more expensive gas prices for the Middle Class, less jobs, and more homeless.

No, it would still be the same. Gas has nothing to do with whos the President. I dislike Bush, but I do not think he is in charge of the gas prices.\n\n"This is a total misconception. The reason for high gas prices is simply supply and demand in this country, not the cost of barrel of crude oil, be it purchased from Saudi Arabia or elsewhere. \n\nThis country has not built any new plants (at least any that provided a significant increase to our ability to increase production of refined oil products) since the mid to late 1990s. \n\nIt doesn't take a lot to realize that if we have to divert millions of barrels of our refined oil products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, to fight a war, less of the product will find its way to the American consumer. \n\nSo in the land which has proven that capitalism and open markets are much better at regulating than any government, it should come as no surprise that we will have to pay more per gallon of fuel until such time as the plants that refine the crude oil in the United States catch up with the deficit. \n\nToo many US citizens have the idea that they are entitled to a free lunch. Whenever a resource is used for one thing, it means there will be less available for whoever else might want to use this resource. Hey, it's the American way, and it works."

I don't think so, but I'll bet they've got a cozy little oil deal going on so GW will have oodles of money when his presidency is over.

Yes, but gas prices have been going up and down so much that I don't really think that it has anything to do with the elections at all.
486472
No, they'll just b*tch about how the price of gas would really go up with him in office. You know how much they hate oil men. They'd have to vote Republican in that case. Wanna be my running mate?

OK I will say to you what I said to everyone else.  Bush does not make the laws.  It's the senate and congress.  Bush has no power.  Why blame someone that is there for show.  It's all politics. Read up on your govt.  Please!   Calling him an As s Hole is like me calling you an B itch for gas prices going up.    And for our soldiers dying.  The congress voted yes on war they could have easily voted no.  And for the soldiers dying I was a soldier at one time.  I knew the consequences so do all of our soldiers at this day and time.  So to blame someone for their death we should just say thanks to those who serve instead.  Also as for gas prices it's all in the Lobbyist that control congress.  Before you ask any other question as stupid as this please read into how politics work.  I am not political but just one person that tries to keep informed on the reasons behind it.

If they release oil reserves every time the price rises a little it will go down, but we will pay for it dearly when the oil producing countries see that our reserves are getting low. Six years ago our reserves were at an all time low. We held our own for a while but eventually the suppliers realized we didn't have backup and that's how we reached the all time high prices. Several months ago the reserves were in the ninety percent range and that is when it finally started dropping. If they do use the reserves properly gas prices will remain stable. If it does drop dramatically look out we will pay for it later.

I think in the next election a Democrat will get in because everyone is over the lies, war, and over spending.  If anyone remembers, when Clinton was in office gas was at .77 cents per gallon - today its 2.73 a gallon at the cheap gas station.  Bush has not done anything to help this country and has only driven up the debt and broken ties with other countries by going to war, based on lies.

It is so funny when people blaming Bush for EVERYTHING. What's next? houses prices are too high...it's Bush, American cars are unreliable...it's Bush, or maybe...people who live in communist regimes have no rights...it's Bush, women and little girls in Vietnam are kidnapped and sold to Cambodia, Hongkong, Thailand for sex slaves everyday...it's Bush. or check this out...you don't feel good today...IT"S BUSH TOO! yeah, why not? I saw and heard people blamed Bush for hurricane Katrina, yeah they said it's because of Bush that hurricane happened!!! so why not blame your President for those? \nI'm sorry to say but blaming President Bush for gas price now is stupid.the main sources of oil are from the Mid-East, those countries there are unstable and we don't control oil industries, the OPEC does. 60% of gas we use everyday here in the States are imported, so if those countries shake up then gas price here start to jump and it will jump more in the near future. Just look at the situation in the Mid-East right now and make your best judgememts.\nGo ahead, blame your president for whatever you want. It's a free country. Well, I do not blame the President for that. I'm an immigrant who just got my US citizenship and i am very proud of it. I'm just alittle sad to know that American are not united, we are so devided that our enemies are taking advantage of it against us. Please look around with a more open mind.\nI hope I did not offend anyone here. I just say what I think.

I'm sorry this question is too mundane for me but I will answer it even though I will still get the two points anyway! If we look forward to the USA war machine to grind to a halt because of gasoline what do you think will happen to us?\n\nI guess you didn't have time to think about that did ya? Or course not when they run out of gasoline then we will be next. Everyone needs gasoline to move around from place to place. Now if you are only saying this because you want the war to stop then that is a different story but fat chance on that ever happening because they keep reserves for that kind of problem. Believe me the military is well prepared for the they double up on everything and I do mean everything.\n\nUnderstand we are all in the same boat together when it comes down to the price of gasoline and trust me the military is having there share too. But to be honest with you, I really think you should have thought this question out much more thoroughly before you presented it to us. Because you my friend are just speaking with giving a reason of intellect.

I'm tired as well.\n\nI'm even more tired of hearing its Bush's fault for the high prices, and then hearing how he is only in Iraq for the Oil.\n\n------------------\n\nalford, (below) give me a break, you can't really be that naive, can you?  The average profit on each gallon of gas is 9 cents.  The average tax on each gallon of gas is 50 cents.\n\nSupply vs. demand is what controls the gas prices.  Can you supply any evidence to your conspiracy theory that Bush is at the head of a table in a board room with all the oil executives plotting a master plan to raise gas prices?  Is he behind the high price of bottled water also?\n\nYou claim people dint know what they are talking about, while you make accusations without anything to back them up.\n\nBush wants to increase our oil supply (which lowers prices) by drilling in our own country, but your liberal hero's wont let him.\n\nBush wants to increase our means of refining oil (which would increase our oil supply) but your liberal hero's wont let him.\n\nYour a typical liberal, who has been brainwashed by the likes of Michael Moore, and Bill Mahr.  You obviously can't think for yourself.  If you could, you would be smart enough to look into the baseless allegations you make and realize they are ludicrous.
