The Saudi Royal family have a great deal to do with the Bush family's wealth. In the midst of a down oil market George Jr's Oil company turned record profits. You may say well George Jr. is a good businessman. Well, if his presidential prowess is any sign of how he runs a business we can put his former oil company profits in jeopardy. I have listed my source below.

Because Bush and his oil friends would have to admit they have harmed the globe. Even when the oceans are 20 feet higher and our coastal cities are under water, they will deny it.

America is calling for a complete investigation that Bush is avoiding at all cost. Haliburton, Carlyle, and the Bechtel corporation have profiteered trillions, not billions from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Bush has some explaining to do Lucy!!!

Bush prefers other issues to telling the truth about anything.

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)

It's not the oil thats so high. It's Cheney. He's being like any other republican. GREEDY. I'm saying this cause I am one. He's the reason gas is so high.

It is NOT because of the war. It is because the people that run the oil companies are good friends of the President\n\nThe supply of oil is at an 8 year high. That means that we have more gas available today than we have had in 8 years.\nin any normal business, that would drive the price DOWN but, not oil.\n\nThe CEO of EXXON_MOBILE just got a $400 MILLION dollar bonus. That is 400,000,000 dollars in one year. That is his PERSONAL income, that dosn't even count the BILLIONS of dollars the oil companies make in PROFITS every year.\nIn the past 12 years the CEO of EXXON-MOBILE has made over  a BILLION (yes, a billion $1,000,000,000 dollars of personal income. We all paid for that by buying gas.\n\nThe reason we are paying so much is because the oil companies are greedy bastards that are making $100,000,000,000 of dollars in profits a year and our President is letting them get away with it.That is Anti-American!!!\n\nSome may argue that this is America and business people can charge what they want but in many cases, this one included, that is not really a fact. The oil business is supposed to be regulated. Not anyone can just decide to get into it. The government regulates who can join and who can't.\n\nThe fact is, we are paying WAY too much for gas and Bush'e buddys are literally "laughing all the way to the bank"\n\nAlso, we do not get most of our gas from the Middle East, that's what they try to make us believe. We only get 12-15% of our oil from the Middle East.\n40% of our oil comes from the US itself.\nWe also get a huge percent of our oil from Canada, Mexico and Venezuela.

Clinton was far more articulate. His lies actually made you think 'maybe he telling the truth'. I assume that because he was a lawyer and thats what they do best. Bush has a Business degree. Thats why he always seems to be trying to 'sell' us something.

Obviously Bush is using his power to line the pockets of his corporate buddies.  It’s no accident that when many businesses are struggling to stay alive, General Electric, Microsoft, and Exxon (a subsidiary of Brown and Root which is a subsidiary of Halliburton) are the three largest money making companies in the country reporting record profits.  The executives of all of these companies have close affiliations with the Republican Party and love Bush.\n\nConsidering much of General Electric’s and Halliburton’s profits are coming from non-competitive over inflated government contracts, they’re making billions off tax dollars.\n\nEnron would have been right up there with them if “Kenny Boy” hadn’t gotten caught with his hand in the till.

Bush wanted Iraq's oil.

I believe the Bush administration Is the cause for the increase in gas prices. Do you remember when the Vice President had a secret meeting with the oil big wigs? This meeting was so hush-hush the president went to the supreme court to have the minutes sealed. soon after gas prices went through the roof. The Bush started the war in Iran. We had Gulf coast storms. There were a lot of factors but mainly it is greed by the oil companies. Oil companies will site market conditions as the reason for gas prices increasing. What they wont tell you is that they caused those conditions. ask them why did they close oil refineries down in Calif. and not build new ones?

I do not agree with it. I think that the President's friends have investments over there and they think that they should use the US army to defend their investments. (Oil)

Again... "moral Republican" is an oxymoron... just ask Abramoff... \nBush is just looking for excuses to stir the pot in middle east so his oil stocks will go up... he's doing a very good job...

Why would he want to? He's making millions off high gas prices, its not in his interest to make them lower.\n\nHe gets paid $200,000 a year by the government to be President, but last year he made over $2 Million from oil companies.  Where do you think his interests are?

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!!

Bush and the oil companies record profits. If there wasn't record profits there wouldn't be any problem. They are gouging America, and Bush is allowing it to happen.
