Well, now that the Obamination got elected, Isreal will probably attack Iran before Bush leaves office. That won't be good for gas prices.
And then after that, the Obamination will tax the living crap out of the oil companies, oil producers, and oil refineries. He'll tax them so hard they'll just decide it aint worth being in business and just quit or move further overseas. That won't be good for gas prices.
So, the way I see it, we're really going to be taking it up the rear end.
And anyone who actually believes that somehow Bush caused the runnup in oil prices over the last 8 years needs to grow up.
