"Bush does nothing to combat rising prices,"

It kills me when I hear people spout this crap. What kind of idiot thinks that bush somehow controls the price of oil? Wait, let me answer that: The same kind who thought somehow we were going to war "for oil".

Don't people even bother to perform the most perfunctory analysis of any issue before swallowing it wholesale?

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

The market controls the price. Markets can be manipulated, however. See what Soros did to entire SE Asian economies. I wonder how he is betting this market? Or do we just see the natural market response when the country with the largest population on earth discovers the joys of the automobile.

(Cant' say I'm really knowledgable on this subject. Just wondering out loud...)

NO....unless your a democratic,then you believe UBL's a legal matter,clinton can say opposite things about his knowledge of UBL,but.....(here's the one that gets me)..clinton lied,but no body died. (except for Somalia,the USS Cole,Waco,92 attack on WTC, and a few embassies)...but hey if your a liberal democrat,who's counting
