This is one thing I absolutely deplore about this President.

Provided with an excellent opportunity to illustrate "you reap what you sow", he chooses instead to pander.

Anyone who wasn't asleep in Econ. 101 knows what's going on with oil, and GWB holds an MBA from an Ivy-League institution of higher learning.

This is one reason I will never be elected to political office, because my comment would have been "If you think the oil companies are making obscene profits, then buy their stock. The dividends and capital gains will offset the expense of filling up your tank to your benefit."

Sheesh!

ROFL!

But there is no "free market" when it comes to oil prices. I am not free to not buy gas. How am I supposed to get to work? Or heat my house? I live in a rural area in northern Minnesota. The price of gas yesterday was $2.76, which means it cost me $16.01 to drive to work and back today. The weather is so cold in the winter that I can't just "turn the heat down" or I'll freeze to death.

"If you think the oil companies are making obscene profits, then buy their stock. The dividends and capital gains will offset the expense of filling up your tank to your benefit."

And this is your solution?? Either start price gouging with the rest of them or quite complaining.
