How the hell does any president of the USA control the price of oil? I do not want a president of our country controlling the price of oil anyway!
Monthly "greed meetings" at a secret location. The President attends along with all of the oil company robber barons and Karl Rove. They flip a coin that has "GREED!!" on one side and "NO GREED!!" on the other and use that to decide prices. Just plain bad luck it's come up "GREED!!" 27 months in a row.
