“Answer me this, how could this or any administration manipulate the price of oil and why would they want to do it?”
Its easy, DR. Don’t find an alternative to petroleum based fuels and keep everyone angry about not drilling in places where there isn’t enough oil to break the stranglehold people who want us dead have on the product and by extension us. Why would they want to do it? For the same reason people think its just great that our military uniforms are made in China and that we for all intents and purposes can’t function as a nation without goods made by the Red Chinese, money, DR, money.
“Yea and West Texas intermediate was at 7.80 a barrel in 98, whats your point?”
That in three years the price of a barrel of crude went up $17.00 while in seven years under Jorge it went up $81.00. Is there something about that which is confusing?
The fact that you want to blame Bush for oil going up, but not Clinton. Doesn’t really matter though, neither had the ability to manipulate the price of oil, had they wanted to.
