Democrats on Capitol Hill slammed the Bush administration yesterday over the escalating cost of gasoline as Republican leaders asked the White House to investigate charges of price gouging by the major oil companies.

“The same Bush administration that so tragically bungled the response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita has now bungled its way to $3-per-gallon gasoline,” Sen. Ron Wyden, Oregon Democrat, said yesterday. “Now it’s clear to anyone who fills up at a gas pump that this administration is also failing in its approach to energy.”

The Rats blocked more drilling then and continue to do so today which is why we find ourselves in the predicament we are in today and will be for years to come.

One time during the 2nd. Bush admin. the avg. gas price in Washington state was $1.57 and we have one of the highest gas taxes in the country.

I remember my congressman standing in a darkened house of representatives when gas prices spiked while Bush was president........and democrats held majorities in both house and senate. Democrats went on vacation while republicans were calling for action on energy policy.

When Bush left office gas was at $1.69. The only times we spiked under Bush was because of crisis somewhere and they dropped when Bush announced opening the reserves, which I disagreed with, but it did lower the prices.

Speculators are exactly what their title is and they base their objectiveness on perceived supply and demand.

Speculators don't believe Obama will increase supply so they base their objectiveness on that.

DemocRATS, when Bush was President, engaged in mock hearings on the issue of price gouging at the pump, and returned a verdict of "Not Guility" on the oil industry and Wall Street. Now, Obozo, is going to "address" oil costs by going after price gouging by Wall Street on oil prices.

So, back then it was Bush's fault! Today, it's Bush's fault. In 10 years it will be Bush's fault. Someone needs to buy a new dog. The old one don't hunt.

What goes around comes around. That is if the RINO’s have the brains to use this kind of ammunition.
