Your words, not mine.
I, for one, am NOT looking forward to additional profiteering and $2.00 per gallon gas.
Your view is the cynical one and it really doesn't make sense.
I assume that you feel that the profiteering and the $2 gas would be to GWB's benefit and that they are his primary motivation. If that is the case, you are then implying that GWB has low integrity and you are assuming that $2 gas wouldn't hurt him politically.
Such thinking flies in the face of reality. The personal risks in this whole thing far outweigh any personal benefit GWB might get. The truth is that he wants to do what is good for the nation and is appalled at the choices he has been given.
