" To Really.
Yes I do. The President may not control the price but he can effect it by what he does, like invading soverign nations to get at their oil, or going to war with a country that his family has oil of its shore lines.
Also, when you have the former chair of Chevron, Ms. Condy Rice and Dick, Vader Cheney and his haliburton croonies, you think that doesn't have an effect. The current bailout is one more way for them to get thier digs in our money before they leave. If it takes 700 billion to rid us of all the Crooks in the White House, I am up for part of the share.

" I will keep saying this. Our government doesn't care about us. They care about oil, money, war, and power. We have solutions for alternative energy right now, not "years from now", but our government refuses to allow it because then the big oil companies would lose money. Big oil, like Standard Oil, owns and controls everything and almost everyone, from Sears to K-Mart to JC Penney. Oil controls much more than just gasoline prices; research it for yourself. Getting rid of oil is the solution, but it is going to be a tougher fight than we think, and it will take everyone writing letters, making phone calls, sending e-mails to our leaders and representatives, and voting for someone besides a Democrat or Republican. Just remember that most of our politicians are bought and paid for. It's hard to find one that goes against the grain and stands uf for the average person, like Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich. In the end, they may just be another politician who promises things they can't or won't deliver, but we have to start somewhere and make our voices heard. America is a sleeping giant that needs to wake up. "

" To lol: Do you really believe that the President is keeping the gas prices high? Any President (democratic or republican) with the power to cut gas prices would do it in a heartbeat! He would then be a hero in this country and to his party. Something like that would also guarantee his party would stay in control of that office. That's what its all about.........keeping their respective parties in power, not doing what is best for the people. Don't get me wrong, I do believe more can be done and I also believe Congress is as much at fault as anyone, and I believe there is more to this than just supply and demand. "

" When an elected American oil man invades Iraq for its oil and then charges American prices for it, just what is the big surprise. You get what you vote for folks!!! Pay the man!!! Go Obama!!! "
