Today, we have a similar economic condition surfacing. But this time, none of the causes were outside Dubya's control. $4.00 per gallon gas prices are the direct result of his decisions. This is what we call a "Republican Administration." The economy is all about spending, and this sharp increase in everyone's biggest expense is.....victorious. I'll bet you guys are very proud.
I disagree...the 1974 embargo was the shot across the bow. Since then, administrations and congress...of BOTH parties have done nothing to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

Plenty of blame to go around, if you ask me. But it's OK, Super...I shoulda known you'd blame it only on Bush.

So, do you really think Hillary or Obama will get us back to $1.49 per gallon gas?
