It is funny how republicans want to point fingers and blame everything on democrats with out checking when or where it really happened, it is easier to just say well Clinton did it.
Big oil, big business and the republicans did it. They are never conservative when it comes to lining their own pockets. A bunch of liars and manipulators.

How a speculator works
Once upon a time a man told a small village, "I will buy monkeys for $10 each."
Since there were many monkeys in the forest, the villagers caught them and sold them to the man. As the supply of monkeys diminished, the villagers' efforts slowed, so the man offered them $20 each. They renewed their efforts but the supply of monkeys diminished further, so he increased his price to $25.
Soon no one could even find a monkey in the forest.
The man increased his price to $50, but announced, "Since I must go to the city on business, I authorize my assistant to buy monkeys on my behalf."
As soon as his boss was gone, the assistant told the villagers, "My boss has collected lots of monkeys. I'll sell them to you for $35 and then, when he returns, you can sell them to him for $50." The villagers rounded up all the money they could and bought as many monkeys as possible. Then they had monkeys everywhere... ... but they never saw the man or his assistant again.

I have a friend in the CIA and boy are you so screwed.
Yes there is enough oil in Gull Island, bigger than Saudi fields. Also there's a bigger amount in the gulf off New Orleans. But thats not all there are 8 more large sites here in the USA. Boy are they putting it to you. You are nothing but a cash cow to them. They want to kill off the middle class. It's part of the North American Union deal they have got going on for you..... So learn spanish and get ready... they know that you won't do anything but just stand there taking it like the cash cow you are.

Where is it 3.22 we are in the 3.70 range here

SHMTNMUSIC 02:12:16 PM May 16 2008

Report This! Today's wholesale price of $3.22 means we will break the barrier of the average price of $4.00 soon. The only reason for this rise is the traders. They can't help themselves, they are so giddy with cash. No matter what we try to do to conserve, nothing will stop them. The only way to get off this one way train ride is to get oil off the commodities market. Don't blame ********'s the guy next door who makes a living off of trading who just bought that $1,000,000 home for his parents and the $2,000,000 summer home for himself.

I said don't blame George Bush. The AOL word checker blocked that out.

The Dixie Chicks are right we are ashamed that Bush claims to be a Texan. He is really from Kennebunkport,Maine
