Come on Less, I've been looking for that quote and haven't been able to find it. There is no way the press would give Bush a pass on a statement like that. I call BS unless you find the statement and prove me wrong.
From my limited economics understanding prices go up when supply goes down, or is perceived to be down. One solution would be to increase the supply. There is still huge potential in this country, in Anwr and in the Gulf. Unfortunately the same people who blame Bush are blocking getting oil from these areas using the same arguements that they used years ago when the Alaskian pipeline was going in. We all now the disasters that have resulted from that.
Meanwhile, Castro is looking in that area, just what we need.
