The Clinton administration didn't engage in "energy profiteering"? Funny, I recall Clinton requested that OPEC lower their oil production while he was in office, so that Russia could sell more oil (i.e, get money from us to pay back the money they owed us), and so the Riati family in Indonesia could sell more oil (in other words, "Thanks for your generous donations to the DNC--now here's our donation to you"). I also recall that Al Gore has a family trust with $500,000 in Occidental Oil Company stocks which tripled in value when they were able to start selling the oil in their Naval reserves around that time--the same oil that was at the center of the Teapot Dome scandal when a similar shady deal was attempted.
But they're Democrats, so it doesn't count.
