"... why you blame $3 gas on Bush but I am afraid I would be called stupid or something."

Stupid? No, just gullible. Yes, gas has been "higher" for years now as demand increases and supplies are limited....but the difference between $2 gas and $3+ gas is FEAR brought about by speculators nervous about the instability of the Middle-East since GW decided Iraq would be a push-over! (Don't throw picky details at me, the FACT is that prices went up after we invaded Iraq, made a jump after Katrina, then LEAPED as the war situation got worse & worse. Production didn't change that much......you READ how much profits the oil companies made the last year.

Blame Bush? Sure...he created the situation that made bad go to worse, then to miserable!
