[quote=Stacks42;305626]You have got to be kidding the Bush family is from Texas where W used to be a CEO of a small oil company Spetrum 7, that was aquired by Harken,(bush sold his stock at the perfect time and made a boat load of money) Cheney worked for Haliburton (Cheney sold his stock and made even more money). You dont seriously believe that they still dont have close ties and business dealings with both of those industries?[/quote]
Once again they have sold their interest so how do they profit from high gas prices? They don't because they have sold their interest.

[QUOTE=SantanaMan;305612]It must be awful to have to pay $3.50 a gallon for gas!!! Try living here, I live in N.Ireland and currently the price is £0.94 a LITER (approx. $1.88 a liter), on mainland UK the prices are around £1 a liter.
[/QUOTE]

By my calculations, that adds up to about $7.80 per gallon.

My point is they have pre-established relationships with companies that are seeing record profits due to the current administration. If you dont think that all of this is fueled by greed and the lining of their own pockets, than you are pretty naive.

Thats my point, I hear this all the time but no one can ever say how they are linning their pockets. Just at some point that both have been in the business so its "assumed" they are in some how. The Democrats have control of both house and what have they done. When the Rep. had control of both houses the Dems. had no problem making gas prices an issue and they had all the CEO's of big oil co. come to Washington making a big deal about the issue. I guess now that they have control they do not want to make it an issue as it would make them look bad.
