Why are gas prices so high when we have an oil man as President?

If Bush is so great why are the oil prices so high? Wondering if we’d be better off with someone that didn’t have such close ties to big oil companies. It makes me wonder if laws are being broken given the steep rise we’ve seen under his administration. Thoughts?

      Don’t you understand? Bush and Cheney need a good retirement fund when they leave the White House. With raised gas prices, it brings their gas company stocks up, thus their retirement fund goes up. Woot! They are smart arses.

      For example right now court gave the oil investments make more money politics is an easy one with prices up his own oil companies want to really learn to start drilling in that will close off many areas that will close.

      This just proves that Bush and Oil Companies are NOT in bed together,
      or we would have the lowest gas
      prices around anywhere. You guys are all
      wet. Besides, in case you aren’t smart
      enough to know this, the President of the
      U.S. does not set gas prices, whether it is
      Bush or Clinton.

      The Chinese have over 750 million automobiles and trucks in their country. It takes a lot of oil to keep them all running! That is one reason why gas prices are high. Americans, generally speaking, like big vehicles. That’s another reason. The wealthy often buy cars that get less than 10 miles per gallon. That’s another reason.
      The tragedy? In Iraq a tank of gas is less expensive than a few bottles of drinking water.
