It's amusing to see folks blast Bush et.al., and wage these diatribes about why we should believe their argument.  So far so good.  But then, they adlib about why somehow that doesn't apply to Obama when in fact Obama has not actually done one thing to keep prices down, has implemented policies that clearly contribute to prices rising, and on balance is no different from any POTUS of the past with regard to this issue.

Let's just face the reality.  Something happens to all those who sit at the desk in the oval office.  They get scared to death of fucking with the oil industry and let prices go wherever they go, offering nothing but sound bites swallowed by average dummies who think they actually mean anything.
