Why two oil men (Bush & Cheny) as leaders have made such mess in american oil prices?

The oil prices are all time high, and have gone up about 50% in the past 6 months.





Bush and Cheny worked in the oil industry before before they became politicians. It appears they could have done a better job in lowering the oil prices of america - whether thru a better petroleum industry policy, energy saving policy, better energy cars, better relation with oil producing countries, etc.Why two oil men (Bush %26amp; Cheny) as leaders have made such mess in american oil prices?
Wow, it was them? And all this time I thought it was Iran, speculators, China and India having such huge growths in industry, enormous global demand, and OPEC's production not meeting demand. How silly of me!! Of course it was these 2 men, and only these 2 men that have done this. It's all so clear now!





P.S. Does ML stand for moronic liberal?Why two oil men (Bush %26amp; Cheny) as leaders have made such mess in american oil prices?
How is it that so many expound on Bush %26amp; Cheney's stupidity, yet proffer statements such as this dynamic duo was able to mess up american oil prices. People believe what they want to but fact is, two men cannot manipulate oil prices despite having been in the oil business.





Bush was part owner of a baseball team. Is that why A-Rod managed a quarter billion dollar contract. How about the Clintons and Obamas being lawyers. Maybe that's why America is the most litigious country in the world and the trial lawyers get a free pass.





The conclusion you come to based on your premise doesn't work.
Two world renowned global energy experts have told Congress that it will take a comprehensive energy plan including increasing domestic production to solve the oil crisis.


Why do you think Pelosi has vowed to block any votes coming to the floor? Obama. She wouldn't won't him to look like he was wrong!
CONGRESS PASSES LAWS! NOT THE PRESIDENT! So write to your local congressman and ask him / her to please allow drilling to increase supply and decrease our dependency on foriegn oil. And while you're at it, ask Nancy Pelosi why she keeps blocking a vote in the House Of Representatives on off shore drilling.
isn't funny how a ex oil man is pres and vice pres used to be the ceo of haliburton,the price of oil jumps from 26$ to 140$ a barrel





i'm not a conspiracy theorist,just saying if colonel sanders was president and the price of KFC tripled i'd be suspicious
You know what? Bush and Cheney are not the problem but they could be the solution..... After all don't we help provide food to the Middle East. We could simply cut off that food supply...oh but wait....the liberals would never stand for it so I guess we can't.
Brilliance the two men were required by law to divest themselves. You should take a closer look at your Liberal Buddies like John Kerry who has investments in Exxon and BP.
You need to explain how two men can control the price of oil. Please tell us just how this happens. You seem to think you know. Lets hear it.
they did their job...got oil up there to $147 a barrel....it seems that a foreign policy that tilts toward war and not having talks tends to raise the price
The price of oil sky rocketed in the last two years. The same time both houses of Congress were controlled by the Democrats. See any correlation there Sparky?
They have not made a mess of oil prices. The oil companies are doing fabulously well. Wasn't that the plan.
American oil men are making oil~lot of Money with the high price per Barrel sold by OPEC then inflated by speculators.... cant you see the beauty of it all
