Lets see, crude at 60.00 a barrel, thats almost double what it was when Bush-Cheney took the helm, yeah I'm sure the elections have nothing to do with the lowering of the price of crude-Not! Now when we see the price of gas approaching $2.40 a gallon we rejoice, don't we remember that when GW took office it was around $1.40-1.60 a gallon, man are we stupid. They're giving us a huge break, and just before the elections, come on, how could that be rigged. Does it matter that the Bushes are almost family with the saudis, that the whole Bush regime is mostly Oilmen, do you think they cannot control the price of oil, well then partner, have another swig offen that thar bottle and go back to sleep! I'll bet that after the elections the price of oil will climb back to where they want it. I'd say around 3.00-3.50 a gallon, any takers, come on Red, put your money where you mouth is. If gas isn't over 2.90 a gallon a year after the 2008 elections, it will be because someone with balls (who's not an oilman) got elected. They might keep it low untill the 2008 elections, but after that the skys the limit. I'm more inclined to see it shoot up after the 2006 elections and fall again in mid 2008. Red I'll Bet you a 1/4 ounce of smoke that I'm right!
