I know what you mean about the shit thats been going on and everybody blaming Bush. Actually, he has dont a decent job of preventing a recession for a long time considering our current financial situation. Not the entire county is in the shitter as the media would like you to believe. N.Carolina for instance is absolutly booming. The tree huggers have kept the us from building any new oil refineries in over 30 years. If we built like 2 more refineries then the price of oil will drop dramaticly. When the demand keeps going up, but you can only refine it at the same pace as you did when there were 1/3 as many cars on the road…well then the price is bound to jump.
