The real question is, "Why in the world did people vote for a man (to be president) that had stocks in an oil company?!"

Most people able to be pres are more than likely very well off and most probably will have stocks in an oil company or some other high end industry... so we're fucked either way... just my opinion

I HATE these gas prices and OPEC(we've seen record earnings this year). I wonder F'n why. Before Katrina it was around 1.60 for premium, now a mere what year and a half later it's 2.60.

Burn in hell those that decided the prices.
