George Bush is the cause of high gas prices

Let's blame someone who has nothing to do with the problem that I am blaming him for. George Bush and the cost of gasoline. Well the fact that OPEC will not increase production of crude oil is part of the problem, yes, but the other side of the coin is the fact that the Democratic Party refuses to allow the evil oil companies to build any new refineries or drill for oil here in America. That must be W's fault as well.
"Energy Conservation" is another red herring. The last time that conservation was proposed by the government and the energy producers we (the Public) did just as the government and producers of energy ask of us and we stopped using as much energy just like they wanted us to. Then the other shoe dropped. Energy prices to us consumers ( who did just what was asked of us ) sky rocketed. The reason given to us by those same energy producers was "the consumers aren't using as much energy" so we must raise the prices that we charge them. The less there is sold the more it cost. Imagine that!
And I don't recall seeing outrage from any democrats when Hillary Clinton (an unelected at the time Hillary) was sued when she spent some 93 million tax-payer dollars on her failed attempt to have the government take over the health industry, and then refused to tell us (the tax-payers) where and how that money was spent. We (the tax-payers) tried to, to no avail.
Blaming someone that has absolutely no control over what private industry does is asinine, and is ignoring the facts that are out there. Unless you choose to ignore them because of some personal partisan bias.
