So because the price of oil has been raised by those willing to bid it
up..its the fault of Bush?

So, folks had to wait in line to buy gas, on even/odd days?

Was that Carter's fault?

Electorate said, "yep."


People have short memories. Oil was higher under Carter than it is today.
In todays (2005) dollars oil was 86 dollars per barrel in 1980. In the 70's
oil rose the equivelant of 71 (2005) dollars per barrel. Not even close to
the piddly couple of bucks that oil has gone up recently.

People spend less of their income on energy today than they did then as
well. Even with the recent increases taken into account.

GWB won't be running for re-election anyhow.
