Found this link, apparently he was on Saturday Night Live with a phony "presidential" message. I thought it was funny.

"But I have faith in baseball commissioner George W. Bush when he says, "We will find the steroid users if we have to tap every phone in America!"

Hilarious!

That was funny!
The best line was about fixing global warming. Did you know that "the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, that for the years 1998-2005 global average temperature did not increase (there was actually a slight decrease, though not at a rate that differs significantly from zero)."

all seriousness aside.....naw, really, I would like to know what things ANY president could do to get the price of gas down.
Can anyone pressure APEC and have any results?
If we had more rigs in the USA, wouldnt that oil be cheaper and put pressure on the other oil producing companies?
What could Bush do, by himself, to force down gas prices?

I say this because everyone is blaming high prices on him. How is it his fault? What did he do or not do?

Bush could help somewhat by championing getting our own oil and building refineries. But there really isn't much else he can do. As Dr. Thomas Sowell said in a recent article:
"The very politicians who have piled tax after tax on gasoline over the years, and voted to prohibit oil drilling offshore or in Alaska, and who have made it impossible to build a single oil refinery in decades, are all over the television screens denouncing the oil companies. In other words, those who supply oil are being denounced and demonized by those who have been blocking the supply of oil."

Here's a link to the entire article.
