You have to admit , it really happened !! Now if only the Democratic led Congress would follow , you'd see it fall even more ....

David S.4:27PMJul 23rd 2008

Well, I guess a president with a whopping 28% approval rating needs to take credit for something in any desperate way he can find it. So, what the hell, I'll give it to him.

JOHN5:05PMJul 23rd 2008

Someone just sent me this link to a comprehensive video covering Barack Obama. In it...is a complete history of where he came from, what he thinks, things he's said (in his OWN voice) and I'm sure he hoped that they would be lost and forgotten forever, but someone has captured them and put them on this shocking video for all to see and hear. It is called "Connect The Dots."Please watch and listen to this video and share it with others. It is the only way we can wake people up in time and try and stop this "Changeling" from overtaking the White House in November.God help us all...!!!http://www.eyeblast.tv/Public/Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036

This President, throughout his term, has had to have plans a through e in order to protect America as the liberals in congress challenged one plan after another.He has succeeded time and again,even as they railed against him, and literally called him names, and made false allegations. The closest I can see to him, is a man named Mccain, I'll by God take him. If we drop our guard again, as we did in the Clinton years, be assured,THEY WILL COME.

Lol lol lol lol lol lol lol -------- McCain has Always voted Against offshore drilling; easily verified through his records. The only other consistent pattern he has shown is his lack of support for our veterans. ... According to this candidate, Bush and this administration had no control over the price of oil; ergo, was not responsible for the rise in prices (of course, Obama was)... now how in the world can he claim our current administration is responsible for a decrease, through a means he has always opposed? -------- Why will they not insist the oil companies use the land, known to be replete with oil, which they already carry the rights to drill??? I have yet to hear a comprehensible answer to this question...

Crystal5:37PMJul 23rd 2008

What ever the reason... it works for me!

Chumley5:39PMJul 23rd 2008

McCain's an idiot. The price of oil dropped because of a drop in demand and fears about a further erosion of the US economy. When McCain stated that "I know nothing about the economy", he was dead on.

Pete5:41PMJul 23rd 2008

Mark,

What is your take on the issue? Do you feel Senator McCain's claim here has merit?

iynaroc025:42PMJul 23rd 2008

Now I firmly believe John McCain is delisional. So, he really believes Bush drove down the oil prices. How can anybody think that oil prices dropped because of Bush's lifting of the ban that wouldn't produce any oil until congress lifts their ban and even then would take 7-10 years to see any oil. I hope he remembers to give Bush credit when the price starts going back up again. The real reasons oil prices started coming down are because people are driving less, China put a ban on people driving their cars because of the Olympics, traders and speculators are dumping their holdings and taking some of their profits, the hurricane never happened as anticipated, Nigeria's oil is more than being expected, Obama's trip to the middle east has calming effect, OPEC is working on increasing supply and the list goes on. Unless Bush is God, then McCain is just full of it as usual. If Bush is smart (oh well), this is a good time to release the oil in the Strategic Reserve and further depress the oil market and then refil the reserve at the depressed price. That's what the democrats and Nancy Polesi have been asking Bush to do, but him and Mccain are in lockstep in opposing it.

Felton Marans5:56PMJul 23rd 2008

The only thing Bush has casued is a big pain in my rear which the dtr says will go away once that
j-rkoff is out of office

mike6:00PMJul 23rd 2008

george w. bush has been blamed for everything but the lindberg kidnapping. but if the lifting of the moratorium caused the price of oil to go down, then it stands to reason that the moratorium was a principle cause of oil price increase in the 1st place. remember, it was one bill clintons last acts as president to close ALL of ANBR to oil exploration....

C. Thompson6:58PMJul 23rd 2008

If this indeed is the case, Mr. Bush needs to be convicted of gouging the American public for a very long time before making this decision. You can't take credit for a solution when you are the main cause of the problem, Mr. Bush.

jerrry7:00PMJul 23rd 2008

Bush gets credit for the $20 per barrell price drop of the last week.

But I am also giving him credit for more than hundred dollar increase during his tenure

Gary7:03PMJul 23rd 2008

David S.- "Well, I guess a president with a whopping 28% approval rating needs to take credit for something in any desperate way he can find it. So, what the hell, I'll give it to him." ==========================================
Thanks David...I'm sure he appreciates it. Good thing Bush doesn't act according to "approval ratings' like Hillary and Obama do...it's refreshing to know that Bush stands his ground and doesn't cave to the opinions of an extremely ignorant American public. The fact that you even mentioned "approval ratings" tells me that you are one of the "tell me what to think" sheep that the demohypocrats love so much.

C. Jenkins7:44PMJul 23rd 2008

David S,

Don't be fooled, the word is out that we were going to dip into our reserves, in addition we are now making an effort to conserve fuel.

Off shore drilling would not be effective in the world market for many years, therefore, this could not have had an influence on the price reduction.

John McCain has just lost his mind. He accused Senator Obama of being the cause of the high cost of fuel. What can you do with that one? Desperation, Fright or Senility????

Gary: "tell me what to think" sheep ???

You've had your head buried in the sand too long my friend. Just the way Bush wants it. You are ASLEEP. Unconscious. Unevolved.

Wake up & educate yourself before you speak.

jn8:04PMJul 23rd 2008

Yeah, Mike. ANWR was closed down by Clinton BECAUSE THERE IS NOT THE OIL THERE THAT THE REPUGS KEEP CLAIMING. Repugs = spoon-fed dipsh-its.

jn8:05PMJul 23rd 2008

Yes, McBush, support King George in all his efforts to make himself look good now that he's leaving office. All hail King George. NOT BUYIN' IT, Loser.
