Democratic Party Chairman Terry McAuliffe told the Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) on Tuesday that the president "hasn't lifted a finger" to hold down gas prices because of administration ties to the oil industry.



Perception is reality unless we are told otherwise! It is time for Bush to speak on the price and put pressure on those companies who are making record profits at the expence of the general public by keep the supply of refined products at a minimun. We have never seen such a high spike like this before! The pres. needs to start using his pulpit to speak on this issue that can possibly put us back in a recession insted of trying to keep all of the information secret from his and the v.ps energy summit. No action by this administration is the same as putting the stamp of approval on what is going on, all at the cost of our fragile economy!

Please explain:
I thought that the Democrats want to reduce fuel consumption.
Higher gasoline prices reduce gasoline consumption and force people to buy more fuel efficient cars. Higher prices make alternative energy more competitive.
So why are the Democrats complaining. I really don't think they know what they want.
