Serious question: when there was a gas cost problem during the term of Bubba and the Hildebeast, I remember some comment about them taking the tax off the price of gas for a few months? Did they actually do this or was it lip service and just a coincidence that gas prices went down after that?

If I remember right, they released some of the oil reserver and it did bring prices down a bit.

I remember what you are talking about. I don't recall congress removing any tax from gas. This was the Clinton $.04 tax that he added to the price of gasoline per gallon. At one point Clinton opened the federal gas reserves which lowered the cost.
