The run up in prices during the BUSH II admin was in partial the spark that set off the tinkerbox economy the banksters had created.
Bush II was not responsible for that price spike, neither was he truly responsible for the collapse in prices as the worlds economy went into shock.
WE have presidents, kids, not kings
Funny stuff how things work when a president just with a stroke of the pen will bring down oil prices automatically. When Bush lifted the offshore drilling ban oil prices came down by 6.00 the next day or was it within a week.
