The Bush Effect: +$100 Per Barrel

The Bush Effect: +$100 Per Barrel

5/21/08, 2:35 pm EST

We’ve reached a crude milestone in the history of the Bush administration.

Oil prices have skyrocketed $100 per barrel since Bush took office.

Oil traded at $32.19 a barrel on the first business day after George W. Bush’s inauguration in January 2001.

Today, oil is trading at $132 a barrel...http://www.rollingstone.com/nationalaffairs/index.php/2008/05/21/the-bush-effect-100-more-per-barrel/

Another milestone for Jr.

1. We've got to pound the image of Bush walking around hand in hand with

the Saudi prince into the consciousness of the voters. Most people haven't seen it.........we all have, but we're junkies. If you want the voting public pissed off, we need to show this ridiculous scene of those two strolling around like high school sophomores in the hallway risking a pda writeup.

4. How about this?

VOTE REPUBLICAN

LOVE, THE SAUDIS

Go ahead and print a few of these love notes and leave them at the gas pump the next time you fill up. Now to find some McCain photos to go with it.

3. What would it take for Americans to fully realize what a

disaster Bush is for the United States and the World?

He should be under "house arrest" until impeachment proceedings could be carried out, followed by trials and convictions for some of the numerous crimes of which is is guilty of committing.

I don't think America can heal itself as long as Bush is allowed to get off free.
