You seem to forget that the president has little to do with oil prices as they are controlled by the commodities/futures market more than any other factor. Oil and gas went way up because of Katrina. Sure, Katrina may have had some effect on production in the Gulf but it had nothing to do with production in the Middle East. The fact that people could profit of higher prices in the commodities market steered the price upwards.
