I'm not a bush supporter but I don't see the gas prices as his fault. There was a great article written about this a little while back. Crude oil is at an all time high per barrel which has a lot to do with the price of gas. The main reason for this is simple. The opec nations have decided to cap the amount they will deliver every day. With the economies of china and countries in eastern europe begining to develop strongly they need more oil because they are still, more than the US, oil reliant countries. This increase in need has brought about more buyers for the commodity market. So with more buyers and the same amount being produced the price goes up. So the price of gas has very little to do with bush ( yes he could release some of the oil reserve we have or choose to not grow it, but if it were up to me I would rather we keep that rainy day ) and it has everything to do with emerging markets around the globe
