White House 'very concerned' about record oil price

The White House said it is "very concerned" about record-high oil prices but that there was nothing US President George W. Bush could do to bring gasoline costs down quickly.

"It would be wrong of the president to provide false hope to people who think that we are going to be able to have an immediate impact to reduce gas prices," Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters.

"This is something that we're all going to have to work through," she said as Bush travelled to Tennessee for a speech on Iraq and an election-year fundraiser, while oil prices struck a record high of 109.72 usd per barrel.

"The price of crude oil and therefore the price of gasoline is very high and we know it is impacting America's consumers and some businesses especially. And we are very concerned about it," Perino said.

Sorry but I just don't have the heart to rewrite what any thinking American should quickly figure out for themselves.
Why can't the congress or the senate (haha not Bush) realize that PROFITS are what is left after everything you can think of,including that new kitchen sink, has been paid for. Sure the price of a barrel of oil has skyrocketed,thanks to the Bush and Saudi families in collusion, but PROFITS are a totally different thing. The "trend" of declaring the highest profit margin,every quarter since Bush has been in office is either the biggest coincidence in hisory, or price gouging by the oil companies. It is comparable to winning the lottery every three months for 7 years! Even if you have to pay a higher amount for the unrefined product,obviously,undoubtedly, you are refinining the product and then increasing your profit margin before you send it to retail outlets. This is the wonder of unchecked capitalism that is so cherished by every red-blooded capitlist in the world. We progressives and the laws that used to be enforced (before W) call it price gouging and price fixing, if all the oil companies go along with it. We must put impeachment back where it should have started a year ago,on the table. Imagine the harm that has been done in the single year that Pelosi said impeachment was off the table. For all of you IDIOTS that say a president has no control over gas prices, you're idiots. If oil companies know that they may be prosecuted for price gouging or fixing, watch the prices go down at the pump. Because there would be no logical way for them to explain their increase in profits.Ugggh, what a bunch of dingdongs. Hell, a street corner drug dealer can see that scam. As for the increase in the per barrel price, they have admitted it is due to "speculators." Didn't Ken Lay and Enron teach our GENIUS(RICH) congress anything? It is called manipulation.Hell, make ALL transactions on the oil market cash up front and watch the "speculators" fade into the woodwork. It's not rocket science. It's a ponzi scheme that has been around for ever. Until we get some people who are not tied to the increasing profit, in "charge" then it will keep happening. Our president and congress has known for 7 years that they could lower the price of oil, but each one of them is too busy getting rich off of us.

The entire rest of the planet has been paying more than you are now for 30 years that I know of. Where I live the minimum wage is 80 cents an hour and gas just passed five bucks a gallon. You poor poor babies. Isn't cheap gas in the Constitution somewhere?

80 cents an hour is a high wage,unfortunately, in some countries. I have traveled abroad and have been shocked by the per liter price. However, I think you are a liar and just post to cause trouble. If that were not the case then you would probably be incensed by the lying and the control that the oil compnies have over all economies. I made a true statement about profit;how it is calculated and how the greedy oil companies are taking advantage of Americans while our politicians profit from it. If you have a problem with the truth or enjoy blowing your meager earnings ongas. then go fuck yourself, you little troll ignorant fuck.

Sorry about the language guys, but these neo-con trolls are the main reason I come to your site, They seem to be few and far between here.

You really keep your "issues" between yourself and your therapist. You like to play economist? Then try learning something instead of copy and paste opinions. Oh, and try the spell check, some people might actually be impressed with your oh so "intelligent" posts. PS: Even if posters disagree, name calling just shows you for what you really are. You know nothing at all about me, or much of anything else judging by your foul mouth. And I don't think you've ever been out of whatever State you pollute. "Shocked" by the price, that's a good one.

Not to worry md, dubyaD puts up with all kinds of fools, assholes and tilters at windmills with incredible patience, though they do give as good as they get. Now get back on the couch, your hour is almost up.

Be back on the couch in just a minute doc..Hey"compnieman"(LOL),or 80 cents an hour man" or "thankfully", you're computer needs a logic filter on it. Just read your last post idiot. Copy and post opinions? ha, they must have misspelled them too. Lying about having traveled overseas to earn money? Using my spell check button, if it made me sound like half the ass you are, thank God I don't know where it is.you are just a stoopid little 19% (I find that hard to believe also)loser Bushevik. ha ha you're actually going to have to not get caught screwing people over for the next eight years. I don't think you can do it,FOOL.

Ya know md, this was cute for a bit, but me here thinking a foul mouthed fool like yourself would just run out of wind and get tired and fade away ain't going to happen, is it? And I'm sure as hell not mad, just tired of wasting space meant for intelligent discussion, and yes "intelligent argument", which isn't the way you play obviously, so you do this. On your next educational information gathering trip "overseas", come to a place called, La Fortuna, San Carlos, Alajuela, Costa Rica. Ask anyone, absolutely anyone, doctor, baker,candlestick maker, cop, clerk, or....well even you must get the idea. Ask anyone, where Jaxon is, come on over and you can spew your venimous tripe to my face, because I'd really really like to know if you're as obnoxious and foul as you are behind an LCD screen. This is no macho challenge, I'd just like to see. (if you can't get a phrase book and manage to ask the first person you see, "Donde es Senor Jaxon" go to the Post Office and ask the english speaking clerk how to find the owner of APDO 61-4417 and we'll have a brew and continue this rather bland pap. Wally and Clyde, now they can trade insults that are at least entertaining but this is just a waste of space and my time. See ya.

Wow, Jaxon,Copnieman or whatever name you are using for this post, you really showed me what a smart,reasonable but not passionate sociopath you are. Too bad you never, in any of your carnations, made an argument against my original post having to do with the oil companies ripping off every person in this world. Won't your corporate sponsors allow that? too afraid of the truth? I wouldn't care to have a beer or anything else with you, but I would enjoy coming out from behind this screen and knocking your unfettered capitalistic (fat I am sure) ass on the ground and letting you regain your balance at my leisure. Kind of like having a snapping turtle on his back, I have done it a few times Doc, but I am sure I would enjoy your astonishment just a little bit more. If you are too blind to see how the corporation controls us on almost every level and how the oil giants rape Americans with the help from the politicians, then you deserve an eye shutter.Fade away? I enjoy the info and am here daily. Obviously your fat troll ass just posts on whatever site and wait for a bite. That how you got your name "trolling."
