Biden: Oil prices cost of Bush failures
Source: AP

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Presidential hopeful Joe Biden says New Hampshire residents can thank the Bush Administration for the high cost of oil.

He says the president is continuing a flailing policy toward the Middle East.

Biden is escalating his criticism of the temporary increase of troops in Iraq. In recent days, Biden has called the move a "fantasy" and said there is no evidence it is working. Biden now says such efforts are making oil more expensive. He says uncertainty in Iraq and Iran are adding an extra $30 a barrel. Oil prices are now at $100 a barrel.

1. I think Biden may be right on target on this.
And if for this very reason alone, Bush should be impeached. His irresponsible and financially devastating policies are hurting every American citizen who uses oil.

IMPEACH!

3. Bin Laden got his $100 wish
'member when everyone thought it all crackpot and stuff that Bin Laden felt that oil was wayyyyyy under priced and should be selling for at LEAST $100/barrel??? member how Bush and Cheney and Congress and the assholes that said the Iraq war was only going to cost $3 Billion dollars, IF THAT, because in actuality it was going to pay for itself. and member when those same assholes said they would never let Bin Laden win and let oil go to $100/barrel. and member when traditional media called me, you, the entire Democratic Underground, traitors, "the looney left" and terrorists sympathizers.

member? good, because no one else has!!!

4. They remember. Don't fool yourself. They remember. They just
don't give a damn. They live in a fantasy world where bush** is a great world leader and the US is still respected and looked up to throughout the world.

Reality bites.

6. Bush policies are working perfectly
It is just that these are policies are not to keep the price of oil low - they are to keep the price high. It is exactly what the oilbarons want - and Bush is thick as thieves with them.

I would not say the policies are failing - they are doing what they were intended to do. They ARE failing the american public - but that was never the intent.

8. Failed oilman Bu$h makes good!
At least all of the oil cronies get to pad their pockets even more. The cakewalk that was to be Iraq was going to be our client gas station state, but what the heck. The same people get the money coming and going. Solar power cannot be developed fast enough!
