Remind me again - what was the $$ per barrel of oil

[zbdent]

at the time that George W. Bush promised to "jawbone" with the A-rabs to bring oil prices down?

If he was looking for a "jawbone of an ass", he didn't have to leave the room to find one . . .

1. About $25 a barrel

See number 7 here:

2. Huh...and that was in April when a barrel was about 50.00,now nearly 70.00

3. $28.00/bbl

Nothing like a war with the #2 supplier of oil to depress availability and create uncertainty in the futures market.

I'm beginning to think this was the real agenda all along.... Maximizing profits for the House of Saud and the House of Exxon-Mobil.

In which case, Cheney-Bush have been extremely sucessful.

4. True - in the speech dumping on Clinton/Gore it was $28 was too damn high!

5. Not surprising

Can you name one thing GW said he would do that didn't go in the opposite direction?

6. He replaced "jawboning" with "hand holding"

and look what it got us.

If ANY Democratic President were seen strolling hand-in-hand with an Al Qaeda-coddling-gas-pump-gouging Saudi Prince - they would be tarred and feathered by the MSM and the GOP.

But if its the Chimp - it's all good...
