Ram these down republican's throats, please! Please kick and recommend so everyone will see them.

“I think the president ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say: ‘We expect you to open your spigots’ …The president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the price. And if, in fact, there is collusion amongst big oil, he ought to intercede there as well.”

Financial Times, February 2, 2000

► “I would work with our friends in OPEC to convince them to open up the spigot, to increase the supply. … Use the capital that my administration will earn, with the Kuwaitis or the Saudis, and convince them to open up the spigot.”

New York Times, June 28, 2000

► “We're dependent upon crude. … I would hope the administration would convince our friends in OPEC to open the spigots.”

Los Angeles Times, June 22, 2000

► “I think Americans ought to be asking, ‘Where's all the capital we earned overseas after defending some of our OPEC nation friends?’”

Associated Press, March 20, 2001

► “Well, we've got good relations with a lot of members of OPEC. If the president does his job, the president will earn capital in the Middle East, and the president should have good standing with those nations. It's important for the president to explain, in clear terms, what high energy prices will not only do to our economy, but what high energy prices will do to the world economy.”
