Average Fuel Prices

[Don Roley]

Right, sorry about that. My point is this: I just don't understand why, whenever we discuss some current unpleasantness, like high gas prices, or the disintegrating situation in Iraq, or Korea, or a pedophile Congressman, someone finds it necessary to say, "Well Clinton did this!"

Well, perhaps you should have read what I wrote instead of concentrating on the word Clinton. Here is is again.

Well, if you think the goverment has much of an affect on prices, you should try to remember when Bill Clinton released a good portion of the strategic reserve to try to bring down prices just before Gore went up against Bush. It did not work.

If you pay attention, you will note that my post was pointing out that the one attept that a president made to lower gas prices failed. Even releasing a good portion of the strategic petroleum reserve, Clinton was unable to lower gas prices. So the idea that somehow someone in power could get prices to lower in a less visible manner is somewhat silly.
