I actually had a very conservative friend of mine claim that we Americans were entitled to cheap gas... I replied, that he had been listening to way
too much mush loosebowels... we have no such right.
I actually find the outrage over the current price of gas rather pathetically funny... after all Carter warned this was in the works 30 years ago...
we had 30 years to change the way we do business but we didn't, we created the SUV and hummer instead.
We've brought it on ourselves and there is no point blaming the Arabs, or Indians or Chinese... the speculators, yes but that is another story.
.25 cent a gallon gas ain't coming back, nor to $2 or #3 a gallon and we might as well stop whining about it and do something about it besides
invading other countries to pillage their resources.
That being said McCain should at the very least know that oil is over $140 a barrel and getting worse and he really should know (or have a general
idea) what Joe Blow is paying for gas and how its making a mess of everything.
After all he is running for president and unless he has blacked out windows, or isn't paying attention its hard not to notice the prices.
