Do we want return to Clinton years?

You can cut and paste from promotional sites for clinton all you want. His economic policies had nothing to do with the expansion. His lack of doing anything kept the expansion going until he raised taxes and sent it into a downward spiral though.
Jeez, wipe the dna off of your chin and realize that your cut and pastes show no evidence of what he actually did, and only show that he was there at the right time.

The Why of Chokingly High Oil Prices: Bush Together with Saudi Arabis spell disaster for America! PART I
There was a time when the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) controlled by Saudi Arabia and under the pragmatic thumb of Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani, would have opened wide the oil spigots in the face of sky high prices and a looming U.S. economic recession. The kingdom's wily old minister wanted to maintain a balance, siphoning off just enough out of consumer's pockets to keep the kingdom in opulent palaces and extravagant gift items for U.S. Presidents -- all without strangling the egg-laden Yankee goose that made the royal family's life both fabulous and secure. Then too, no one in the oil patch wanted prices so high as to make the search for alternative fuels economical.
How quaint such reasoning seems today with Ali-al Naimi running the Saudi oil ministry. The U.S. economy is tanking (literally) with oil prices having hit an unthinkable new high of $126 a barrel all the while with OPEC thumbing its nose at George W. Bush's lame plea to his very dear friend, Saudi King Abdullah to pump more oil. This in spite of being the recipient of the showy piece of neckwear that comes with the King Abdul Azziz Order of Merit and all the kissing and hand holding and weapons package procuring during his last swing through the Middle East.
The Saudis account for about a third of the cartel's overall production and are considered its defacto leader. Furthermore based on updated information from those certainly in the know, namely senior Saudi Aramco officialdom, reserves may be as much as three to four times the generally recognized 260 billion barrels (please see "Oil Innovations Pump New Life Into Old Wells" NYTimes 03.05.07). Current Saudi pumping capacity is understood to be at least 11 million barrels, perhaps a great deal more depending on whom you ask, or achievable in relatively short order were there a willingness to do so. Yet no help has been forthcoming from our dear old friends. Actually the market is being supplied with some 200,000 barrels less a day than was pumped and shipped in January.
We have all been endlessly informed by the oil producers and their allies why prices are where they are. The dollar, peak oil, geopolitical tensions, booming world demand, difficulty in accessing oil, refinery capacity. The litany has become familiar. We hear less about a teetering American economy, slowdowns in other industrialized countries weighing on oil consumption, the potential impact of new discoveries such as those in Brazil, warmer winter weather and on. The background music on both sides of the issue continues unabated.
The truth is much simpler. OPEC is manipulating the global oil supply just to keep prices high. It does it by taking oil off the market. Whether it is also actively impacting the price of oil by manipulating trading in oil futures either directly, or by individual members, or through surrogates and/or straw men on otherwise opaque commodity markets is an open question. What is known is that the cartel pulled back 1.7 million barrels a day of supply early last year after the Bush administration, in effect, gave producers its implicit blessing to push prices up from their then languishing $49.90 a barrel.

The republican party seems to believe the American people are deaf,dumb,blind and stupid!
Bush and many other high ranking politicians just keep on saying things that are not true so many times that some people give up on refuting them!
No weapons of mass destruction!
Saddam is long dead!
The Iraqis have a new government!
Time to let them sink or swim,we have done all we can,and if they won't stand up and embrace their own government we need to let go of the reins and save our own men and women!
McCain is a wannabe Bush!
His policies and beliefs will only sink this nation deeper into the morass of failure and lies of the present administration!

Maybe preaching to us about morals???

PART III
To add insult to injury the administration's resident "Heckuvajob Brownie!" Energy Secretary Sam Bodman stated unequivocally only a few days ago that he would continue to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (STP). Then with further studied insight advised us after heart to heart discussions with that other dysfunctional government agency, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), that he was convinced there was no reason to suspect manipulation was the cause in whole or in part in determining the price of oil and its derivatives as traded on the commodity futures exchanges.
Meanwhile, the United States continues to pick up the $100 million plus-a-day tab to protect Gulf oil shipments and Saudi Arabia. Just days ago Defense Secretary Gates pride fully announced sending our second and newest aircraft carrier through the Straits of Hormuz as a "reminder" to Iran. Reminding Shia Iran of what exactly? Certainly not least to think twice about aggressing against Sunni Saudi Arabia. This, all the while we are continuing negotiations with the Kingdom to permit us to arm Saudi Arabia with our latest and most effective weaponry.
George Bush may still be enamored with Saudi Arabia and its royal family. But, as our so-called friends immutably watch our economy sink into recession with its growing and punishing impact on households across the nation, and untold hardships being visited on developing economies around the globe, it's clear that the price of Mr. Bush's friendship has become frighteningly expensive to us and the rest of the world.

<quoted text> Your President Bush Knew that the 9/11 attacks where going to happen, He made it happen,That's why none of his right hand people were in their offices the day it happened he made sure of that. He had the Laden family hid here in the United States,then after it was over he rushed them to a plane and got them out of the United States he made darn sure that none of his people were killed. He sat there in that school house for 7 minutes reading to those little kids after he was told about the hit on the WTC.American airliner flight 11 & United airliner flight 175 went into the WTC, American airliner flight 77 went into the Pentagon,United airliner flight 93 was aiming for the U.S Capitol Building,if not for the Hero's on that flight it would have hit its mark, but for those brave people that lost their lives on that flight it crashed near Shanksville Penn.A total of 2,998 people losted their lives that day, and 6,291+ people were injured, and 24 people that losted their lives that day their bodies were never found so their family never got closer for their loved ones.Oh yes we want another Republican in the White House I think not. For ever since Bush has been in the White House he has done nothing but cause lives to be losted and destruction.So only you would want that, As far as I'm concerned you and Bush caused the terror attacks that caused so many lives to be losted. So I guess you will have to live with that for the rest of your live,which it sure does not seem to bother you in the least.So you go right ahead and try to sale your Bushes good doings,because there are alot of us that just want buy it.For we know the truth.

Bush just asked them nicely and the Saudis didn't even have the decency to tell him to his face they had no intentions of increasing output.
So much for the Michael Moore theory of the love fest that goes on between the Bush"s and the Saudi's.
OPEC is on course to net 1 trillion dollars in 08.
They know(thanks to the likes of Gore&Kerry)the U.S. S.P.'s will pay anything for foregion oil and will block any viable alternative fuel source while throwing America under the bus.
