You forgot to mention George Bush, the Republican oil man, and his orchestrated war in the Middle East for the expressed purpose of driving up crude prices. I know it took a lot of effort to financially destroy America, but I do know this...When Bill Clinton left office, the country was in great shape, plenty of jobs, fairly cheap gas, financially secure, and Bush destroyed this in 8 years. It will take many years to fix if it ever is. My vote will go to Obama or any other Democrat if he does not seek re-election.
