What's up with the gas prices?

All I heard from the left during the past elections is how they were going to get to the bottom of why the gas prices were so high. I'm still waiting to hear why. Maybe it's because OPEC controls oil prices and not Bush. What is really sad is the the government makes 10x more off a gallon of gas in taxes than the oil companies. So where are all the Democrats on this issue? No wonder the approval rating is at 11%.

    If you think your gas is way to high, then go to the UK and see their prices. You may then realise how much better off you are.
