    Exxon-Mobil paid him off by being his biggest sponsor in the 2004 election and by being his 2nd biggest donor in the 2000 election, only behind ENRON, a company of crooks.

    Safety is more important than oil prices. And there is no oil shortage.

    Even China is building up a large oil reserve for an emergency.

    Because we're saving those for a true emergency (like if we go to war and lose all of our incoming oil shipments), and because we don't really have enough refined oil to make a difference.

    Why hasn't the Palosi Congress rolled back the taxes on fuel, oh forgot she did promise to cut gas prices......but instead named a few post offices......

    That's for emergencies. I think he did put a little into the system once, not sure, but that is for a national emergency.

    Who knows. Why was gas only $1.46 when he first took office? He has spreading freedom and democracy on his mind, not on us.

    Why would he? there is no oil shortage.

    because that is all we have and we need it for a emergency not for us to have cheaper gas.
