Has President Bush made it easier for the oil companies to make billions in additional profits?

Question

In doing so, isn't this an enpeachable offense? For those who say,"how dare you talk about this Prez, look what Nixon did 35-40 years ago with Watergate and Bush and d**k are the most secretive of all US Presidents. So cansidering that Pres. Bush 1st and 2nd and d**k are all lio men, i think it is coceaveable that they are in a position of extreme influence to help their oil brotheren.

Answer 1

Yes, but it's unpatriotic to point that out.

EDIT:  I was being sarcastic.

Answer 2

Yes.  Don't forget Bush and Cheney have a lot of oil stock themselves.  They had secret meetings, days after being sworn in, with all of the major oil companies.  They refused to turn over the notes of these meetings to Congress and appealed it all the way to the US Supreme Court.  Bush and Cheney are making billions off of Bush's War and billions, possible trillions off their oil stock which is held in a so called blind trust.  No way is it blind.  That is why Bush has such a smirk on his face, he is making thousands of $$ per minute.  That is also why Bush gave them billions in tax credits.  Even after their obscene profits they are getting $18 billion in tax credits this year alone.

Answer 3

I doubt he did anything to make it easier for them to make additional billions.  They were making billions before Bush and will be making Billions after.

And despite their billions, oil companies are not the problem.  We pay FAR more tax on each gallon of gas we buy than the oil companies take in profit.  In fact, the oil companies make a normal profit - it there were making excessive profit, eventually (over the long term) additional companies would get in, and profits would normalize. Bush did not increase profits, he did not game the free market system.

What the worst president in US history did was do absolutely nothing.  He ignored the Oil Cartel, he ignored global warming, he ignored the inevitable rise in demand due to China and India and he ignored the dwindling supply.  He ignored it all to fight his war, and now the only thing the moron can say is "drill more".

d**n the Earth, d**n the environment, d**n the future.  d**n the fact drilling as much as possible will barely touch the problem at all.  And now, solutions that will take 10-15 years to implement, which COULD have started 8 years ago, will only start now.

For all that he SHOULD be shot, but unfortunately, he can't even be impeached.  But he will go down in history as the worst US president, with the most detrimental agenda to US prosperity and health, ever.

Answer 4

My answer is positive.

Answer 5

It has nothing to do with President Bush.  Bush wants to LOWER the price of oil by increasing the supply, by becoming independent from OPEC and drilling from our own available sources.  He did not enact the ban against drilling for oil in Alaska, regions of the Gulf and elsewhere, it was Congress, and last I checked the Democrats have been in control of Congress for over two years.  Also it was the Democrats that came up with the severely flawed concept of subsidizing Ethanol production, which has only increased the cost of gasoline and food products.  The oil companies are profiting from the higher cost of oil  and increased consumption worldwide.  They make a certain fixed % profit on every gallon that is refined.  You are buying into the same BS lie that the Democrats and the media are selling to the public, just to get a Democrat into office in Nov.  But when these idiots take over the Executive Branch as well as Congress, begin stacking the Supreme Court with liberal wackos and raising taxes sky high, you will be sitting there scratching your head wondering what happened, and why you are still paying out the nose for everything and getting taxed to death.  Your Democratic leaders WANT gas prices high, and they will not stand for the prices to come down.  If the price of oil were to drop substantially, they would find a way to increase the taxes to a point where it will cause you pain to keep driving, heat your home, buy groceries, fly somewhere for vacation, etc.  The Democrats say "We can't drill our way out of this problem".  Guess what, "Yes we Can!!"  We certainly can't tax our way out of the problem or waste time and money attacking the very groups that supply us our oil (ie, the oil companies).  Their solution will be for YOU to stop using oil (just give it a try, see how easy it is).  They want to restrict your liberties with assinine ideas like lowering the speed limits to 55mph, charging energy companies more that use fossil fuels with the inane "Cap and Trade" laws, of which the increased costs of this flawed program will be passed on to you, the consumer.

So get off the Bush and "Big Oil" bashing bandwagon, start to do a little research of your own instead of listening to the talking heads  of the media (like, CNN, The View, MSNBC, and the like) and get your head out of the sand.
