See who's making the money from oil

LET'S NOT BE CONFUSED BY THE FACTS HERE

What we saw yesterday in George Bush's speech on gas prices was rank, pure capitulation. Pandering to the ignorance of the American people. Not one sign of leadership. Just a whimpering submission to the softness that is decaying the American spirit. There's George Bush yesterday sounding more like Jimmy Carter than like a president who is leading his country in a war on terror.

Why these harsh words? Because Bush took the easy way out yesterday. He bowed to the demagoguery of the Democrats and some Republicans. He ordered price-fixing investigations of the oil companies in spite of the fact that there is not one single shred of evidence that any collusion or price fixing is taking place. Over the years there have been many of these investigations. Not once -- not one single time has one of these investigations uncovered any evidence of price fixing by the oil companies.

This was a time for Bush to lead. This was a time for him to step in front of the American people and tell the truth. Educate them! Instead of trying to address the ignorance of the American people on the issue of gas prices, he pandered to that ignorance.

For starters, the president could have told the American people that the federal government doesn't exist to solve every problem in their lives. They live in a country where capitalism, free enterprise and economic liberty have created a standard of living that is the envy of the entire world. If you want to rely on the government to address every problem that arises in your life, then you have to be prepared to give up some of those freedom

than oil companies make in profits, by far.
