The Fall campaign won't be about gas prices.  By the time Sept rolls around those $3.75-4.20 gas prices will have dropped by $.50 at least.

This rise in gas prices over the past 7 years was to play CATCH UP. 

The oil companies, taking advantage of having two oil men and a GOP Congress, have slowly but surely raised the price of gas a few cents each year.  During the summers they would raise them to an extreme amount, then in the fall, drop them by half the SUMMER INCREASE -- Americans end up thinking, "WOW, a big discount". 

They get us USE to the high prices so that when they drop by a few pennies, we're all thrilled.

Now that Bush and the GOP are LEAVING, the oil companies are making one last pitch.  We'll end up with prices ranging between $3-3.35 per gallon by Nov. election day.

Keep in mind that in 2000 when Bush took office, prices ranged around $1.24 --- YUP a 200% increase in 8 yrs. 

It took 45 years to get prices up to $1.24.

All PRE-planned.

By the way...the economy will be improving by then too.

Guess what ISSUE will be in the limelight?  SECURITY -- again.  Don't forget our UPDATE from the General in Sept on Iraq -- he'll announce troops will be coming home - we'll end up at the level we had in Jan 2007 before the Surge.

Course Bush will announce that THOUSANDS will be coming home by Christmas -- just before election day.

Pre-Planned.
