Except that anyone who's researched this knows that the oil companies' profit margin has actually dropped in the last few years. If you want to blame anyone for this nonsensical situation, I can think of two places:

(1) oil speculators, who manipulate the price for profit on Wall Street

(2) the White House, whose little foray into Iraq destabilized the region so much that prices, by necessity, skyrocketed. Remember that in November.**

**Come November, Americans need to remember that the two greediest, most corrupt political machines that ever disgraced this planet are the Democrats and Republicans.  To vote for one or the other is to say   "I deserve a government that does not care for the people and only exists to make money for big business."  Americans need to realize that the politicians who are sending their children to die are receiving money from the companies who are profiting from the war and our continued involvement over there.  Only a full housecleaning, routing out all the vestiges of corruption that these two greedy, power hungry, criminal gangs have entrenched into all levels of government will free Americans and give them their government back.  A vote for ANYBODY OTHER THAN A DEMOCRAT OR A REPUBLICAN IS NEEDED THIS FALL.

That is exactly how bad this is.**
