    who is to blame

    Is President Bush to blame for our country problems! I have seen America go down hill in the last eight years. The price of gasoline has risen 200% in the last eight years. I can only comment on the high cost of home fuel. The cost of oil has risen about 250% in the last eight years.( one thousand dollars per tank full 275 gallons compared to Two hundred Seventy Five dollars per 275 gallons) I am sure the price of nature gas has risen out of control. The oil companies are making record breaking profits and claim the high prices are not there fault. It seems know one wants to take responsibility for the problem. I feel the only reason we are not in a bigger Great depressions is because of the safe guards that were put in position so it would not happen. Those in the end may not even help! The president has gotten away with so much wrong doing while in office and yet he remains in office why is that . The Vice President shot a man while out hunting and lied about it and he stays in office? The next president is going to be burden with to many problems to be inexperience like Obama Barack. Lets awake up America before it is to late
