The President and his friends
Ultimately I think Zandru got it right. High oil prices do help one of Bushes primary constituencies. To believe Bush is seriously asking for lower oil prices is to believe he actually cares more for the country than his own sweet ass and his friends. I don't think so.
Politically it does look pathetic. I do not have any idea what Bush was thinking going over there and appearing to beg for lower gas prices. If it was an attempt to perform the "look I'm fer the little guy" kind of shtick, it failed miserably and Hillary properly gouged him on it.
