Gas analysts predict that gas prices will reach $7.00 a gallon by the end of July. Many Americans are feeling the full force of the oil industry as gas prices reach $4, and beyond. As of today (5-28-08) the cheapest gas prices are in Tuscon, Arizona, at $3.89 a gallon. This is really starting to affect many Americans, as some have to stop riding cars to school and work, cutting short or even discontinuing their vacation plans due to the high gas prices. The U.S. senate has recently held several hearings with the CEOs and vice presidents of major oil corporations such as Exxon Mobil, and BP. The senate passed a bill to President Bush, which will force U.S. oil companies to lower their selling prices. The president plans to veto (or decline) the bill, which will make the bill of NOuse! But why?, isn’t the president supposed to be helping us instead of turning us into the next Russia? (NO PUN INTENDED). Well, the sad but real truth is that George “Dubya” Bush is an oil baron himself! This means that he buys and deals oil for his own personal profit. He has been doing this since he was the governor of Texas. Let me ask you this, Why do you think he has been do interested in oil in the first place? Why do you think he’s REALLY been doing in Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia? I’ll tell you know, “it ain’t sniffin’ out any Weapons of Mass Destruction” as Senator Nancy Pelosi said recently. These countries are the top three oil producers in the WORLD!  As the U.S. is running out of resources from these countries such as oil, Dubya is going to the countries in the Middle East to literally BEG for oil. Did you know that in the Gulf of Mexico, and along the Southern Coast, we (The U.S.) have over 10,000 oil wells saved up for special resources. But, unfortunately for us, our dumbfounded president, does not want to use these resources. These special resources are supposed to be used at a time of need, and if you ask me, this IS a time of need. I believe that if Dubya used these oil resources NOW, our gas prices would drop drastically, not only helping the working class, but helping out economy (which happens to be in debt with approximately 43 TRILLION dollars). So, technically if Bush was to pass the bill, he would be losing profit, that doesn’t go within 10 feet of the government, it goes straight into his pocket. Now, we all have to agree, with the famous words that the great Uncle Sam gave to us “United we stand, divided we fall”, Currently , we are divided, and we are very close to falling, so please, so our great country can become as close as it can to be a democracy, write to your government, petition, do what ever you can to make our government lower the gas prices. I also ask you to support all of the senators who are trying to help us (not only the adults, but todays teens, the next generation) with having a better economy for a better life in the future. Because of the way that our government is running, we are not a democracy, but a republic (hence the words in the Pledge of Allegiance “I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands…). So, if you ask me, not only is Bush (in my opinion) one of the WORST presidents in the history of the U.S. Presidency, but he has been playing all of us (this means you, and I, and your parents, and all of the other hard working Americans who bust their butts all day, for nothing than a meager salary) for fools since the very beginning of his term, he has played us from the start, thinking of us as nothing more than idiots. As always, if you have any questions or comments pertaining to this or any of my other blogs, please feel free to type it up.
