    # The United States imports 58% of the total gross oil we use. Not ideal, but not bad when you consider we're not allowed to drill in many of the most lucrative U.S. sites (thanks to Clinton).
    # Only 20% of our total imports come from the Persian Gulf.
    # The country we import the largest quantity from is....Canada! Yes, Canada!
    # The other three countries in the top four are Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Venezuela. So, of the four countries from which we import the most oil, two are in North America and one is in South America.

    You guys are IDIOTS blaming Bush for the high price of fuel. its a bigger problem than the president . demand, opec, the world market China buying more now .
    you guys that dont like Bush still wouldn't like him even if fuel was less expensive ,period
    i say if all you liberals dont like Bush move . i think his trying to make good changes as in SS. and many other things. and i was proud to vote for him.
    iam sure if Hillary Cliton gets in the white house everything will be fixed huh ( yeah right)
    We have to come up with alt. fuel sources so we dont have to depend on forgien oil is the bottom line its all about GREED GREED GREED that drives everything and it has over ran our country

    greed has overcome the world, not just the US. Although, the US is probably one of the worst countries with greed. And you're right about me not liking Bush whether or not fuel prices were cheaper. There's plenty of other reasons not to like him.

    Big changes take time, it's not an overnight thing and probably will take longer than 4 years or 8 years. It's a balance no matter how you look at it. Good things do come from bad things sometimes, and vice versa.

    I think aabbccdd needs to lay off the caffeine or increase his ritalin or both geeez.
    If you dont like it, "move" ...what an idiotic thing to say.

    I never said Hillary Clinton would do a better job,I didnt hear anybody say that.
    I just thank the lord that Bush will be done after this term.
    Anybody is better than that bumhole.

    Yeah from what I hear. I guess the delivery routes conflict with the postition of the storm, and deliveries have been suspended until it hits. They say it's to discourage over-buying, I think it's price gouging. This one looks like it's gonna miss us, thank goodness. We almost took a direct hit last year with charlie, the eye came 5-10 miles from our coast and went north to Port Charlotte. It literally cut the island I go fishing at in half.
