While it might be fair for Speaker Nancy Pelosi to blame President Bush, and Vice President Cheney, as two oilmen, for the portion of high gas and oil prices caused by the Iraq War, blaming them for the full run-up is both hypocritical and disingenuous.
When has the phrase “Peak Oil” crossed Pelosi’s lips, let alone being clearly explained to the American public by her? Or by Barack Obama, for that matter?
When has either one called for a “Manhattan Project” to address Peak Oil?
The answers, as usual, are “never.”
Oh, and since I don’t like the increased politicization of oil prices by either side in this election, I consider this a pander alert issue, too.
