Bush is setting up the Saudis for summer's higher gas prices.
Oil Prices fell momentarily in the middle of April. Why? Because we were in turnover between winter and summer.
The need and use of heating oil went down with warmer weather, and the summer driving has not yet begun. When the summer driving begins prices will once again begin to climb. $60 crude is not only likely, but will occur sooner rather than later.
Bush and his 'Energy Experts' know this. The spin doctors need to deflect the higher oil prices from Bush. They need a fall guy. Bush cannot afford any more hits. He is already beginning to be called a lame duck President. Americans are beginning to wonder just what that Secret Energy Meeting in 2001 was about, because American's energy policy is only helping the profits of Big Oil.
Enter the Saudis. Bush is already pointing the finger in anticipation of the higher prices. The Saudis are not responsible for this, but will be blamed anyway.
The rise in prices are tied to two factors. the falling US dollar, and the lack of US refineries. We are at 100% refining capacity. No amount of additional crude oil will change that fact.
This is just one more example of misleading America with half truths and misinformation.
Time will tell all the Truth.
