sure maybe some things they do may influence, but to blame a president or office on oil shows ignorance
except it was bush's fault.

in 2002, bush purchased 50 million barrels of oil to fill up the national reserve from private refineries. this action caused the price of barrel of oil to nearly double overnight.

then he invaded iraq which took over 1 million barrels of oil per day offline which caused prices to soar.
