if it's ok to blame any president about high oil px's as was done from 04 - 08, why can't it be asked what the heck is the guy in wash dc doing about it now?

I've said in other threads that I really don't think President's should or can be held accountable for oil/gas costs. The only reason I singled out Bush is that he made it a campaign issue by stating that his close allegiances with Texas oil companies could only benefit the country. He also used it as some half assed justification for the war by stating that we will be paid back handsomly in oil for our costs incurred. Has that happened?
