Its called greed. Pure and simple. Expecting this administration to do anything about it is just spitting into the wind, as they are from and part of the energy industry. Remember daddy bush gave junior three oil drilling companies, keep him away from the family businesses. Junior bankrupted all three and never found any oil drilling in Texas. Condi Rice has a super tanker named after her, and you ask why gas prices don't come down as fast as they go up. GREED, at the expense of everyone else.
