"Four years ago, when he was running for president, George Bush (news - web sites) said 'what I think the president ought to do is ... get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say, we expect you to open your spigots,'" Kerry said.


"Today, four years later, with gas prices at a record level, we're still waiting for George Bush to make that phone call."

4. Oh, I know. I was just using it as reference for Bush's comment in 2000.

Back when he bitched about Crude Oil prices being too high at 25-33% of that.

5. Nows the time to expose this administration for the crooks they are!

"There's no shortage, there'll be no shortage, and we are willing to meet demand as it rises," Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Nuaimi said Sunday in Abu Dhabi.

But Kerry vowed "I want America's energy future, I want America's security to be in the hands of Americans and in our own ingenuity, our own innovation not the Saudi royal family or others around the world."
