IMO Bush's policys are the lesser of two evils compaired to Kerry's past voting record as senator. He never saw a tax increase he didn't like and he has proposed $.50/gal tax increase. His military policys would destroy our armed forces. We are in a global economy like it or not and the President has little or no control over other competing economys. We are competing with countrys like China for crude oil and I don't see the president's policys [whoever he may be] that is going to have any effect on the long term price of crude. I suppose this is the price we pay for the wish we got when trade expanded to countrys that weren't players 10-20 years ago.
