Personally I don't think is all to blame for this. Don't get me wrong, he made the final choice so it is his fault but he get's ragged on all the time for his oil intrests so I think this is his way of trying to disprove it.
Just my .02 - I still think it's gay and I still think we haven't had a good president in many, many years.

wow i just did some quick math...
if the federal tax was 7 center per gallon, i estimated based on my fueling rates. i put about 15 gallons a week, at 52 weeks per year at 7 center per gallon, thats 54.6 dollars a year. there are 200 million americans.
so the estimated income from fuel tax is over 10 billion dollars per year.
a lot of americans commute and not all americans drive, but this is just a quick figure. they cant ***** about money problems anymore.

Were not gonna get into all the reasons gas prices have been raised, but yes the general republican has been ******* it up ever since they got into office with all the gay bills, and his seeking oil on the middle east. Wasnt it just such a coincidence that once the democrats got into office last year gas dropped down under $2, the first time in 4 years?
Not to mention, the oil companies have been making enough for themselves. Its ******* bull-****, I hate paying out the ***.

So does this only affect future NEW models, or will this be the end of the long-lived Corvette?
I don't necessarily agree with everything that Bush does, but for the most part I trust that he would use his best judgement. And what people don't realize with the war in Iraq is that if we pull out now, or if we had never went in to begin with, the Shiites and their opposing group will start a civil war that will not only occur within the borders of Iraq. It would flood much of the middle east, and THAT's where we'd have a major issue. Oil would be literally impossible to reach if this happened.
But back to the topic, I think this is a stupid idea. I'm glad there are still plenty of 1st-4th gens available on the market, because I have a feeling I won't be buying a new one anytime soon.
