I never stated that specifically capturing Osama would be a bad thing in itself - what i was trying to get across is that there's been so much talk about the Bush camp using it as an election tipper that it wouln't look as good in the eyes of many if he were to be captured like a week before the election........

Gas prices - also didn't say them falling would be a bad thing - but when used in the way that they are using these things - that's not good - they'll just go right back up again and then continue to climb...I dont care what little bone Bush throws my way....I know he still could give a rats ass about the majority of American people.

I just paid $2.05 for unleaded tonight. I know it's that high in other states all the time, but that's almost unheard of here. Just this afternoon it was around $1.80, now all of a sudden it's up $.25????

Sure-he'll let the prices go up and then it looks even better when they fall-sorry to be so cynical but Bush brings that out in me. If he had no connections to the oil world I wouldn't be saying anything...
