Date Posted: 09:13:31 05/07/07 Mon In reply to: sci guy 's message, "I know! I know!!!" on 03:03:29 05/05/07 Sat Somehow I can't find the word gasoline in that post! Oil prices ARE dropping but gasoline prices have been rising since the Dums took over Congress. So....my question remains the same....how could they aren't fullfilling their campaign promise and what are they going to do about it???????? If they need help, I'll give them a hint in one word.....REFINERIES!!! >Dan Bartlett Caught In A Lie: ‘No One Ever Said The >War Would Result In Cheaper Gas Prices’ >Appearing this afternoon on MSNBC’s Hardball, White >House Counselor Dan Barlett adamantly denied that >anyone in the administration claimed that the Iraq war >would lead to lower gas prices. The transcript: > >MATTHEWS: [W]e’ve been struck by higher gas prices. >That was another promise made, that this war would >help us get cheaper gas — > >BARTLETT: I don’t think — > >MATTHEWS: None of these promises come through. > >BARTLETT: That’s not correct, Chris. The president or >no one else ever said that this war was going to >result in cheaper gas prices… > >MATTHEWS: Ok, so just to make it official, Dan, no one >in the administration has ever said that we would have >cheaper gas because of war in Iraq, just to make it >official? > >BARTLETT: I don’t recall anybody ever saying that, >Chris. > >As Matthews noted later in the broadcast, Laurence >Lindsey – President Bush’s senior economic advisor at >the time — argued in 2002 that the Iraq war would >increase oil supplies and lower prices.
