Traders get their revenge on Bush?? Pissed at what many say are Poor
Policies and Decisions, the traders of Wall Street seem to have found a way to get back and make money at the same time...They rationalize they need it due to losses at the pits during this Bear Market.

Gas Prices depend on OIL Prices and its now at $45 a barrel with no end in sight....result: People are PISSED OFF and BUSH IS TOAST.

The last of the holdouts coming over now...Bushies Base are people who drive and need gas/desiel. They are going bananas and look at Bush as the final blow.

Buh Bye Bush.....

4. Yup, mid 40's and climbing/floctuating...longer it stays there
deeper the damage to Bushies Base.

All across America....People of all stripes are coming out of their political closets and will vote against Bush. Not all but enough to swing the tide from a small win to a Landslide....

Bush has got to be a worried man...Now ///more pressure than ever to deliver a knockout speech....

High Gas prices will be the final straw on the ironic camels back

10. "more pressure than ever to deliver a knockout speech"
I don't think there is any pressure. The corporate media will be falling all over themselves praising his speech, no matter what he does or says.

But, maybe, just maybe a plurality of the voters will reject the media bullshit and the RW spin. It happened after his SOTU flop. The usual suspects chirped how marvelous it was, then they got the public reaction.

There is nothing he could say right now that will win over many voters to the Repugs. Except, "I will NOT accept your nomination...this convention is open."

11. I like that:: "I will NOT accept the Nomination..this convention is OPEN"
That would make some Pubs very Happy and others lose face...very Unhappy....

Oh well, such is life...like a box of apples, never know when a rotten one comes up....

7. It's getting very close
Today's high so far is $44.95.

It could easily exceed $45 by the end of trading today.
