Remember when..........
Back in 1999, when gasoline "soared" to $1.64, there was a guy who thought that was inexcusable, candidate George Bush promised that if elected, we would have substantially lower gasoline prices.

Mr. Bush was critical of Al Gore in the 2000 campaign for being part of “the administration that’s been in charge” while the “price of gasoline has gone steadily upward.” In December 1999, in the first Republican primary debate, Mr. Bush said President Clinton “must jawbone OPEC members to lower prices.”
