What are you complaining about?
A significant amount of the flak that Mr. George Bush copped during (at least the latter half of) his tenure was pointed at rising oil prices. But just like any good boy would do, he seems to have ensured that as he leaves the playground today, oil prices are all back in almost the exact same places that he found them in on entry. Irony.

Not entirely, mate. THey used to be something like $12 when he started out.
But ah well, oil prices are too fucking low to be good for my job security! :(
Uh, oil was trading in the mid 20s when Bush was innaugurated, or something in the mid 30s in 2008 dollars. Oil hasn't been near $12 a barrel since the mid 1980s, in either real or nominal terms (unless you are calculating real prices in 1920s dollars).
