Huntsman fumes about gas prices

Maybe you're the one who needs to get a clue.
We don't need the mock-outrage of a super-rich politician. We need solutions, and guess what, they may require changing our profligate ways.
Remember those secret meetings between Cheney and his buddies in the energy industry to draft the energy policy of the Bush administration back in 2001 or so? The Bush administration did not reveal the content of these meetings, if I remember correctly. 7 years later, and the big oil companies have been raking in record profits. Hmmmmm. Energy execs work with an administration from the oil industry to secretly draft the nation's energy policy, and they make record profits. It does not take a rocket surgeon to connect those dots.
I find it incredibly amazing that this administration has been directly screwing us over to facility record profits for their family and friends in the oil industry, yet some of us getting screwed over still support these people. Unbelievable. How corrupt is that, and how dumb and blind are some of these republicans? Bahhhhh!!! These sheep should have their voting privlidges revoked for not voting with their brains.
Demand has contributed to the cost of oil.
Futures speculation has contributed.
The current energy policy has failed to help the cost of oil.
ANWAR drilling would fail to lower the cost of oil for longer than a long weekend.
The value of the dollar has contributed to the cost of oil.
Here is something fun to do. Calculate the cost of operating your automobile, not just what it costs to fuel it. Add up your monthly payment, depreciation of the auto, insurance, taxes and registration, routine maintenance (tires, oil&filter, belts, etc.) and finally what you pay monthly for gas. Divide that by miles traveled, and you will see that large increases in fuel cost affect the operation of your vehicle less than one may think. Unless of course the auto is paid off, or MPG is in the toilet or the stratosphere.

Where was he when gas climbed to $2.00 after Katrina in 2005 and to $3.00 in 2007? Huntsman finally got angry when a price for a gallon topped the $4.00 mark.
Welcome aboard Governor. Now, as our leader, what do you suggest we do about it?
