Don't forget what I wrote, I said "in part". Doesn't mean it's all because this year hurricanes have been quiet, but "in part". In addition, the OECD and OPEC did is part too, which the USA isn't member of the latter, thus no power on the price they export to us, sadly.

Another "in part", the fact that the Iranian nuclear crisis as calmed down, them(Iran) they are part of the OPEC, in other words, Iran holds heavy cards when it comes to the worlds oil price, believe it or not, or like it or not.

Therefore, many "in parts" make up for the oil prices you see lately, even here in Canada the price as dropped. My point is, it's not only a single leader who will decide on the oil price. Sure, Bush can help is country by doing this and that, but not by much, it is only another "in part" that helps.
