I would agree with you, except for the fact that absolutely nothing has been accomplished policy wise. Thus, the policies that were in place before the last legislative election are pretty much the same as today. Anything Congress wants to pass, Bush threatens to veto and everything Bush wants, Congress votes down. In terms of policy making, both branches of gov't make up one big lame duck.
I don't feel Oil prices can be directly blamed on either party. Worldwide, countries are facing increased fuel prices due to the Middle East conflicts and OPEC's desire to throttle their output. Americans are getting hit harder (on a percentage increase basis) because the dollar is in the toilet.
Guess those Bush tax cuts weren't so good after all - well aside from grossly inflating the national debt.
