John Kerry "quickly seized on [Bob] Woodward's assertion on Sunday that the Saudi ambassador to the United States had agreed that his country would make sure that oil prices did not get too out of hand and would lower them to boost the American economy prior to the election--a decision that would presumably help Mr. Bush politically," reports the New York Times:
"That is outrageous and unacceptable to the American people," Mr. Kerry, the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, declared during a campaign stop in Florida.
Why would lower gas prices be "outrageous and unacceptable"? And why was Kerry warning of this prospect on the same day that, as Reuters reports, "the national price for motor fuel hit a record high for the fourth straight week"? That's like giving a speech about global warming on one of the coldest days in decades. Kerry calls for President Bush to do something to lower gas prices.
Kerry calls for President Bush not to do something to lower gas prices.

You miss the issue entirely.
The question isn't support for or against lower gas prices, the issue is that an under the table agreement by the Bush WH with the Saudis for them to use oil to influence the elections in the US is what is "outrageous and unacceptable". If the accusation were proven true it reflects very poorly on the Bush WH.
You sound like Rosanne Rosanadana on SNL.
