Crony capitalism is a pejorative term describing an allegedly capitalist economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between businessmen and government officials. It may be exhibited by favoritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, and so forth.
Crony capitalism is believed to arise when political cronyism spills over into the business world; self-serving friendships and family ties between businessmen and the government influence the economy and society to the extent that it corrupts public-serving economic and political ideals.

It's simply not polite to take potshots at a lame duck presidency.  Besides, gas prices have dropped two bucks since it became clear that the GOP was out of the White House next term. What more do yo want?

Yes, evillll (while at the same time stupid and idiotic) genius Bush gave the signal to drop the price of oil on the world wide market. Now that the savior is in, nothing will ever fluctuate like that again, he will control all, even mood swings. As a matter of fact Bush is so evillll that he waited until after the GOP got beat before he ordered the cronies to drop the price, thereby helping the Republicans in the election (wellll, OK that didn't work as he planned I guess because everyone was so enlightened by God and the clergy, and the witches of the media.)

This of course was all done while he conferred with the elders of Zion and got the OK on the protocols, plus he had help from the Trilateral Commission, too.

I bet Obama is on the list for new sidewalks too......
