The oil argument is interesting since those who propose it can not lose. If oil prices dropped, it was about sating the nation's thirst for oil. If oil prices rise, it's about the evil corporations (and hence Bush's) thirst for money.
As evidenced by the first Gulf War where we gained no pricing leverage or additional access to oil, oil is not the big driver of US policy.
Of course, the accusations will remain with attempts to paint it as class warfare and how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Such is politics.
