Bush blames India for high oil price

Reuters

West Point, Va, May 17: US President George Bush said India must develop an alternative to oil for its energy needs, saying surging demand for fuel in China and India contributed to the price increase.

The United States must help fast-growing China and India become more energy efficient, and reduce its dependence on foreign oil by finding alternative energy sources, Bush said on Monday.

"It's in our economic interest and our national interest to help countries like India and China become more efficient users of oil," Bush said at a Virginia processing plant that makes "biodiesel" fuel out of soybeans.

"That would help take the pressure off global oil supply, take the pressure off prices here at home," he said.
----------------------------------------------------------------
IMO,this all sounds noble BUT, Bush, ever the hypocrite, urges these countries to do what he has been totally unwilling to do for the US. efficiency??? we consume more oil per capita than any other nation nation BY FAR. You wanna talk about glutony.

1. If they stopped sending American jobs there

they might not need as much oil in India

[Pacifist Patriot]

2. Just once. Just once....

I'd like to see that man open his mouth without something completely idiotic or insulting coming out of it. He can't do it. He can't.

[ztn]

12. I sent the to Countdown with Olbermann

maybe he can use it on his "oddball" segment.

what a moron! I'm embarrassed.

[phantom power]

3. Hey, WE'RE the only ones who get to have a middle-class lifestyle!

None of those uppity 3rd-world countries.

[SOS]

26. Hey China!

Quit hogging all the oil. - GW Bush

Gallons of gasoline per capita (1997):

USA - 459
China - 10

28. that pretty much says it all :-)

[ztn]

29. that's 10 more for us!! lol.

[ananda]

4. agog

What about US?

5. Whew, thats a relief!

I was worried for a minute that it was the US consuming all the oil with our SUV's and plastics. I will sleep easier knowing it's all India and Chinas fault. God forbid us changing anything here.

[aden_nak]

6. Tighten your belts, world. 'mur-ca needs to drive SUVs.

I wonder why the rest of the world things we're arrogant pricks.

[Deep13]

7. or else what?

If China and India keep sucking up oil, what's the "president" going to do about it? The USA has 3% of the world's human population, 3% of the petrolium and uses 30% of the world's energy. Anyway you stack it, we are screwed. We are in no position to accuse anyone else of gluttony.

[Avalux]

8. What a silly little man -

"see - we 'murkans need that there oyle more than ya'll uncivilized injuns and slant-eyes; we're higher up on the totem pole. And besides - I said so. I'm supreme ruler of the wurld!"

:puke:

[tk2kewl]

9. Maybe they could use unwanted embryos for fuel.

[hatrack]

10. Yes, India will just use all that beef tallow from their fast food . . . .

Oh, wait, never mind!

[punpirate]

11. Well, at least it's in character...

... for a Bush--blame everybody else.

[Jack Rabbit]

13. What a hoot

China and India have to wean themselves of oil, but Americans don't.

I don't know if that kind of double standard will play in Peoria, but I'd be very surprised if it's received favorably in Calcutta or Shanghai.

If we can help them, we can help ourselves, Frat Boy. We would help ourselves and them an awful lot if we liberated ourselves from ExxonMobil's set of priorities.

[ztn]

14. Peoria won't ever hear it. That's why it remains RED.

This goes beyond the pale....even for Dubya.

[Frederik]

15. Hmm, how about making America more energy-efficient?

I know it's a looney thought but... do you really need a 10-litre V8 engine to drive to the mall?

[gordianot]

16. They also need SUV's in India and China.

What would the value of an American education be without an SUV?

[bunny planet]

17. Unfrigging believable. The US gaz guzzling, oblivious, lifestyle is

non-negotiable but those pesky Asians need to curb their use of our oil. The nerve of those people. They need to conserve.

The hypocrisy is endless, just endless.

[Odonata]

18. It's unbelievable...

so many times we've seen such blatant hypocrisy, and hardly a peep about it!

[MsTryska]

19. who the hell told those

call center jockeys they could use any of Our oil?!



sweet jesus can i hate this man any more?

he seriosuly makes my blood boil.

[ztn]

21. LOL. I just burst out laughing. Sorry.

[ztn]

20. on the other side of world, it goes like this....

"New Dehli, May 28: Prime Minister AB Vajpayee said the United States must develop an alternative to oil for its energy needs, saying surging demand for fuel in China, and in the United States, contributed to the price increase.
India must help fast-growing China, and the United States, become more energy efficient, and reduce their dependence on foreign oil by finding alternative energy sources, the Prime Minister said on Monday.

"It's in our economic interest and our national interest to help countries like the United States and China become more efficient users of oil," Vajpayee said at a processing plant that makes "biodiesel" fuel out of soybeans.

"That would help take the pressure off global oil supply, take the pressure off prices here at home," he said.

oh brother, will it never end!

[Colorado Blue]

22. Oh, this is too funny. Bush should talk about oil - when

he was an oilman he couldn't have found the stuff at an Exxon station.

[flordehinojos]

23. too bad he doesn't blame his mother's pretty little mind--but one day he

will...just kick the can and pass the blame!

[Blue Belle]

24. What a sanctimonious dip shit....

A nation of SUV's blaming the oil shortage on a nation of bicycles... now I've heard it all.

[Rainscents]

25. Lets play blame game... It's everyone elses fault!

[Disturbed]

30. Who feeds this idiot these stupid notions?

You know damn well that he doesn't have the IQ to come up with any ideas.
Someone as stupid as he is feeds him this shit for him to spout out and he has no clue of the concept, as with all of his other dumbass pronouncements.

[ComerPerro]

27. Classic Bush. I love it

Wow.

[many a good man]

31. India has mountains of untapped coal reserves

And its the dirtiest kind of coal, too. Of course that's no problem if your religion rejects the idea of global warming....
