Bush (What An Idiot): 'Increased Saudi production wouldn't help us anyway'
YOU SIR, are THE PROBLEM, kpete

Saudi oil output hike would not solve US problems: Bush
Published: Saturday May 17, 2008

US President George W. Bush said on Saturday that a hike in oil output by Saudi Arabia would not solve American energy problems.

"It's not enough, it's something but it doesn't solve our problem," Bush told reporters in Egypt's Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

"Our problem in America gets solved when we aggressively go for domestic exploration. Our problem in America gets solved if we expand our refining capacity, promote nuclear energy and continue our strategy for the advancing of alternative energies as well as conservation," he said.

2. "continue our strategy for the advancing of alternative energies"
Not necessarily the same as "continue our strategy OF advancing alternative energies," is it?

Shhheesh. What a pathetic peckerwad.

6. Bush does not give A FROG'S FAT ASS about Americans, or their struggling with gas prices....
.... Higher revenues for the Saudis are good for the Bush family. His "pleading" for relief was all for show.

9. His patriotism is not up for review
In the US the "leaders" are considered above the fray. I'm not sure how sitting on his ass in a classroom, deceiving the public about Iraq and ordering war crimes can be considered patriotic conduct.

8. How about Bush's non-existent policies to promote a strong dollar?
Think that might make a difference? Yet it seems that absolutely no one in the press is asking ChimpCo that question. The dollar buys less on the international market than it used to, less than half of what it bought in Euros when Bush came into office. That includes the dollar's power to buy oil. Has Bush urged the Fed to stop lowering interest rates, which has driven the dollar down? Has Bush engaged in a policy to stop federal government borrowing, spending, and deficits for wars of aggression?

10. OMG the asshat ALMOST told the truth
Saudis producing more won't solve the problem. If the saudis produce more then that's just more oil the American buyers have to store away and hold off the market to keep the price up.

11. ha ha ha ha what a major embrassment he is to our Country.
How pathetic that the Saudi Leader turned down his request for more oil and now he is trying to spin this into a we don't need more oil speech.


Can we just get him out now, Jan 20th is to far away, he needs to go somewhere and play golf
