  • WOW!! He really does look soooo damn dumb and just out of touch with politics and how wall street plays a huge roll in the price of gas. Bush is forever a stain on our American history as far as Presidents go. I'm actually embarrassed for those morons who elected him, just cuz he was a republican. asinine people! It's tragic how people will risk our country's well-being just to vote the party line. VOTE FOR THE ONE WHO MOST QUALIFIED, NOT PARTY AFFILIATION!!

  • I like the part where he says "I heard it now", and the reporter gives him that sarcastic nod like "Yeah, very funny".

  • Brilliant statement??? HAHAHA

  • The Young Turds are indeed dedicated Marxists who despise the American way. Far better men than they have died to allow these turds to do what they would be imprisoned or killed in another nation for............ Chucky speaks with a straight tongue !

  • I like AMEN at the end of every singles TYT video, just want to thank you guys who made this possible.

    Gus french canadian

  • Phycology does affect markets and increasing supply does lower prices.The problem is if consumption rises each year oil will deplete quickly no matter how much you find, so its a short term solution.

  • i really hate bush, but this is one time where his logic, if you can figure out what he's saying, is true. the price is reflected in trends and forecasts for oil supply and demand. in a free market system, increasing the supply relative to the demand necessarily decreases prices.

  • Bush is not a king. He doesn't give a decision alone.

    Americans give vote for the party not to a single "GUY"

  • "Now, the debate is over."

    So true. Well done. You made it through the Bush admin Cenk. Take a deep breath.

  • Looking at his history of driving companies into the ground, why won't every conservative just admit that Bush's presidency (not Clinton's) was the cause of our current economic problems?

  • i think Bush was an experiment for the country and 100yrs from now someone will tell us,i think that's what explains him being elected twice.

  • He didnt joke about the economy, he made a bad joke about the special olympics. But your theory is...if something is going on bad in the country the President shouldn't be out and about? President Bush was on vacation in Texas when Katrina hit...so? Also, your taking the Europe thing out of context, he said that there is a staunch Anti-Americanism in Europe and abroad right now. Why? Because of illegal wars that Bush started. Your going to argue that Bush is smarter than Obama? Really?

  • Where did I say the President shouldn't be out and about? I said it's a little immature to go on Jay Leno laughing about the economy when we're in a major recession...

    Saying Obama is smarter than Bush or Bush is smarter than Obama is a dumb argument. Both have done stupid things. Obama insulted Britian by giving Gordon Brown American DVD's that he couldn't even use! How stupid is that!

  • DVD's? DVDs....ok, i gotcha

  • Good job dodging my post lol.

  • I'm confident you're an unsucessful comedian.

  • Bush wasn't on vacation in Texas during Ktrina..... He was celebrating John McCain's birthday with a pizza and the entire Air Force One.

  • He was at McCain's birthday THE FIRST DAY Katrina hit. But all those weeks afterwords, where was he?

  • uhh what? Did u even watch the entire speech?

    oh of course not, u just watch fox news!

  • You don't watch anything other than this mindless left wing garbage. Do you really think TYT is better than fox news?

    Of course not!

  • Fox news which suits the biased political agenda of Rupert Murdoch? Come off it.

  • Didn't the guy JUST SAY "don't get me started on the democrats?" so how is this left wing mindless garbage?

    Just accept the fact Bush is retarded and a horrible president.

  • How can you say this is mindless left wing garbage when he just said "don't get me started on the democrats" I watch this show regularly and this guy rips democrats a new one all the damn time.

    Just accept the fact that Bush was stupid and a horrible president.

  • student usually gets F but got a D this time....HILARIOUS....!!!

  • brilliant statement - 'if had a magic wand'..unbelievable...

  • lol when he says "Low Gas" doesn't he mean "Low gas prices?"

    I hope we don't have low gas with at the crack of a magic wand, that would cause fuel shortages!

  • Cenk, your G. W. Bush impersonations are classic!

  • //Just can't say... LOW GAS//

    lol

  • He also didn't even attempt to answer the question (what's some short term advice to deal with rising gas prices)!! He answered with some crazy gibberish.

  • ----also---you play dumb...you become a dummmy!

    If you dissect and open up the core of the Republican party, it's a screw-up, lying bunch of bastards. Remember Lee Atwater??? Clinton would not have been President if the Boogie man Atwater was still alive!!!!

    Republicans' strategies: People voted for their fear and not their hopes. Inflict so much fear to persuade the Americans people.

    Remember this, Republicans! Life can get even with you at the end. The Boogie man is a clear example.

  • Hi folks, I'm president Bush my fellow Americans, and have to explain how I didn't realize the Oil Companies are ripping everyone off rather than promoting alternative energy sources like wind power.

    See folks, it's like this, a Bushie is too dumb to notice, but not too dumb to get paid.

  • If we can elect numbnuts twice, and then Obama looses in 2012 I am going to be really pissed.

  • Makes you wonder who is making the decisions in the White House. Bush is such an idiot he could not possibly be masterminding this incredible rip-off of the American people and destruction of America.

  • I don't think you have to search much further than his VP.

  • wow im laughing so hard right now!!! lmfao!!!! I love when he says "we have such a stupid president!" ahahahahaaha

  • Yeah, this is definately funny stuff but what's not funny about bush is the deaths he has caused. search youtube for President Bush Is A Murderer

  • He got elected twice because people being crushed by his policies dont vote and people investing in his polices do. And hes a corrupt motherfucker,hes dumb but dont underestimate his money

  • Cenk did you ever VOTE for this guy??!!!!!

  • LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! Funny as hell!

  • Bush sure looks drunk in this video. My GOD this guy is a complete moron. Does he really think they will find enough oil in the US to replace several elephant fields (Ghawar, Burgan, etc.)? He thinks the idiot geologists could not find it, it's all there somewhere but we need a research project to invent some technology to find it for him. What a royal dumbass. He should watch some more teletubbies until he's out of office.

  • Cenk is awesome

  • george w bush doesnt have the intellectual curiosity to learn the facts cuz hes a dumb lazy slacker who was born with a silver spoon and doesnt give a damn about the issues corncerning the american people

  • look up dibold on the net the voting were fixed california proved the voting machines

    were rigged we didnt use the dibold machines

    but a lot of states did like florida so he didnt win with votes he won by being a cheater

  • no shit... you think people wanted him. the republicans are trying to find even more ways to cheat as of now... it makes me sick!

  • SHORT TERM SOLUTION: Allow Iraq to pump oil again!

  • "SHORT TERM SOLUTION: Allow Iraq to pump oil again!"

    Are you joking? Iraq is pumping millions of barrels per day. Use a search engine for 10 seconds!

  • I like this man because he utilizes common sense.

  • why the fuck was he elected twice

    let alone once!!!!

  • its called cheating, something those conservatives do quite well

  • A lot of liberals do it too. But we have been duped by the so called "conservatives" for sure.

    I am not willing to let "them" label me. enough with this infighting. It only serves "them".

    Problem-Reaction-solution....?­??

  • TO IMPEACH BUSH

    -go to kucinichdotus

  • i didnt vote for him so why should i suffer?

  • George Bush is a disgrace for Americans worldwide. If they elect this old republican of McCain, the country is more ignorant or more brainwashed than i have ever imagined. Love America but the government is CLEARLY A TERRIBLE REFLECTION ON ITS PEOPLE. And now hes blaming Dems for offshore drilling near the election when he could of done it for 8 FUCKING years. <TYT keep it up.

  • No some American voted for that cocky ass destructive bastard may be your dumbass voted for him I didn't

  • First of all, we did not elect him twice, he cheated, lied, and stole for votes twice. The Bush-puppet just regurgitates pre-written info,as evidenced by the totally stupid things he says when he is not reciting. The oil companies continue to show record profits. How can we complain about oil prices when we are taking over countries for profit and allowing the degradation of our own country to happen? Screw prices, take the bus, we need to concentrate on getting rid of the criminal gop now!

  • Yeah I mean why isn't all our electricity nuclear, I mean other advanced countries have gotten there, but liberals automaticially nuke bad. The stupidity on both sides of the aisle is infuriating sometimes.

  • Is he struggling with the basic economic principle of suppily and demand? This is just amazing how the hell did we elect him twice.

  • i think we should split the country dems and rep...republicans would eventually die off...i dont want to be in a country with another republican president.

  • American people are good...There government lies to them. Understand American people Do Not Want a War.

  • Then why did Americans vote for Bush twice?

  • Because black people couldn't vote in Florida in 2000, and Ohio in 2004. google "greg pallast stolen elections"

  • The answer to that is found in what the rest of the world tends to think of us ... that some of us are stupid.

  • Simonbribben, You are exactly right.

  • hey amerian dudes just a message to say you re all fat and stupid and have no testcles...just like tom cruise in the film BORN ON THE 4th OF JULY

  • America is a barbaric society. I know. I live here. Our towns favorite sport is going out in a truck and driving around in hte mud. then football. not the soccer football.

  • Sorry dude but your president or queen sucks even worse. We're getting a new one soon. You probably have to live with yours until they die

  • If you are referring to the UK, the Queen is more of an image. She doesn't run the country, we unfortunately have a complete moron for a Prime Minister who is making things worse for us by bringing us into a possible recession.

    If not, no worries...lol

  • America has since day 1 been thieves...

    they go to other countries... steel theyre riches and then build up theyre own country..

    in short.. WHOLE USA is build up by THieves and bloodshed.. :)

    something to be very very proud of ! the Devils country

  • America  is not the devils country

    but it's pretty damn close

    and I live in America

  • Unfortunately a president is a puppet and spokesman, Ours just happens to suck.

  • And this guy graduated with an MBA from Yale university? This isnt about being an expert in oil industry which he should be haven been a CEO of an Oil Company.The guy is just blank.

  • how did he do that beteck123 mate? where they handing them out to rich kids with the morning cornflakes?

    how you can elect(yes i know he stole the elections from Gore and Kerry)a total fuckwit like Bush? and now your beening asked to belive his suscessor McCain is any better?

    god help you all out there in dumbfuckistan(aka jesusland)

  • BUSH = JACKASS

  • Bush sounds like he's been drinking.

  • It wasnt even a hard question.

  • i wish i had a magic wand

  • plm8961: More drilling in the country is not the answer. Boy do the oil companies have you drinking the kool-aid. I bet you don't velieve in global climate change either. More drilling is a short-term solution, like putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound. And how can you blame the Dems? Schwargenegger, Gov of Calif, already told Bush he will not allow drilling off the coast. And he's a republican. So do your research before you hurl knee-jerk reaction invectives along party lines.

  • No, we would not be able to produce enough to be independent on foreign oil. Even if we did, it's a global market so the price would still respond to global events, supply, and demand. Alternative energy works, but it faces a preexisting infrastructure and power structure. It will expand, but we need government intervention to speed up the process both for putting in place existing technologies and for shortening the time to bring new technologies to market.

  • H.L. Machan predicted that one day a moron would day be elected president. Boy was he ever right.

  • H.L. Mencken

  • msnbcRNC: "Three straight days of dramatic declines in the price of oil starting the instant Bush made his speech on offshore drilling. When's the last time that happened?"

    First off, offshore drilling will not increase demand nor naturally decrease the price of either gas or oil nor increase oil supply. It's still over $130 a barrel and gas prices have remained the same for over a week here.

    Secondly, that's Cenk Uygur, a guy with more sense in his ass than you have in your whole body.

  • He's trying to apply Tinkerbell Economics (if we all just believe the economy is good it will come true) to the oil business. Idiot. But what he's really doing is saying to the press: "Shut up. You're making me look bad."

  • You do have a magic wand...it's called the PETER principal.

  • I was thinking ALL of those thoughts and more while I was watching that speech live. And it's like he knows we're all making fun of the magic wand bit, but he KEEPS repeating it anyway...while giggling. He shouldn't be allowed to do interviews, needs to give verbatim speeches written by anyone but him. I just laugh in despair when he answers reporters.

  • He may not be stupid. He may be drunk. We the people elected him twice because of the spin of Fox and the folksiness of Rush, both appealing to the real republican base: the ignorant who are kept that way by their wealthy masters who strangle education and health care by creating resource drains called wars on terror, drugs, abortions, gay marriage, etc. All smoke screens while the average folks get fleeced.

  • dude you rock.

  • Q. "How did we elect this guy twice?"

    A. You didn't.

  • There is psycology in the futures market you ignorant piece of shit, that is part of what drives THE FUTURES markets. After watching this fat ignorant slob, I am going on a diet.

  • Republican languish in their abject stupidity. Not one single success under Bush in 8 years, not one. Everything Republicans touch turns to crap.

    Iraq, the economy, expanding government, diminishing our rights, foreclosure debacle, you name it.

    To make it all the more ridiculous is the fact that Republicans Hate intelligence, culture, the arts, etc.

    Bush is a simplistic fool with simple third grade answers to complex probs.

    See the dilemma?

  • LOL i saw this in the UK on Fox of all places

  • I thought he was an oil man...? He sounds like an idiot. It is time for HHO or brown gas. Very easy to make and store. Good-bye oil fags.

  • mevis, Bush had been set up in the Oil business by Daddy in the 80's and during an oil boom, he managed to run the company into the ground losing millions of bucks and costing hundreds of jobs.

    Hey, he's still at it! Sheer and utter stupidity. Repubes just love stupidity, they have no choice in the matter.

  • micsc50 I'll give you $100 bucks if you can prove what you say to be true. You right wingers pull shit out of yer ass. U also seem to be psychics & can predict the future. The problem with that is 911 happened on Bush's watch where was ur ability then? Or can you only predict in a propaganda manner? Ahh IC! So, we are all waiting, I know I don't have to give up a hundred bucks but it will be priceless to see ur response. Chances are u won't. GAS always goes down during an election CHECK!

  • U-be-suck 911 happened because your boy Bill Clinton was to busy chasing interns around the Oral Office to take the threat of terrorism seriously and you know it!!!The price of gas is high because your boy Clinton vetoed the Anwar drilling bill after the republican controlled house and senate passed it in 1996. The democRats along with 4 republicans have turned down every energy bill that has come in front of them. You democRATs are the problem not the solution.

  • When the fuck will he leave already. Jesus!

  • We didn't Elect him twice, the Supreme Court and Jeb Bush Selected him once, and Diebold Selected him the 2nd time.

  • @USSLIBERTY1 god dam it.. take ur resposibility... NOW u dont like him... 8 years too late

  • APPARENTLY, YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE OIL FUTURES MARKET...

    It's called the Oil Futures Market because it discounts what? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

    It discounts the future, moron. So, what happened 2 days after President Bush announced lifting the ban? Duh. I thought it would take 10 years for oil prices to drop. Isn't that what you morons said? Get an education.

  • When Bush was in his formative years I'm sure he watched the Disney show on Sunday night, where Tinkerbell waved a magic wand.

    And now he is using that analogy. If he could be Tinkerbell, he'd waive a magic wand.

    Come to think about it, there are a number of tinkebells in the GOP, but their magic wands are normaly kept hidden.

  • What an idiot!! Que idiota!!

  • And the last thing anybody wants is a person who admits their own mistakes.

  • "How did we elect this guy twice!?"

    When did that happen??????

  • I wonder which oil companies are going to get the oil contracts to drill here in the U.S. I predict at least one of theese companies. Exxon Mobil Corp, Conoco, Shell Oil, Chevron, and B.P America Inc.

  • You are the stupid one, not the President. His use of the word is correct. There is a belief that the supply is stagnant and demand is rising. This is what is driving the speculation in the market. If we start to increase supply the price MAY go down or STABILIZE somewhat. There is no way to make the price go down.

  • @4951weddel, I agree that the oil market like any market is driven by speculation which involves something called market psychologie. However the supply and demand are not the only thing driving the price up. Also, as he said, it took a while to get to this price, and I remember him saying in 2002 that the rising of oil price was worrying. What has he done about it since then? Nothing! And that's not psychologie!

  • There is nothing he can do if the Congress will not open up our own country to more drilling. The President does not control the free market. Supply plus speculation control the market. People are betting that demand will go up and supply will stay the same, or at least, not keep up with demand.

    However my point was that this moron does not know what he is talking about. He insults the President when he is the one who is wrong.

  • Read "The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder" by Vincent Bugliosi

  • donald duck for president!

  • There is NO plan, no one is saying this is what we need and this how we get it.

    The Administration wants to drill everywhere not as a solution but for a quick buck, once the oil is drained your back to square one.

  • as a second year psychology major, I take offend toward the many people of the United States using the word "Psychology" in every part of he world's crisis. Some called George W. Bush a Nazi, Hell even Adolf Hitler was smarter than this stupid Son of the bitch (17 hours ago)

  • kerry can formulate a sentence... that's already better

  • WTF...

  • dude that was a great vid

    totally hilarious

    im subscribing

  • That's funny Turk. But I have to say that Bush is actually the smartest guy I know (and those smirk imitations were hillarious). He, known as our dumb ass president, got elected once (snatched the first election). And now he can just say anything; the democrats aren't in kick ass mode. If they were, Bush would be irrelevant right now. Goods video by the way.

  • JEWS......WTC. DO THE MATH!

  • ????

  • what are you talking about?

    Bush has been pushing for drilling our own oil for years and the democrats have blocked every effort.

  • He's such a national embarassment.

  • How did me elect him twice? He loves Jesus

  • Cost of Iraq War per year = 100,000 dollars per person in the US.

    That'll pay for all the gas and hybrid cars ever needed.

  • I don't think he's stupid..I think he's just telling us nothing and getting away with it because people think he's stupid because he mangles the american language.

    I think he and his administration talks down to everyone...the Magic Wand or there's no Silver Bullet!

    We aren't trying to kill werewolves or being a magician..we just want to know who's responsible and why you're bullshiting us!

    They can't keep their lies straight!

    That's Bush's weakness..too many lies!

    Put foot in mouth!

  • i hate the fact that everytime bush dosen't have an intelligent comment he makes a joke.... here's a joke for you your administration should be impeached and karl rove and dickless cheney should be in prison for treason

  • actually demand in the usa is down bush is threatening iran thhat is driving up the price back in 2003 they put canadas oil sand as proven reserves of 180 billion barrels and the price still went up if you want the price to go down the auto makers could double fuel mileage which would drive demand down bush knows what he is doing also his dad was the one who put offshore drilling bill this is just to give big oil control of the leases so they will have even more control and it would not help

  • I love your views, however it's important to note that if you really think Bush "Doesnt know anything about oil" and then to later say he is "stupid" implies that he "knows but does it anyway" I think the word you are looking for is "ignorant" but in Bushs' case this proves that he "does" know something about oil.

    The question is "What" does he know?

    I personally think he doesnt care as long as his paycheck from Daddys oil companies keep coming in.

  • *Sigh*

    The only good thing Bush gives us is the ability to rant about him.

  • It's actually easy Cenk. Someone said in the documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 that "you can make people do anything if they're afraid". "The only thing we have to fear is fear itsef".

  • Bush actually isn't dumb and he knows a lot about the oil market

    hes just saying all that stuff to make the people feel better

  • I disagree... If he DID know anything about the oil business he might have been successful at one of the THREE oil companies he was either VP or CEO of, and he never would have gotten into politics and we wouldn't be in this mess right now.

  • wow, for being the dumbest guy.. he sure knows how to get what he wants EVERYTIME. he plays the part veryyyy well is all i got to say..

  • The reason he's still living is that the people that would assassinate him are the ones that support him!!

  • Yea, and look at the guy waiting in the wings.

  • Bush is dumb....but the people around him are Smart!! They're evil...but here's the trick of the Bush Administration!! They'd rather be perceived as incompetent fools rather than evil motherfuckers!! The Iraq War was not a failure...those guys made their dollars!! The big reason that there's so much chaos is there was soooo much corruption!!

  • haha my thoughts exactly someone needs to shoot this jackoff.

  • I just do not see how anyone can defend this kind of blatant stupidity. This is truly scary because it shows you the reality of our so called caring leaders.

  • the word psychology is a trigger for what you may call "brainwashing".

    they supposedly stopped all testing for brainwashing in the 80's after no results were found. they lied.

    they do it, and they do it well.

  • every time he talks, I want to die.

  • wait im sorry but i have to ask where it says turks does it mean turkish turks or something else

  • Excellent! Only, we DIDN'T elect him twice. We didn't even elect him once! AND STILL NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT THE BLACK BOX VOTING MACHINES WITH NO PAPER TRAIL...THE ONES THEY USE TO CHEAT, EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!

  • I can't even laugh anymore, it makes me want to cry that our President is as ignorant as that! How could anyone even begin to understand the mindless rambling? My ears stop-up when they hear pure B.S. coming!! I wonder what would happen if one of the reporters just shouts out "What the hell are you babbling on and on about? Please do us a favor and just SHUT UP!!!" I'm willing to go to jail or be thrown out to have that opportunity!!!!

  • u go boy

  • Wow...just wow.

    People. Voted. This. Guy. Into. Office.

    Unbelievable. I wouldn't put this guy in charge of a freaking petrol pump let alone whole country.

    For any American's still wondering why your economy is in the shitter, why your gas prices are through the roof why and the world sort of hates your country now, the answer is in this video wearing a smirk saying "I am the president".

    Un-freaking-believable.

  • Hey, Dubya has an MBA from Harvard. So  much for an Ivy League education. Lame-brained rich frat boy with connections. Excellent video.

  • I was thinking the same thing!! Did they not teach his ass anything? I have a Bachelor's Degree in Finance from Wayne State University and I know more about the oil market than this jack ass!! WSU is a good university, but NO HARVARD!!

  • who in the f***k vote this guy 4 President...If you know someone who voted for this dumb azz pimp slap they're azz. this is sad, this guy is the leader of the U.S.A ....SAD

  • Who the fuck voted for that troll!!! Oh my god there was no logical reason for voting that fool to be president.

  • Yup...I said it the first time he hijacked the election. I. WAS. IN. SHOCK!!!! Now...8 years later...very weary of the antics.

  • He does have a magic wand, it's just been up his ass this whole time. But now that he needs it, he can't get it out, his fat ass lap dog rove is gone, he can't ask him to fetch it for him. Bush there is absolutely no way for this guy to have any type of legacy. His legacy will be "never again" we will never let this happen ever again.

  • Think. What's been GWB/Cheney magic energy policy this entire time? Take I-R-A-Q oil, since the USA only has so little oil -- 2% of the world total reserve.

    What's the fallback? Drill the USA 2%. End of story.

    While the Euros are going heavy nuclear and renewable and conservation.

    That's Energy Security, GWB illogic.

  • So basically, since gas is so expensive we should just make more?

  • If all Americans become vegetarian for two days a week, we will bring energy and food prices down significantly and slow the climate change. Pass it around.

    CO2 Emissions by Diet

    Mad Meat Eater: 6.70 tonnes CO2/Year

    Average American: 2.19 tonnes CO2/year

    Vegetarian: 1.22 tonnes CO2/Year

    Vegan: 0.19 tonnes CO2/Year

  • food nazi

  • That's not going to help. What will help is acting less like idiots.

    If food consumption was as significant as you claim, then that would mean we have little to no nitrogen fixing bacteria in the atmosphere and soil, which in turn would mean there would be fewer plant species, since they can't survive without the aid of said bacteria.

    Also, if what you say is true, then would that also mean all the methane produced by digested vegetation have no negative effect as well?

  • One more thing I want to know. If people ate less meat and replaced that with an equal amount of vegetation, wouldn't that also effect food supply?

    Look at the rice crisis, potato famine, or dust bowl, which I believe all make for a good argument against your statement on the significance of eating vegetables over meat. Especially if more people eat vegetables than what is available to the general market.

  • Look what happens when the pussification of Amerikkka takes place. All you pussies keep on typing.............

  • As a second year psychology major, I take offend toward the many people of the United States using the word "Psychology" in every part of he world's crisis.

    Some called George W. Bush a Nazi, Hell even Adolf Hitler was smarter than this stupid Son of the bitch

  • I'm fealing the same way. His use of the word psychology was highly inaccurate and makes his plans sound like a complex idea for a long term success when in fact it is just another ploy to make him look good.

    In simple terms, I assume he's saying "the mental break down of society is based on asking for something that there is limited supply of". I'm sorry if anyone else disagrees, but that is the nonsense I hear coming out of his mouth.

  • Actually, we didn't elect him twice. He was appointed by the supreme court the first time. And there were serious concerns of foul play in Ohio in 04.

  • dude, cenk. dont you think hes feigning ignorance? i think they know exactly what they are doing.

    "there is a psychology in the oil market that says supplies are stagnant while demand rises."

    what he is saying is that the mind set of the oil companies is to keep supplies low enough, perhaps even artificially. however the solution is not offshore drilling. Its drilling in the areas the companies are already leasing and not drilling in.

    If i had a magic wand, id shove it up bushs ass.

  • If there is a psychology in the oil market where supplies remain stagnent while demand increases, how would allowing off-shore exploration change the price of oil? By Dubya's logic, even if permitted to drill, there would be no incentive for oil companies to do so.

    Seems to me he just ACKNOWLEDGED that his oil buddies are intentionally keeping oil prices high.
