Bush just sounds foolish, when he says things, we have known for years as if he has made this grand discovery.
He wasn't too worried it when he was telling people to travel and consume like mad people, right after 9/11.
I mean, like you really have to tell Americans to do that?
Independent Online Edition > Americas:
"As his approval ratings hit an all-time low, President George Bush moved to try to stem the rise in US oil prices, which has turned into a political headache for himself and his administration.
In a bid to boost supplies on the market ahead of the summer 'driving season', Mr Bush is temporarily halting shipments to the national strategic petroleum reserve. He is also taking steps to relax environmental standards on certain fuels, and launching an inquiry into possible overcharging by the big oil companies, whose record earnings and massive pay increases to executives have only added to public anger.
'Our addiction to oil is a matter of national security concern,' the President said in a speech to the Renewable Fuels
Association, which advocates alternative energy sources like ethanol. The country imported 60 per cent of its oil, he noted, compared with 25 per cent in the mid-1980s."
