when is Bush going to 'jawbone OPEC" for lower prices

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

like he said he would in the 2000 campaign. will he get that done before he 'changes the tone,' "unites and not divides," ends the process of nation building, and fully funds our veterans?

2. I Was Remembering His Words Just Thisafternoon

As I went past a $2.65 Regular sign this afternoon. $2.89 for high test and you can bet Bush's ass that it will top three bucks by next week.

3. He's on vacation- busy bike riding and calling up golf pros. n/t

[Gay Green]

4. Somehow I think * has a different way to jawbone in mind

On the cover of House of Bush House of Saud, Prince Abdullah has this "You're my bitch, punk" look on his face. :mad:

5. He also said federal gas tax should be eliminated

He blamed the gas tax for high prices back in 99, when gas was 1.60.

Now, the new highway pork-o-rama bill was funded by the gas tax.

8. Some savvy headline grabbing Dem

ought to call for a temporary repeal of the gas tax to shame the Republicans.

9. It would have to be a dem that didn't sign off on the highway bill

I think the majority did. :(

6. Thank God some one said that. I thought I had got really old and

I had dreamed it up.

7. His words

Bush said today that he would bring down gasoline prices by creating enough political good will with oil-producing nations that they would increase their supply of crude. “I would work with our friends in OPEC to convince them to open up the spigot, to increase the supply. Use the capital that my administration will earn, with the Kuwaitis or the Saudis, and convince them to open up the spigot.”
