This should be all over the news (Bush's BROKEN PROMISE re: gas prices)
Edited on Sun Aug-14-05 02:34 PM by Truth Hurts A Lot
BUSH PROMISES TO FORCE OPEC TO LOWER PRICES... "What I think the president ought to do is he ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say we expect you to open your spigots...And the president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the price." -- President Bush, 1/26/00

...BUSH REFUSES TO LOBBY OPEC LEADERS With gas prices soaring in the United States at the beginning of 2004, the Miami Herald reported the president refused to "personally lobby oil cartel leaders to change their minds." ---Miami Herald, 4/1/04

Although Bush's approval rating is pretty much in the gutter right now, coverage of this massive flip flop/lie might get the remaining 42% on our side so that we can commence with the impeachment hearings.

3. What Glorious George needs to do.....
...is open the National Oil Reserves (for a week or so....) and tell OPEC to sit on it and take a whirl. Them prices will come down faster than you can say 'how much for a barrel of Crude'. Now why do you suppose Georgie hasn't done that???????
