Bush: “We're Going To Have A Tough Summer”...

[Imagevision]

President George W. Bush has warned rising oil prices will mean a "tough summer" for US consumers as the high cost of gasoline (petrol) showed signs of becoming a big political issue.

But even as more Americans expressed discontent over the price of filling up their gas tanks, Bush suggested there was little his government could do in the short term about the problem.

"We're going to have a tough summer because people are beginning to drive now during tight supply," Bush said as he toured a California facility developing hydrogen-powered vehicles.

If you told your boss you're going to have a problem dealing with a company issue he would undoubtedly would replace you with someone more qualified or fire you for the simple logic that he doesn't want to hear about your problems ~ He expects and wants results! -- November can't come soon enough to render this incompetant fool we call the president the lame-duck he has been from day one of his presidency.

1. Thats right "We're" going to have a tough summer. n/t

[bahrbearian]

2. Park Air Force One and then say that.

[Dogmudgeon]

3. Fortunately, most bosses aren't that bastardly

And then we have Boss Bush ...

Why do you think Republicans are so fanatical about "Personal Responsibility™"?

--p!

[NaturalHigh]

4. "We're going to have a tough summer."

File this in the "No S___!" category.

[Ecumenist]

5. WE???!! More like OUI.

I didn't know blivet spoke French. Please, he's not going ot have it hard, rather,he'll be, along with the other oil crooks, making obscene amounts of money and that's what he's looking forward to.

[AzDar]

6. When , exactly, did the supply become 'tight'? n/t

[Mika]

10. When the oil companies reduced refinery output a couple of months ago.

Someone posted a link from a Texas newsrag biz section.

[Warpy]

15. Dunno, unless asshole is telling us he's ready to start dropping

bombs on Iran. THEN the supply will be tight. Right now refiners and wholesalers are swimming in crude and gasoline. The pipeline is full. What is driving the cost is the commodity market in crude, nervous over Stupid's drunken belligerence at Iran.

I'd prefer the tough summer belong to that punk in the White House. I have a sneaking suspicion it will, too.

19. dropping bmbs on Iran I believe is a smokescreen for his short-comings

with failing as a president, even FOXnews today was complaining about Bush referring to his defaulted laundry list of what needs to be done about oil problems and relying on saudi arabia, they said he's been saying that since he was elected. (the first time)

[Canuckistanian]

7. "WE" - Higher prices for us...

More bad press for him as he rides around in taxpayer-funded luxury.

[Marr]

8. Bush continued, "I suggest you watch The Road Warrior for some tips

on how to live in post-Me America".

[NYC]

9. We? and...people are beginning to drive now during tight supply...

People are beginning... Why beginning? As I understand it, people who need to drive to work have been driving to work all along.

During tight supply... What made the supply tight? How's the oil flowing from Iraq? Same level as before Shock and Awe? No? What a surprise.

We? What does "we" are going to have a tough summer mean? Unaffordable gas for Americans, and low ratings for Bush? Is that the tough summer Bush will be having?

[Imagevision]

11. Bush took an oath to protect the american people, he's failed us

WE must hold him accountable for taking us into war under false and fabricated claims!!

[Notoverit]

12. "WE"? So no vacation for him either, huh? Tough...

[mediaman007]

26. and "No Fair!" if they drop the prices to about $1.50 per gallon...

in October! We better call them on that right now. If they can get the price down in October, then they can get it down now!

[senseandsensibility]

13. Yes, you freak, we are going to have a tough summer.

We've had a tough six years because we have a chimp for a "president". Until you go, it will only get worse.

[WePurrsevere]

14. Must be the royal "we", GWB & his rich cronies will barely notice the

pinch if at all while most Americans, especially the poor middle class and fixed income folks, will struggle and need to make difficult choices and sacrifices... which sadly will become even more difficult and harsh as food/grocery prices increase and next Winter approaches.

[justice1]

16. Reduce taxes on the lower 99%, and raise it on the top 1%.

That's something he could so in the short-term, but he won't.

[EVDebs]

17. Bush isn't going to help, looks like we'll have to do it ourselves...

Gas - 10 Cents per GALLON - YES!!!

and

The Marvelous Chick-Powered Car

Plus,

Greasecar Vegetable Fuel Systems

as more food for thought.

[Golden Raisin]

18. "WE'RE" ?? --- I just hate it when anyone from the Bush Family

tries to imply they have a clue about, or share feelings of commonality with middle-class or poor Americans. "We're"???? I guess there won't be any cheap gas to fuel the speedboats running around the ocean at the family compound up in Kennebunkport this summer.

[Disturbed]

21. " Bush took an oath to protect the american people,"

No he did not. The oath is to protect, preserve and defend The Constitution of the US. That he has not done!

[MichiganVote]

20. I just would want to say, 'Look asshole, wait till November,

think we're the only one's having a bad time? Just you wait Mister, just you wait. While the elected elites fly around in private planes and garner $ from corporations, people are WAY past bitchin'. They are ready for a killer election against Republicans. I know. I work in the public sector and I hear it everyday from every republican I meet.

The mean season is coming.

[Imagevision]

22. I agree, November will at least turn him into the lame-duck he's

always been since day one, talk about mis-use of power!!!

[MikeNearMcChord]

34. Hell Yeah, if that is the arrogant view of

Shrubious Boobious Maximus Primus, the let the GOP have a tough November 06, '08, '10 '12, all the way to 2100. He says deal with then let them deal with being out of power for ages to come.:mad:

[shain from kane]

23. The best idea that I have seen posted on this topic is to buy a gas can,

fill it with a gallon of gas, paint the date "November 7, 2006", and show it to your friends, neighbors, relatives, the local newspaper, etc.
This is to guarantee to the politicians at every level that you have enough gas in storage to drive to the polls, and elect someone who will help the common people combat the practices of the oil industry.
This is not a case of supply and demand, when the industry is united to exploit the present situation.

[badgerpup]

36. I LIKES that idea...

Gonna pass it around to my disgruntled hippie friends, neighbors buddies, and other people who've HAD ENOUGH.
:applause: :toast: :woohoo: :hug:
(I really likes that idea a lot...)

[liberal N proud]

24. Just keep reminding every one that the Republicans and bu$h

are to blame for this.

We keep tying this to bu$h and the republicans, all summer and right up through November.

They could have done something, they could still do something but they haven't and they will not.

[Imagevision]

25. Do you feel like you'll be losing any freedoms with Bush gas prices?

[yngliberal]

27. He's not our boss, we are his

[Aviation Pro]

28. And you're going to have a tough January, Asshole....

...it will be the fastest impeachment process ever. Couple of days should wrap it up.

[Imagevision]

29. Bush is going to have a "tough time" with a Dem house & senate...!

come November.

[Aviation Pro]

31. They will seat the new Congress in January....

eom

[ktlyon]

30. I sure hope George has tough summer.

I hope he loses everything, his legislative agenda, his close criminal staff, and his freedom.

[Aviation Pro]

32. And just like Dad's fortress....

...in Kennebunkport (No-Name Perfect Storm in 1991). I hope a tornado strikes the "dude" ranch in Crapford.

[Kahuna]

33. My empty pockets will be worth is to assure the devastation of

the reputhuglican party. I just feel really sorry for the low income people who really can't afford an extra twenty dollars a week for gas. Luckily for me, I can.

[TheCowsCameHome]

35. Not half as tough as this fall is going to be for the GOP, Chimpy.
