"...and say we expect you to open your spigots."
While on the campaign trail in 2000, Bush told President Bill Clinton how to handle OPEC, in public no less. “What I think the president ought to do," he said, "is he ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say we expect you to open your spigots."
And in a brilliant, highly educational follow-up comment, Bush informed the audience: "One reason why the price is so high is because the price of crude oil has been driven up."

And in a brilliant, highly educational follow-up comment, Bush informed the audience: "One reason why the price is so high is because the price of crude oil has been driven up."

"OPEC has gotten its supply act together," Bush advised listeners, "and it's driving the price, like it did in the past."

2. I say let him go back to one of his mege-church and strut around
It would save the world. Course I know he did not get where he is with out help but the war group seems to have gone under ground or jumped ship, and does any one know where all the war group is? We are still seeing the 4 big ones but every one else seem to have just left.
