Blueducks Warns Of 'Tough November' For Republicans Up For Reelection

That's my translated headline.

AP: Bush warns of 'tough summer' with higher petrol prices

US 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...

Looks like the President is as big a failure dealing with the oil crisis as he was with running oil companies. I'm sure he would insist that this issue is apolitical, but this was the same issue that ended up working against Jimmy Carter in the late '70s. Turnabout is fair play.

And didn't the President promise to end our oil addiction? Or did he not mean that literally?

He also said-

The federal government has a responsibility, by the way, to make sure ... there is no price gouging," he added.

Price gouging? Why, we'd never even assume such a thing. Right, Ray?


"NO WAY! We live only to serve the American people! That's the American CEO pledge!"

Phew, I feel much better now.
