Bush fails to win Saudi help on gas prices......
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080517/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_mideast

Wow, how could such a great leader fail to convince them to lower gas prices? LOL

Bush is an mental idiot. And an asshole.

McSame will be 4 years of the same.

Let's remember the real enemys!

2. Bush doesn't want lower gas prices.
He and his friends are making a huge profit. Imagine a Bush for lower gas prices? Ain't going to happen.

3. Oil Bidness
They no longer need Bush. I'm no expert, but it seems the planets have lined up PERFECTLY for Big Oil. They will never increase production, ever again. Even Bush is irrelevant, because every barrel of oil not bought in the US will be gobbled up at practically any price by India and China, whose economies are becoming as insatiable in their oil consumption as ours is.

The oil CEO's who have been making the rounds in Congress and on morning tv are LAUGHING at the United States government. Bush's failure is an early warning -- Big Oil now rules the world.

At least Dick Cheney will still be running Halliburton after January 20! :-P

4. "He didn't punch any tables or shout at anybody"
Oh? So, he's acted like a deranged monkey previously?

Opening the spigots won't do squat anyway. A large part of the price of gas is from the instability he's injected into the mideast, his continued sabre rattling, and his intent to pay for the wars by inflating his way out of debt.

I hope pig-ignorant Bush Americans are enjoying the Bush Tax.

They did it to Carter under the cover of the Iranian revolution.

are too good of friends. Remember, they flew them all out on a private plane after 911 when all the other planes were grounded?
