Bush: US Must "Get Off Oil"

Wednesday, March 5, 2008

(03-05) 07:28 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --


President Bush says the United States has to change its habits and "get off oil" to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign suppliers.

Bush made his comments in a speech in Washington after OPEC said it would not put more oil on the global market. During a trip to the Middle East in January, Bush had urged OPEC to increase production in order to ease soaring gasoline prices.

While calling for energy conservation, Bush joked on Wednesday that it probably did not help that he rode to his speech in a 20-car motorcade.
