Lifes a Bitch for Bush...he don't listen for shit....Now...it comes back to haunt US...The Saudis

[opihimoimoi]

turned down his request for more oil to lower our gas prices....? Please....?

Guess whot?

They ain't listening...I wonder why?

I guess it was a "Show Ask"..."Well, I tried but them Saudi Pals of mine said NO WAY"

1. What should happen v. what I think is happening.

If oil is getting scarce or hard to come by,
we should be turning in a big way to alternative
fuel and energy.

However, what I think is happening is that
Bushinc is looking for an excuse to drill in
formerly protected areas.

That's what big oil wants, so I wouldn't be at
all surprised if this visit with the Saudis were
staged for that purpose.

8. The show and tell overture...yup, dats whot it looks like....

[Submariner]

2. I think the word he used in 2000 was, "I'll JAWBONE the Saudis to lower oil prices"

That worked out well. Dumbya is beyond incompetent. He is in his own little niche of stupid.

6. Did he really hope to slay them with The Jawbone of an Ass? n/t

[opihimoimoi]

13. Him? Slay anything? He can't even hold a freaking hammer properly

choked and gurly mon style....

The Secret Service took his chainsaw away years ago....for THEIR SAFETY

Then they took away the machette...for the same reason...he has been reduced to hauling away the brush...even if its for those Photo Ops.

He is hopeless

Does.t write, compose, read, think, innovate, build, create, heal, and his analyzing sucks.

3. Please correct your header "it comes back to haunt US"

[opihimoimoi]

7. Done...its really US and him as well....the episode reveals his impotence

Hardly anyone listens to the dude these daze....what goes around I guess....

4. They are either holding out for more loot or punishing him for fucking-up the war they hired him

to handle, or punishing him for dropping-the-ball on the nukes someone tried to pass them a few months ago http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3300581

[opihimoimoi]

9. More loot and More POWER...its all about the SPICE

Shades of Dune

[patrice]

10. And addictions of various kinds, Maud'Dib. nt

[opihimoimoi]

12. Who controls the Spice controls the Universe.....

[patrice]

15. Yep. Invest in Mentats. nt

5. How is this bad for Bush?

What makes you think he wants lower gas prices?

It's not like he has ever cared what damage he's doing to the economy as long as he's got his.

And it's not like he's ever cared how his party's policies hurt working people, as long as he doesn't lose anything.

The way I look at it: Bush went to the Saudis winking and nudging and knowing they wouldn't do a thing to lower oil prices while he made a show of asking.

[opihimoimoi]

11. Yup, spot on.....but his actions and failures are not the best for the GOP who are paying dearly

GOP...who are dealing with elections this Nov.

The GOP backed the dude 2X and now its the Piper Time...

[ColbertWatcher]

21. True.

But, I really wonder if they are thinking long-term.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. I don't blame the Saudis. They're providing enough oil to be refined to be sold.

Notice the absence of gas lines like the 1970s? It's the devaluation and weakness of our currency which is used to purchase that gas which has momentally increased its price.

[opihimoimoi]

19. The Saudis will do whatever is in the BEST INTEREST for THEM...forget you W

and your silly request...."ya want us to lose money? are you outta your friggen mind?"

[Brigid]

16. Now listen up, George, and listen good . . .

The Saudis are not -- I repeat, not -- our friends. Your family may have been in bed with them for decades, but they are no friend of trhe American people. Do you really believe it's a coincidence that 15 of thed 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudis? And the less said about their record toward women, and their human rights record, the better. More oil? You gotta be kidding me! :banghead:

[opihimoimoi]

18. LOL, But,...but.....he man has a history of NOT LISTENING...malfeasence of the worst kind

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

17. If the dollar again loses half of its value

as it has already done since Bush took office, what difference does it make how much oil there is on the market and what the demand might be? If the dollar continues to slide and is worth less and less, it will continue to buy less oil. To me, the falling dollar is the first thing the Bush Administration should address. Unfortunately, it seems that no one in the media points this out.

20. Them Peters up there are flumooxed no end...."Solutions? Whot dat?"
