My post is good or bad according to your wish! LOL! I didn't answer your question directly as I believe you know the answer yourself! So my so-called "tirade" was tantamount to covering more ground instead of being "redundant". LOL! Too bad Bush has lost a lot of credibility worldwide! Although whatever he says to oil-producers elsewhere won't be taken seriously, he still has some clout on the homefront as many in big oil businesses are still beholden to him. Get him to wave the American flag on TV, as Johnson used to do during the Vietnam War, and appeal to the patriotism of the American big oil producers and sellers to go easy on their fellow Americans for the economic benefit of all. For a while at least. I am sure you know the rest of the answer! Surely, you are not as tonto as you make yourself out to be, eh? .

Tonto...I didn't make the claim...but suppose Bush came out and said this: My fellow Americans, Since I have been your president we have seen the prices at the pumps skyrocket. Prices have more than doubled for some Americans in the last four years. As your president, I'm deeply concerned about how this increase in the cost of gasoline will affect the well being of the nation. This increase in fuel costs effects everything we buy including food and basic necessities. It affects jobs. It affects the cost of electricity. It affects the cost of heating our homes. Rising costs of gas and diesel is hurting the economy. When our economy is at risk, national security is at risk. I have asked Congress to conduct hearings on the rising costs of energy. I have asked that our nations top oil companies testify under oath at the congressional hearings. In addition before the hearings they must submit a written report outlining the costs and profits of bringing energy to the American people. I've instructed the GAO to review these reports and to provide a summary of their review to the Congress for the hearings. Today I call for a new direction in diversifying our energy base. I am directing Congress to pass legislation giving sweeping new tax incentives to producers of alternative energy including Solar, wind, geothermal, bio fuels, hydrogen and shale oil. I will call on the US Government and Military to convert 10% of it's energy use to alternative sources by the year 2010. With these efforts we can create a clear path to energy independence. I thank you, and may god bless America. Well what do you think? Good for a 20 cent drop? LOL Orca
