Oil prices are rising at record levels and our ever wonderful president's reply to this is "this will be a tough summer"? That's it?
That's the magical political solution to those having to chose between groceries, buying meds, or buying gas. Another comatose reaction from this lackluster administration?
I have never seen a president who talks so much and promises a world of change, yet fails to deliver again and again.
I guess his love for oil company profits out-bids his love for GOP control of Congress and the White House.
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.
But even as more Americans expressed discontent over the price of filling up their gas tanks, Bush suggested there was little his government could do in the short term about the problem.
"We're going to have a tough summer because people are beginning to drive now during tight supply," Bush said as he toured a California facility developing hydrogen-powered vehicles.
"The American people have got to understand what happens elsewhere in the world affects the price of gasoline you pay here."
Bush spoke after a week of unremitting rises in prices in global crude oil markets and at gasoline (petrol) pumps across the country. Crude topped a record 75 dollars per barrel in New York trading Friday, five dollars up from a week earlier.
Don't worry, Mr. President, lack of action involving high gas prices now will later affect the elections come this November.
People, both Republicans and Democrats, are very angry right now, and this anger will resound come election time.
You can count on that.
