Good for Nothing
Posted by Michael Cohen

I've said it once and I'll say it again, what is the point of electing a Texas oil man to the nation's highest office if he can't lean on the Saudis to increase oil production:

The White House said Friday that Saudi Arabia's leaders are making clear they see no reason to increase oil production until customers demand it.

President Bush was in the oil-rich country to appeal to King Abdullah for greater production to help halt rising gas prices in the United States.

But his national security adviser, Stephen Hadley, said Saudi officials stuck to their position that they already are meeting demand.

We know that George Bush can't competently conduct a war, helm a successful relief operation to a natural disaster or speak in complete and coherent sentences, but is it really too much to ask that he can get us some relief from the Saudis. Sheesh!

Yeah, I thougt Bush was in bed with the Saudis.

Guess Bush is bad in bed.

I'll be here all week, folks.

Bush's alienating of oil proudecers such as Iran, Russia, and Venezuela, has only increased the American dependence on the Saudis.
