When you watch the debates tomorrow night, you may want to keep in mind a few of the lies things that Dubya was kidding around about the last time he was trying to trick folks into believing he was “a man of his word”.
In the 2000 debates, when oil prices had risen to about $32/barrel, Bush criticized the Clinton/Gore for not solving the problem…
…
BROWN: Let me follow up by asking what pressures — specifically what pressures should be brought on OPEC…?
BUSH: Well, we’ve got good relations with a lot of members of OPEC. If the president does his job, the president will earn capital in the Middle East, and the president should have good standing with those nations. It’s important for the president to explain, in clear terms, what high energy prices will not only do to our economy, but what high energy prices will do to the world economy.
It is in the Saudis’ best interest for the price of oil to mellow out. It’s not only in our country’s best interests. It needs to be explained to them, it’s in their best interests.
BROWN: Thank you.
BUSH: And I will do so. [emphasis added]
A man of his word? Oil hit $50/barrel yesterday. Still waiting for the jawboning to take effect. Or, in Bush’s words, for the President to “do his job.”
*LOL*!!!! Genius!!! I love it. 🙂
