In a feeble attempt to appease the public this week, Bush said he will temporarily divert oil used to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve into the market to drive prices down. Apparently acknowledging the act as a do-nothing remedy, Bush made the comment, "Every little bit counts."
I doubt that many people appreciated a snide remark like this coming from a guy who has never had to balance a checkbook, never had to worry about paying a heating bill or filling up the gas tank, but who now, through some perverse twist of fate, maintains a stranglehold on the nation's purse strings. |
