I read where Mr. Bush is lamenting the high cost of motor fuel in this country, referring to it as a “tax on the common working man” (that is if you still have a job). He said “it was a long time coming, and there isn’t any quick fix on the horizon.”
Which I kind of disagree with. I mean here it is about a buck a gallon and the first thing you know, it is almost four times that.
Seems it hit pretty quick to me.
Once again, he is whinning about our dependence on foreign oil and how we need to break it. You want us to tighten up our belts and do our part, fine. Might want to check out a new hole on your waistline at the same time. Here is a novel idea, how about the government curbing some of these unnecessary flights for frivilous meetings.
Here is an example.
Vice President Cheney, the shooter was in town Friday. He was certainly doing his part to conserve, he only flew in “two massive jets” to get the job done. He flew in on Air Force II and had an additional large aircraft flown in with his personal limo and I suppose the Secret Service people.
Here is the part that rankles me: He stayed in Oklahoma City for approximately two hours and then jumped back on the “executive privilege xpress” and beat it back to Washington DC. Might have been in a hurry to get back and didn’t want to miss “Happy Hour.”
Wonder how much fuel this “little fund raiser for the party of choice” cost (It’s over $5.21 a gallon in the private sector) and how many gallons did it consume?
Maybe the next time he is town, he can explain to us why … Army Staff Sgt. Bryan E. Bolander, 26, Bakersfield Ca, Army Staff Sgt. Chad Caldwell, 24, Spokane Washington, Army Staff Sgt.Jerry LeLoach, 45, Jackson Georgia, Army Sgt. First Class, Lawrece D Ezell, 30, Portand, Texas, Army Spc. Jeffrey F Nichols, 21, Granite Shoals Texas, Capt. Andrew R. Pearson, 32, Billings, Montana and Spc. Ronald J. Tucker, 21 of Fountain Colorado … All died in Iraq while he was busy raising more blood money for the party.
I like to know if he has a valid answer to a question like that.
