Bush on msnbc--chatting about his Energy plan

[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

1. He is late on the draw for promoting renewables but is taking credit.

[rodeodance]

3. but first he says he wants to talk a bit of the WAR ON TERROR (IraQ)

[Neil Lisst]

2. suddenly, he's Mister Friggin' GREEN Jeans!!

reNEWables.

Yeah, George. Welcome to 2006.

[rodeodance]

5. how many times did he say "a FREE Iraq" ??

[rodeodance]

6. chatting of the Unemployment rate "the American People are Working"

[rodeodance]

9. but will he talk of how prizes are going up on almost everything?

[Neil Lisst]

11. Oy with the Iraq hard sell, Dubya!!

Oy with the Iraq hard sell, Dubya!!

He's like that drunk guy that never shuts up about that one thing that really bugs him!

[Neil Lisst]

12. I've written a cartoon with some of these direct quotes he's using.

He broke this new line last week, and pulled the text to study his 1-2-3 lead points.

He is such a jackass!!

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

20. Hey Neil, great "I'm the decider" cartoon last week. Really. Nice job.

[Neil Lisst]

40. thanks!! we're experimenting with some 8 parters right now.

I'm trying to tell some stories that can't be told in one or two frames.

Wed or Thur we're addressing $3.00 gallon gasoline and how we got there.

My cartoonist partner on this in Canada draws these, and I can only push him so hard on the art work. We've gotten published regularly in two newspapers, and we've got a good online following, but we want MORE! More impact, more coverage.

[debbierlus]

48. Hey, you have a link to that!

[Neil Lisst]

51. here's the current one

and here's THE DECIDER

[debbierlus]

43. So, we have:

Token comments on alternative energy.

Drilling in the anwar.

Deregulation as a big gift to the oil companies.

And, gas prices continuing to skyrocket for as far as the eye can see!

[Neil Lisst]

59. ANWR! ANWR! ANWR!

They never stop pushing it.

[malaise]

4. Henry Waxman on CSpan is

way more interesting. He's exposing Haliburton in Iraq.

[C_U_L8R]

7. Has this whole thing been a wind-up ?

How coincidental that here he is speaking to
the Renewable Fuels Association.

[Skidmore]

8. Jeez, what's he on?

He's really ramped up. Loud and obnoxious. Comes across as angry.

[rodeodance]

14. now talking of our dependence on oil. Gee this is new.

[elehhhhna]

35. belligerent

[rodeodance]

62. he is isn't he.

[leftchick]

56. reminds me of Chancellor Satler

:scared:

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

10. He's patting himself on the back about all the great jobs...

But, somehow, he seems...defensive...I wonder why?

[Skidmore]

15. He's screaming "uncle" now. Swore he'd never open the

strategic petroleum reserve for the purpose of price relief a few years ago. Guess what he's doing? The market isn't doing the job for him politically. People are pissed, and he's trying to make it look like he's being proactive and doing something.

[Atman]

13. Democrats propose PRICE FIXING?

Projecting again, are we Mr. Boosh?

[htuttle]

16. "...Switchgrass..."

[rodeodance]

17. says 'this adm. will NOT tolerate Manipulation" (but did with INtell)

[rodeodance]

19. NOW he talks of greater fuel efficiency! --I so so am being to actually

dislike this man--not just his policies but his whole being!

[SpiralHawk]

66. Well, that's what you get with Skull & Boner AWOL Boy running the nation

kreepily kryptic krap

[Skidmore]

18. Okay, Little Boots. If the energy companies have such a great cash flow,

to reinvest in research, then why are we paying tax monies for them to research with?

[rodeodance]

21. says he wants to collect 2 Billlion $ over 10 YEARS from this loopholes

which he wants Congress to close. About time!

[rodeodance]

22. 2 B is a drop in the bucket OVER 10 years.

[htuttle]

37. They spend $2 billion in Iraq in less than two weeks

That's just the sort of business acumen that Bush used during his days in corporate America -- And put every company he ever worked for out of business...

[Bozita]

23. When did * become an ethanol fan? - My guess is 5 minutes ago

[rodeodance]

24. oh oh---is he talking of delaying the ethnonal YES he IS! damm -for

the sake of consumers.

[rodeodance]

25. waivers for blending fuels. damm

[rodeodance]

26. "for the sake of our consumers" BEWARE when he says that.

[rodeodance]

28. Jr. is placing blame on everyone else than his administration.

[debbierlus]

29. Oil Puppet is talking about gas prices?

If you squint hard enough, you can see the strings!

Screw you, Bush! And, you oil czar puppetiers, too!

[Skidmore]

I think the industry has been hard balling to get deregulation.

We're being served the main dish right now. Extortion.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

27. Today's Talking point. Don't Worry about the high gas prices.

Hell, you all got tax breaks, didn't you?

[rodeodance]

30. 'eviromentally safe" drilling---ANWAR--Here it comes!

[debbierlus]

33. Keep me up on the play by play!

Not able to stream, no t.v.!

[rodeodance]

34. he thanked Congress for passing the Energy bill (Cheney).

[Kansas Wyatt]

31. I cannot stand to watch IT

That idiot doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, and he is up there acting like he is the wise educator to children*.

*Note for Rove: Just because someone has to explain it to him in that way, doesn't mean that people are as stupid as him and people do not need to be talked down to and educated about a subject that only he has been oblivious to.

[rodeodance]

38. He is acting and talking like he is talking to kids--demeaning when you

listen for a while.

[rodeodance]

41. gawd, he is dumb sounding or what!

[rodeodance]

42. says the use of ethanol is good for the agriculture section.

[rodeodance]

44. Dummy--tell them how much fossil fuels it takes to produce ethanol

[rodeodance]

45. says growing corn is good for the small familiy farmer- (there are few

family farmers left dummy!!)--

[helderheid]

54. When doesn't he? It is so fucking annoying!

[etherealtruth]

32. Crude oil extraction at home ...

... is environmentally friendly

ANWR, ANWR

Ass hole

[Bozita]

36. Some old GWB quotes on oil prices ( Hint: He's a spigoter!)

Fellow DUer Sydnie posted these quotes on Sunday:

“I think the president ought to get on the phone with the OPEC cartel and say: ‘We expect you to open your spigots’ …The president of the United States must jawbone OPEC members to lower the price. And if, in fact, there is collusion amongst big oil, he ought to intercede there as well.”
Financial Times, February 2, 2000

“I would work with our friends in OPEC to convince them to open up the spigot, to increase the supply. … Use the capital that my administration will earn, with the Kuwaitis or the Saudis, and convince them to open up the spigot.”
New York Times, June 28, 2000

“We're dependent upon crude. … I would hope the administration would convince our friends in OPEC to open the spigots.”
Los Angeles Times, June 22, 2000

“I think Americans ought to be asking, ‘Where's all the capital we earned overseas after defending some of our OPEC nation friends?’”
Associated Press, March 20, 2001

“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.”
CNN, January 26, 2000

[jojo54]

39. Anybody SEE the audience? I've heard clapping, but don't see.

Going back and forth between MSNBC and C-Span, so I might have missed something.

Or is this just canned applause?

[rodeodance]

47. still talking of ethanol-10 minutes now.

[debbierlus]

50. Why don't we hook HIM up to a machine - his bull shit should power

The city of New York for about a year!

[capi888]

46. Ya know whats amazing???

His talk on energy about ethenol, and using green methods is WHAT WE HAVE KNOWN ALL ALONG! Now it is HIS idea, and he talks like it has just been discovered, BY HIM. This man really believes ALL AMERICANS are stupid. I guess his base........might be!!

[rodeodance]

49. I know. It literally is making me sick! damm him.

[rodeodance]

52. switch grass talk again.

[rodeodance]

53. gee, said her put in 115$ into budget for ethanol research. (drop in the

bucket)

[rodeodance]

55. msnbc just cut him off but reported on his 4 point energy plan.

[rodeodance]

57. but on cnn--now chatting about new battery techologies

[rodeodance]

60. gee, he put 31$ into his budget for this. (if get out of Irag, it would b

e BILLIONS we could invest)--of course we would still have to borrow from China

[debbierlus]

58. And, he isn't going to do ANYTHING about the problem!

He is going to put up a token sum of money for alternative energy research - say, 1% of what would be required to develop & implement it.

Then, he will claim that he is some sort of environmental champion.

And, gas prices will continue to sky.

[gordianot]

61. I have some other headlines from history.

Attila the Hun speaks out against plunder.
Al Capone opposes bootlegging.
Richard Nixon promotes open truthful Government.
Adolph Hitler outlines program for ethnic tolerance.
Joe McCarthy criticizes government officials who are alarmist and make false accusations.
King George III reconciles Colonial government.
Napoleon voluntarily abandons ambitions of conquest.

George Bush investigates price gouging at the pump and seeks to reform energy policy.

[Neil Lisst]

63. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ... he's hung over and out of gas

this is a really flat performance

[pdxmom]

64. This is so totally bogus! Not only is he presenting things that

we've been asking for all along, and presenting it as his idea, he's talking about breakthroughs in research and development about things that ALREADY EXIST IN OTHER COUNTRIES! The US just won't let those technologies into this country.

I'm so sick of this man and all those idiots out there that listen to his crappola and think he's a freakin' genius.

[rodeodance]

65. Bush telling the audiance they knew of alternatives before Americans

did!! damm him.
