Some Heartfelt Advice To George Bush (From A Freeper)! Listen Up George!

Here's my opinion as to what President Bush needs to do. Ask for network broadcast time and speak to the American people.

After explaining all the horrors of this tragedy, and reciting some stories of heroism, we should speak directly first to the oil companies. Tell them they need to suck it up and hold the line on fuel prices for now.

Then speak directly to the nations of the world. Explain that many times in the past, when other nations have been swamped in a tragedy, the U. S. has been right there to help. We need their help now. We need them to hold the line on oil prices.

Then speak directly to Americans who are oil futures speculators, tell them that they need to stop trading on tragedy and refuse to engage in trading that earns windfall profits. To temporarily fall on their financial sword for the benefit of the American people.

The phrase of the night needs to be "don't trade on tragedy". The tragedy of Hurricane Katrina.

I'm undecided as to whether President Bush needs to explain what steps he is willing to take, if these three groups, the oil companies, other nations, and U. S. oil futures speculators, refuse to stop the mad spiral of oil price increases.

But he has to take the lead in calling for a stop to profit taking and "trading on tragedy". If he doesn't, as a nation we could be facing financial ruin. It's as serious as a heart attack.

5. Not only is it all about oil
but notice that the original poster (savedbygrace) is asking for VOLUNTARY action.

FUCK IT!!!

If I were prez, the price cap would come down so fast that there would be chopped off dicks all over Wall Street.

7. Poor fella. Thinks George cares about him more than the oilmen.
George will not voluntarily do one thing to impede windfall profits.

I would tax the hell out them.

You do realize the freeper is using the disaster to bring down his personal gas prices?

8. Fucking self-centered capitalistic Freepers!
Only when something affects their wallet or the god-blessed market do they care.

People are dying and they're worried about paying 30 cents more for for their SUV or big-ass monster pick-up.

You Freepers elected these people, so take your medicine and fuck off!

9. Thanks for the link
That was pure entertainment. I kept on flashing that I was reading Daily Kos and had to constantly remind myself that it was Free Republic. The Clueless Get a Clue. Sad to think what it takes!

10. Problem is that bush is BIG OIL! Guess this FReeper doesn't get that.
:spank: That's all he cares about which is why he brought it up constantly the past few days while he should have only spoke of the disaster relief. Shows where his priorities are.

11. It's Only About Oilmen???
Geez, these Freepers are so out of touch with "regular" people. Who cares about stupid, rich oil executives? They are all criminals, since they gouge us so much!:grr:

13. "facing financial ruin."
That ain't the worst thing facing us if this person has any sphere of power. Definitely not a thinking individual.

We don't need to be comforted regarding how much GAS is available to run our SUVs, moron.

We need to know that our country is secure from those who oppose us NOW THAT * HAS MADE US A TARGET and that basic needs (like water and shelter) will be met if our homes are ripped up and destroyed by terrorists or natural disasters.

We need someone who doesn't spit pablum every f***ing time he opens his mouth - saying he "understands that this will require more than one days attention."

15. That freeper is a racist slime I'm sure.
We can't worry about all those thousands of lives, lets worry about the oil now! :eyes:

What a moron, and George will never take his advice anyway. Suck it up you foolish insolents!

16. No concern for the Americans suffering in NOLA...
only concerned with his own financial hardships. Typical freeper.

Love the quote: "No Monday morning quarterback has ever led a team to victory" GW Bush
Neither has GW Bush.
