WASHINGTON - President Bush, pushing to take charge of the election-year agenda, said Tuesday that "America is addicted to oil" and must break its dependence on foreign suppliers in unstable parts of the world.

In his State of the Union address, Bush also renewed his commitment to the central pledge of his inaugural address. "Our nation is committed to an historic, long-term goal — we seek the end of tyranny in our world," he said. "The future security of America depends on it."

Addicted to oil? Do ya think so, Oil Man? :puke:

EDIT: For some reason, that link came off a little funky...maybe this one will work:

..if the Dems don't burst out laughing at that line......

I wish I had a recording of myself when I browsed into board and saw that...

What other obvious things can he say?
"Our health care system is too expensive for the results we get"

"The deficiti is a tad high"

he's become, gasp, Jimmy Carter!

I've done a lot of bad things to maintian my addiction to oil.

:rofl:

Spout a Democratic position, continue to do what you've always done, and then have your minions go out and say the Democrats have no ideas and/or Dems & Pubs are all the same. Same shit, new day.

There ya go.

there goes another justification for invading Iraq:

BECOME the supplier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So they can close off the Straits of Hormuz and cut off our foreign oil.

For our own good.

An intervention.

Our governor Linda Lingle (R-On Karen Hughes' Christmas Card List) harped on this same point in her recent "State of the State" address.

Earlier this month, I proposed a sweeping set of proposals designed to move us from our decades-long overdependence on imported oil toward energy self-sufficiency based on renewable resources...

Weaning ourselves from oil won't be cost-free, but we must do so if we want our economy to survive the next time the price of a barrel of oil increases by 50%.

I am proposing a bold new initiative to make Hawai'i the center of America's development of hydrogen as an alternate fuel source....

We also need to encourage the development of biofuels as a substitute for oil -- fuels through farming.

What's up with this? You know they have an ulterior motive somewhere. Invade and occupy all the sources so they're no longer "in unstable parts of the world"? :scared:

This just in- Three Gorges dam is the equivalent of 18 nuclear power facilities. It almost makes one wonder if they had a plan.

I can see it now.

What a joke. The man is a drug dealer if he believes that, because he had the option to find alternative energy sources and never spent any time on it at all.

It isn't just about gasoline. My heating costs are ASTRONOMICAL. This has also been a MILD winter.

Forget, solar. That is NOT an option with SNOW. I am also old enough to remember when we had a coal stove for heating as a kid. The entire house always had a layer of back soot all over everything. If it was on the furniture, you can bet it was in our lungs too. Does he want that too? For those who cannot afford the sky high costs of oil or natural gas? He probably does. If you aren't RICH, you are dispensable.

roof, which Ronald Reagan promptly removed.

If Reagan hadn't done that, we would have achieved complete energy independence in 1991.
Oil company profits come before national security.

rotf,,the fucking thief,and M-U-R-D-E-R-E-R....3,000 innocent lives cut short for this illegal invasion and not to forget the carnage that is Iraq,, sadly 2,243 dead soldiers,40,000 wounded....and over 100,000 dead Iraqi's innocent and guilty ones, moms and pops kids wow. What scumbags those oilmen from Texas are...

and the oil companies are addicted to dollars. Which is worse?

everything together is oil tied to the dollar.

If you can't get where power and debt and oil addiction will take you, you go to the places booze and drugs and sex addiction take you.

e because of *****dip.'


Wow I hit 1000 posts this week. Didn't think I really talked that much.

not.

by shafting the average American consumer! Oops, hang on a second.... :sarcasm:

Yeah, a former oil man is gonna tell us we should wean the U.S. off its dependence on oil. Please. :eyes:

Now Bush wants to be Al Gore. I get the feeling *All* presidential candidates for 2008 will try to be Al gore.

It chaps my hide that this Oil Whore is gonna start chastising us about oil! :mad:

Or as the pot said to the kettle, "You're black".

:eyes:

...just great.

Well, Georgie'll admit that he knows a few things about addiction. He won't elaborate on most of the substance abuse, but he will gladly tell anyone that he turned his life around...

...by turning to Jesus.

Is he about to try and coax us into national religion now?

This sounds like it has the potential to get even creepier.

Heh-heh-heh. NO WAY he'll offer the solution that really MUST be proposed (weaning OFF oil, altogether). Especially after his pals at Exxon/Mobil made all that money...

:eyes:

Guess who our dealer is?
