"Bush is out of touch with a lot of things we are facing today," said Marisa Cajbon, 33, who was filling her Toyota Sequoia SUV. "I have to buy gas. I need to work. I have two kids. I think it's unfortunate. I think it's a crime."
Notice anything wrong with that statement coming from the driver of an SUV? - americangoy, on 03/01/2008, -9/+141bush jr. is only talking to his advisors, who tell him daily that his approval rating is 70% and that Americans are itching to invade Iran...
- Remmy, on 03/01/2008, -11/+109You should have seen his reaction at the discovery that he had not one, but two hands. He was giddy for nearly 3 days.
- Cronikeys, on 03/01/2008, -7/+99I'm pretty sure everything surprises Bush.
- mark076h, on 03/01/2008, -4/+81i loled
"Wait, what did you just say?" the president interrupted. "You're predicting $4-a-gallon gasoline?"
Maer responded: "A number of analysts are predicting $4-a-gallon gasoline."
Bush's rejoinder: "Oh, yeah? That's interesting. I hadn't heard that." - slightlygifted, on 03/01/2008, -5/+82what makes bush so funny is he actually believes he's doing a good job when in reality hes a ***** acting as a puppet for powerful republicans and his dad's friends.
- kickcows, on 03/01/2008, -3/+73sigh. the end of his term can't get here soon enough.
- pintomp3, on 03/01/2008, -7/+76reality always surprises bush.
- inactive, on 03/01/2008, -3/+65"I have two kids. I think it's unfortunate. I think it's a crime."
She shouldn't talk about them that way ... that's kinda mean. - theNazz, on 03/01/2008, -3/+65Bush is a member of the privileged class. He doesn't know or care how much gas costs.
- receev, on 03/01/2008, -5/+66I saw her on the interstate the other day. She was going 400 miles per hour in between two lanes while throwing cheeseburgers at her kids and putting on lipstick.
- Dumbledorito, on 03/01/2008, -1/+44"You just said the price of gasoline may be up to $4 a gallon — or some expert told you that," Bush repeated. "That creates a lot of uncertainty."
Prez to public: Stop listening to experts. Just because they know more than you or have done more research doesn't mean they're right, especially when it makes me look bad. - Dumbledorito, on 03/01/2008, -16/+56I didn't realize children needed that much cargo space.
Wait, are they Americans? No wonder... - Wavicle, on 03/01/2008, -4/+43In other news... 1+1=2? Computation surprises Bush.
- siszam, on 03/01/2008, -11/+49I raised three children with a car the size of a Toyota Tercel or a Miata. Don't tell me you need a car the size of a tank because you have children. You don't need a big car but your children and grandchildren need an environment that isn't trashed and unable to sustain life. Don't tell me you need to haul things either. No one I know had a need to haul things more than a few times a year. For that you can rent a Uhaul a few times.
- Aensland, on 03/01/2008, -1/+35I saw a t-shirt with a picture of a sniper and the slogan, "If all else fails, vote from the rooftops" :D
- TheRealToma, on 03/01/2008, -2/+35"I have two kids. I think it's unfortunate."
I just love taking things out of context :D - bridow, on 03/01/2008, -3/+35um premium is already $4 in San Francisco...
- K31TH3R, on 03/01/2008, -5/+33Ban people who want to ban everything.
- linagee, on 03/01/2008, -9/+35Every idiot out there who is not driving an efficient vehicle is to blame. If everyone was driving an efficient car and went to the absolute cheapest gas stations, the auto makers would see this as a "signal" to make more efficient cars. There would be no need to force them using regulations. (In their heads: What feature do people want? What will they pay extra money for? A 150MPG car? No that never crosses their mind. People demand a 300HP car instead.) Bling bling, all the way to the poor house. Please stop making my gas more expensive with your careless spending.
- SquigglyP, on 03/01/2008, -0/+26He's got some balls talking about Raul Castro and Obama and then turning around and completely disregarding China's leadership in that way. You want tyranny, you want political prisoners, you don't have to look very long at China, who are constantly imprisoning political enemies, and has been known to execute them.
"I'm a sports fan". What a *****. Our president hasn't the slightest spark of intelligence going on upstairs. - rkho, on 03/01/2008, -5/+29Bush is a ***** piece of ***** pussy who acts like a spoiled bitch. I think he and Paris Hilton would make a good couple. Hell, throw in the losers who made Meet The Spartans.
- samfishercell, on 03/01/2008, -1/+25Well I guess these type of things happen when you don't pay for any of the gas you use.
And am I the only one who feels like saying we predict $4 gas is a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy? With everyone acting like $4 gas is already upon us, I don't see why the oil companies don't just raise it to our expectations and pad their pockets with a couple more billion dollars. - linagee, on 03/01/2008, -3/+25Does Bush even know what's going on in the economy? From the video: "...that's interesting. I haven't heard that."
- apc3161, on 03/01/2008, -1/+23Around 5% of Dubai's money comes from oil. They are a very smart country. They've diversified incredible. They took their oil wealth, realized it wouldn't last forever, and invested it like crazy.
- anysillyname, on 03/01/2008, -14/+33Waa Waa we have been paying more than that for over a year now in Australia
- ryanhayn, on 03/01/2008, -10/+291. I got rid of my car.
2. I own a Vespa and a bike.
3. Bush is very stupid. - Railz, on 03/01/2008, -17/+36This is obviously the work of Islamofacists.
- member57, on 03/01/2008, -8/+26Still part of the problem buddy, this ***** didn't happen overnight, anybody is/ was a dumbass if it was thought that cheap gas would last forever. It took $4.00 a gallon to wake us the hell up, the rest of the world has been paying attention for a lot longer.
- Floggeriffic, on 03/01/2008, -0/+18He's only surprised because the script his oil people gave the "experts" said $3.50 and he was sure he had final revision power on all edits.
- Dumbledorito, on 03/01/2008, -5/+22Well, the real problem is that Bush seems unaware of that, or any other reason why oil prices are rising and what the consequences might be.
Starting ***** wars in the Middle East might be a part of it, too, FYI. - member57, on 03/01/2008, -12/+29Dumb asses like her owning SUVs, when a more fuel efficient vehicle will do, should take a nice long look at google earth right off the coast of Dubai and notice these ***** landscaping their beaches with man-made ISLANDS... They are also making snow in the ***** desert. Every time you sink $100 into that ***** box of a vehicle you are paying for their landscaped beaches while you barely meet you mortgage and credit card bills.
- member57, on 03/01/2008, -7/+24Riiiiight, so the ***** down the street with the $50,000 Ford F-350, who works in an office, needs that truck to haul his replacement washer and dryer once every 10 years? So driving that monstrosity everyday justifies this? People who buy those don't actually use them, the people who actually USE a truck buy 10 year old used trucks because they can't afford a new one cause the aforementioned ***** has elevated the pickup to a status symbol. It's like a big dick contest.
- Look4Truth, on 03/01/2008, -0/+16The cost of gas, food, and other items are climbing fast but Bush wants us to believe that a recession isn't coming. It's amazing how anyone could believe anything these people say anymore but yet they do. Just turn on the boob tube and get your truth, they'd never lie to you either.
- kurtergad87, on 03/01/2008, -1/+17Yeah. 4 dollars a gallon is still less than half the normal price in Denmark.
- siszam, on 03/01/2008, -6/+21So you're saying that you bought an SUV because gas was cheap and you can overuse a resource as long as it doesn't cost much? Regardless of the price of gas you should be conserving. It's not about saving money. It's about saving the environment. Now you know, so next time you buy a vehicle you can buy the smallest one to fit your need.
- dulymachine, on 03/01/2008, -19/+34It's because she's a *****.
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 03/01/2008, -7/+22Can she blame Bush for her two kids?
Seriously, who's fault is that? If you're going to bitch and moan about your kids, then hey, don't have kids. - member57, on 03/01/2008, -3/+18No, no my fav is the suburban housewife in a 3 ton Excursion drinking a latte, talking on a cell phone, smoking a cigarette, yelling at her kids, and pulling out of Star Bucks in front of my small car.... Anything over 2 tons should require a CDL!
- tgc1, on 03/01/2008, -1/+15I don't find SUV's terribly useful, but you people seem to always make sweeping generalizations. That nobody, anywhere, needs such a vehicle. Granted, there are a lot of fools out there who buy the biggest vehicle they can get their stupid hands on, but you should consider people like contractors, construction crew, and people who move a lot of gear around. Just because YOU might think people shouldn't use SUV's or never have anything bigger than a tercel, you need to get a grip and get outside a little more often. Not everyones life is the same. If you want to yap about people making stupid buying decisions, why not talk about sports cars that use 8.0 litre V8's. I never hear anybody bitch about those because they're "cool" so then somehow justified.
You people need to get a grip. - inactive, on 03/01/2008, -4/+18i will be happy with 6. Then You Americans would really know how the rest of the world gets by. Seriously 4$ is a freaking bargain for the price Europeans and Asians pay.
- dime, on 03/01/2008, -1/+151. Cool
2. Pretty much worthless unless you work within a few miles of your house
3. Agreed - dxgg, on 03/01/2008, -3/+16FTA: "What's lost by embracing a tyrant who puts his people in prison because of their political beliefs?" Bush said...
Um...Mr. Bush? YOU are a tyrant who puts his people in prison because of their political beliefs. - Misinformant, on 03/01/2008, -2/+15I'd be surprised if he even knew it was at $3.
- coinman987, on 03/01/2008, -1/+14you make republicans look bad
- Vector713, on 03/01/2008, -13/+26To be fair.. a lot of people bought SUVs before the gas surge.. and cannot afford to get a new, more fuel efficient, vehicle. The same happened to me, I'm stuck and I hate it. I'm getting something better ASAP though.
- adooga, on 03/01/2008, -6/+18masterm1nd: I cant figure out if you're being disingenuous or if you really believe that using a car all year and a truck a few times a year can use more gas than doing the same distance in a pickup all year.
On second thought, there's no way you could really believe that and still have enough brain function to type so it's pretty clear that you're being thoroughly disingenuous. - ep53, on 03/01/2008, -4/+16Here in London UK, its $8.27 a gallon.....and you guys are whining about $4. FYI its £1.05 a Litre.....
- artliquide, on 03/01/2008, -0/+11I'm not surprised that Bush didn't believe that we'd reach $4/gallon. It's been close to that amount for the last 8 years, but I doubt that he's touched a gas pump in much longer than that.
