1. you know what I see here?

remember when John Kerry went hunting during the campaign?

[Richardo]

2. "Do you have black people here?"

:eyes:

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. "You actually have to fill up your own tank and pay for it?"

"How does that work?"

[tridim]

3. Gawd I wish the last pic was that dude punching the Oil President

in the gut. That's what I would have done.

[Lib Grrrrl]

6. I Woulda Kicked His Ass

come up to northeastern Pennsylvania, Mr. Pretzeldent...puh-leeeze!! I've been wanting to kick your ass over these high gas prices for YEARS!!

4. S-C-H-M-U-C-K

Isn't that the same shirt he wears at every single photo-op??

5. What does he know about the effects of high gas prices?

He flies around and gets driven around the entire country using our tax dollars to make speeches and stop in a Repuke fundraisers. What a butt. It is also pathetic that people are now angry with him and his poll numbers are falling because of gas prices. I guess dead soldiers in an illegal war does not bother them, but God forbid they should pay more for gas.

[Lib Grrrrl]

8. Hey

look...take what we can get...at least they are waking up. Fact is...hit 'em in the wallet, and then they wake up.

Now that the average American's ox is getting gored, they are waking up.

Hate me if you will, but the whole Iraq thing has not bothered me even 1/4 as much as the high gas prices!! Why?? The Iraq War never affected me DIRECTLY. The gas prices have.

I suspect many Americans are the same way I am in this regard. They never cared much about the dead soldiers or illegal war, because it did not affect them PERSONALLY. The high gas prices DO.

I know where you are coming from, but, hell...take what we can get, at least Amurikkka is finally waking up to what an asshole Bush is.

15. Everything Repukes do comes with a price tag.

I am not willing to be lured in by a measly $100. that I will have to claim on my taxes as income. I know people are waking up. I am just wondering what is taking them so long. And I do think it is sickening not to think about the war and what our troops are going through. That should affect everyone personally. Empathy, my friend. The most important thing we humans should practice. Empathy. When you hear of the death of a soldier, just picture his/her family sitting down at the dinner table when the military car pulls up in front of the house.........Empathy.

16. You make an interesting point, and one that probably deserves its

own thread. Fer instance, if you do what is suggested by the other reply to your post, don't you also have to consider the Iraqi's that the soldier has killed and the effects that has on those that were close to him/her?

As I said, it get very complicated very quickly and there is a great deal of moral ambiguity in dealing with every aspect of war.

7. Impromptu, my ass.

Nothing this WH does is that. I bet those guys were picked out weeks ago.

[Lib Grrrrl]

10. Agreed

I'll even go a step further, and register my suspicion that the other guys in the picture are Secret Service agents in plainclothes!

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. Yet another staged photo op by the Marinated Oil Regime, for the

Monkey King, to show how in touch he is with the regular people. :rofl:

[Richardo]

9. "See, what we have here is what I call "high gas prices".

"That's because what I call "the oil market" is priced too high."


"What we need to do here is get to drillin' in what I call the "Alaskan Wildlife Preservation". Caribous; they don't need gas. Probably like it standin' next to a nice warm oil *pipeline*. Get out of the wind and skeet. Sleet."


"What I'm tryin' - what I'm sayin' - what I mean is - if we're going to give you people *relief* - get it down to a reasonable $2.60 per gallon - we got to get the other guys movin."


"Some say this is improbable - impossible. Well I say, may God continue to Bless America!"

11. Richardo

[JohnnyRingo]

12. Well done...Hahahaha

[Richardo]

[ContraBass Black]

18. Isn't that a British Petroleum station?

Businesses painted red, white, and blue make better photo ops.

[Lefty48197]

21. Import vehicle.

[lectrobyte]

22. The guy in the blue cap is thinking: I bet I can head-butt his sorry ass

before the Secret Service tasers me...

[Kansas Wyatt]

23. Or

'I wonder if I can drench him, before Secret Service gets here and uses the TASER... Poof! hee hee hee'

[OxQQme]

24. What you prolly don't see

just out of the frame is the 200 or more SecretService peeps and a line of limos for the traveling circus and camera crews and their trucks.

[insane_cratic_gal]

25. I betcha he didn't buy that man's gas!

Does this asshat have an credibility with anyone? He's like Bolton's new puppet.. it borders on pathetic.
