this must be one of the most ridiculous parts of tonight’s state of the union speech “President Bush will say “America is addicted to oil” and must develop technologies to address soaring gasoline prices”
this is from Bush says U.S. addicted to oil
well duh.
i guess he is not the smartest but he is also not the quickest. it took him more than 5 years to get to this insight. all the world has been talking about america’s high oil consumption and all he used to say was that we are going to drill for more oil in alaska or that that was just the way it is. and now suddenly he wakes up. amazing.
i won’t say that i am glad to hear it, it will certainly have to be measured but the action the administration takes. if this is just hot air which i assume it is with anecdotes of how the business will save the day then nothing will change. but maybe bush read friedman’s column in the nyt last week … well yes, as if that happens.
