Bush: 'We're Too Dependent on Oil'

President Bush today said he worries that declining gasoline prices will make Americans less concerned about the nation's future energy needs.

"Energy is -- look, let me just put it bluntly: We're too dependent on oil," he said at the Renewable Fuels Conference in St. Louis, sponsored by the departments of energy and agriculture. "Now, see, low gasoline prices may mask that concern."

Bush said he frets that the "low price of gasoline will make . . . us complacent about our future when it comes to energy."

"I want to tell you that I welcome the low gasoline prices," Bush said. "However, it's not going to dim my enthusiasm for making sure we diversify away from oil. We need to diversify away from oil for economic reasons."
...
"And we will continue to research to make sure America's less dependent on foreign sources of oil," he said.

"I believe wind power has got the opportunity to help," Bush said. "All we need is to put a couple of windmills right there in Washington, D.C., and we'll be less dependent on foreign sources of energy," he said to laughter from the audience.
...
"Nuclear power is renewable, and there are no greenhouse gases associated with nuclear power," he said. "One of the problems we've had is that nobody wants to build any plants. They're afraid of the cost of regulation and the litigious nature that surrounds the construction of nuclear power plants."

Does anyone understand what this guy's talking about? Does he?
It's like the president of the United States is a moron.
Would somebody who voted for him please explain to me why?
I hope he doesn't get impeached. It's too much fun observing him melt down.
With a Democratic majority in Congress snipeing at him everyday maybe he'll really distingish himself by becoming the first president to ever to commit suicide in office.
Maybe he'll go 'postal' and take out some of the cranks around him too.
Hope springs eternal.
