Lets see…”I’ll award my buddy Dick’s former company the entire Iraqi oil fields after I used thousands of Americans lives and hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to get at it, then I’ll sit on my hands and look the other way while US pump prices rise, and then I’ll give myself/the oil companies my family has been involved with for decades 8 billion in subsidies (a cheap word for free money taken out of working American’s paychecks) to “stop the prices from rising” heh heh…then I’ll pretend like Terri Schiavo is a BIG DEAL to me personally so everyone knows (or thinks they know) where my priorities are.” I’m starting to see why Bushie and Clinton keep turning up at world events joking around together. Big Bill is Little George’s wag the dog idol.
