Bush jokes D.C. full of hot air
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/07/29/art.bush.ap.jpg caption="President Bush was in Ohio Tuesday."](CNN) - President Bush has a unique suggestion for easing the energy crisis Tuesday: "They ought to have the biggest wind turbine farm in Washington, D.C., where there's not only a lot of wind there's a lot of hot air."
The president made the suggestion during a speech to workers at Lincoln Electric, a welding plant in Euclid, Ohio, near Cleveland.
The suggestion got a big laugh. The president then turned serious and once again called on Congress to increase U.S. energy supplies by allowing offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf and in part of the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve.
Bush’s visit to Ohio is also to raise money for Republican candidates.

Does he take any of this seriously?
Lots of hot air?,....let me see the producers
BUSH
CHENEY
ROVE
McWAR
and all the Reflipicans around the oval office.
D.C. is full of hot air and corruption and our esteemed President is full of the dark brown stuff. The only people that are more stupid than GW are the millions who voted for him..twice..for the wrong reasons. Unfortunately, we all have to pay for it.
Congress to increase U.S. energy supplies by allowing offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf and in part of the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve.? When will see some results !!!
Oh the irony! And the unmitigated gall!
Makes as much sense as the rest of your policies and plans....you moron.
Most of the hot air comes from McCain !
Hahahaha! Now he develops a sense of humor! That's the truest thing he ever said and if it could be done it would solve all of our energy problems.
Here we go again Big money oil useing the extreme right to push there evil Un American agenda. These extreme right wing nuts that have taken over the republican party care for nothing but themselves and there own money they could care less about the American people!
I told you he's a funny man...see?
"The president then turned serious and once again called on Congress to increase U.S. energy supplies by allowing offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf and in part of the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve."
Okay, first things first: joking isn't going to help the situation. I'm appalled that you're still making so much light of serious issues.
Secondly, "Dumbya", would it KILL you to listen to the people for once in your administrative life?!
From the mouth of the biggest gas bag there is! He should recognize his own kind!
YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE, KNOW THAT TOO WELL.
Georgy-boy: Please talk about the 90 million plus acres that you/oil companies have had for so many years that are not being explored, tapped, investigated, researched, probed, scheduled to be and of the preceding..... and ironically enough not mentioned by you when touting your 'explore for oil' fiction.
Is it an election year?
Use what you already have, or give back what you have, before taking on more to do nothing with for 8 more years.
Mr. Kettle, there's a Mr. Black Pot on line 2 with a message for you.
No way Bush. You wont get your way this time. If there is any action take as far as offshore drilling, it should be done when he is out of office and can have as little influence as possible. I do not trust this man.
THAT I WILL AGREE WITH BUSH.
Yea, most of its in him.
Talk about hot air...well this dude should know it when he sees it...except his doesn't come from his mouth
Ok lets shift the blame! By the way can he spell HOT AIR! Lolol
Bush I voted for you twice,, and the joke was on me.. you got me
The U.S needs a real leader.
not this cowboy puppet the Saudis sponsors.
What's scary is that this guy think he has done a good job. The more you help McCain, the more people will know he will be a failure as well, just like Bush was and is and will continue to be.
arrest him!!!!! deport him!!!! just get him out of our hair. i cant even blame Bush, it was the STUPID people who voted for him. how on earth do you have a vice/President who have to leave the country once their term is over. GW, Dick you two are the worst of us. i am disgusted by the crimes you ave committed, you have dishonored the Office and our Nation. if Obama, as President does not charge you for your crimes, i prey you find a different country to live out your lives in! YOU KILLED 4,100 US SOLDIERS FOR EXXON MOBIL...
He is soooooooooooooooooooo right.
We need to drill and drill NOW.
As always Democrats can’t hear the people.
He should know!
