They don’t have a magic wand to LOWER prices now that they’re at $120 a barrel.

But way back when oil was a hundred or so dollars a barrel less they certainly had a “magic” meeting behind closed doors….

No magic wand needed.

What we need is a POTUS who knows how to preside, how to unite, and how to accomplish great things for his/her people.

What we got is a drunk, loser frat-boy, who treats this job like every other hand-me-down CEO position his daddy ever gave him.

FCUK BUSH, TRAITOR TO AMERICA.

Except then he’d have to admit that God’s not talked to him lately, on this, or any other issue.

All this talk of wand waving is sacriligious, coming from such a supposedly devout Christian. A true Christian would say he’s been praying for guidance, to solve the issue.

It’s not a magic wand we need you to wave, Bushy.

People that know the first thing about economics call them ‘government-imposed maximum prices’ and it seems you lack the ‘political will’ to take ‘action’, Resident Sir.

At least that’s what my magic wand is telling me.

The idiot doesn’t have the magic wand to lower the price of gas. However, he’s been waving a machete chopping the middle class and the economy to a pulp!

I’m going to have to disagree.

President Bush DOES HAVE a magic wand!

Unfortunately, everything he waves it over turns to $hit.

Maybe Jeff Gannon has the White House magic wand.

MapleStreet Says:

“But it isn’t his fault that he doesn’t have a magic wand ! How can he be responsible for what he doesn’t have ?”

I seem to be hearing that a lot from the supporters of this incompetent and corrupt administration. “It’s not his fault, it’s not Wolfowitz’s fault, it’s not dumsfelds fault, it’s not Bertito’s fault, it’s not Yoo’s fault”, and on ad infinitum. And then MapleStreet goes on about another Rethuglican value, responsiblity. Only those that are poor or have not health care or can’t feed their kids are to take “Responsibility” for their lot in life, but if you start a stupid war for oil and increase the cost 5X to the average working American, run the country into a ditch, spy on the American people, and corrupt the Justice Department for political reasons, will there’s no responsible person for the wreak this country is in, because “it’s not their fault.”

Wait until this administration is gone and the people who attended Cheney’s big oil meeting start to blab.

Do you think that people who are being screwed by the high gas prices will be pissed?

You Librals are missing the point. You are expecting Bush to be judged according to his effectiveness, similar to No Child Left Behind.

But it isn’t his fault that he doesn’t have a magic wand ! How can he be responsible for what he doesn’t have ?

Good to hear little Georgie has finished his first book My Pet Goat. Now Connie is reading to him the Harry Potter books. Yes Bush might say he’s going to visit Hogwarts before his term is over. He might be having nightmares as Dick Cheney is really Lord Volemort. It’s so sad when the United States President doesn’t understand Harry Potter is not real. I know the World Leaders and PM Brown are getting a good laugh at that comment. At lease Bush got to endorse his Wife/Daughter’s book as ask people to buy it. Now no one brought Jenna’s first book that someone else wrote while using her name. This Bush Family is really sad and something is really wrong with them I wonder are Daddy Bush and Barbara related?

Too funny!! My grandmother regularly used the expression, “If I could wave my magic wand….” (wand rhymed with “band” for her—) to describe every “fantasy” she envisioned. Guess Bush is the same. A dementia-laden, out-of-touch whacko. The difference — I loved my grandmother, because I saw all her years of being smart, politically astute, involved in the economy, etc. Bush has never shown any of that, except his incompetence in all those areas. Grandma = yes; Bush = no way whatsoever. Sorry, Mr. Bush– she had insights, you have no smarts at all. You are a dolt. She was a competent.

McWars Says:

..there is no magic wand to wave right now.

Then take it out of Gannon’s mouth and get back to us.

Why won’t the Bush Administration release the White House visitor logs?
The white House belongs to the American people and those in it are our employees. Those logs belong to us not to Bush and I want to know why Jeff Gannon made so many visits to the White House and who he was there to “see”.

My bad, I didn’t mean to say “traitor” in the previous post. I meant to say; traitor AND cheap two-bit lying conman.

From the mouth of the good buddy of “kenny Boy” Lay of Enron who engineered that fake energy shortage used to screw the citizens of California.
Bush is a traitor who can’t be trusted.

Oh and somebody tell the idiot that’s not a wand and it’s not magic.

We should hang every idiot who voted for a guy that thought he was unable to accomplish anything as president because he doesn’t have a magic wand. How about voting for a president with half a brain next time rethugs. Oh, and McCain is a quarter short.

Well you guys can be all cynical and negative about the President’s impotence; I choose to see the glass as half-full. If a simple, painless, magical solution to a problem existed, Bush would employ it. THAT’S what I call leadership, don’t you?

Since he lies everytime he opens his mouth, maybe he really DOES have magic wand (as in: he COULD do something if he WANTED to), but then his friends and family might have to suffer, so…you know, he just keeps saying there’s nothing he can do.
