bush to india to talk about india's dependence on oil

[miami2112]

no kidding.

this was broadcast on wwj 950 am in detroit on my way to school today. the reporters quote was "bush traveling to new delhi to discuss india's oil addiction, which drives up the price of oil for the us."

it may have been his wording, but if not, how do we, the US, tell the 2nd largest population (and a third world country) not to use oil for energy in their economy?

this whole thought process struck me as hypocritical.

Reading things like this makes me wonder how he was voted into office...What arrogance! We still have a few more years to deal with this...Counting the days until sanity is hopefully restored.

actually everything i've read about his visit said he was trying to get them to sign a pact to accept help from the us to improve their nuclear energy sources. could be bold faced lies. could be me misinterpereting...could also be a muck racker/pot stirring reporter.


just for the record i hate bush. i also hate people trying to make every little word/activity of someone they hate into some horrible conspiracy/disservice.

It's probably like this:

Bush: "Hey, India. America is trying to quit it's dependence on oil. How 'bouts you quit with me? You know, form a....a...a real...support system."

Pot.

Kettle.

It's probably like this:

I can imagine him saying that to the Indian president.

BTW, did y'all know the Indian president specialized in aeronautical engineering?

[agate0ph0be]

can he be my president? i mean, it's not like rocket science or anything, but aeronautics is really ace stuff.

Our fastest-growing sport involves watching rednecks driving super-charged muscle cars that are about as fuel efficient as an oil well fire turn left at 100 miles an hour all afternoon, and our Prez is lecturing them on wasting oil?

Hell, as long as he's over there making friends, perhaps he could deliver a surprise announcement involving a plan for offering massive tax breaks and other incentives to US companies in exchange for not outsourcing their tech support and code-hacking work.
