Bush shows he's full of gas

It's obvious that Bush doesn't read the newspaper. I guess Condi didn't tell him that gas is predicted to reach $4 per gallon this summer. He also doesn't care. What he cares about are the profits of the shareholders of petrol corporations.

Bush's press conference:

QUESTION: What's your advice to the average American who is hurting now — facing the prospect of $4 a gallon gasoline, a lot of people facing...
BUSH: Wait a minute. What did you just say? You're predicting $4 a gallon gas?
QUESTION: A number of analysts are predicting $4 a gallon gasoline this spring when they reformulate.
BUSH: That's interesting. I hadn't heard that.
QUESTION: Yes, sir.
BUSH: Yes. I know it's high now.
....
QUESTION: Any restrictions on who can give? Will you take foreign money for this...[GWB Presidential Library]
BUSH: Yes, probably take some foreign money, but don't know yet. We just haven't — we just announced the deal. And I, frankly, have been focused elsewhere, like on gasoline prices and, you know, my trip to Africa, and haven't seen the fund-raising strategy yet.
And so, the answer to your question is really I can't answer your questions well.
