Things I Would Love To Hear My President Say

On oil prices: "Overpriced foreign crude oil threatens to strangle the American economy. I cannot let that happen. Environmental extremists and liberals in Congress have damaged our nation by insisting on unreasonable restrictions on domestic oil production. My presidency is committed to a three-fold solution to the problem: First, we will press the new leaders in Iraq to make protection of their oil production a top priority and to sell their oil to the United States and our allies at half the current price on the world market. Second, I'm calling on Congress to immediately approve legislation to explore and drill in ANWR. Third, we will build new refineries. We will bring back reasonable fuel prices as we transition to alternate sources of energy. As your president, I will see to it."
These are just a few of the many things I would love to hear my president say.
