where do you start with the outright lies on this one?

Mr. President. Oil prices today rose above $118 a barrel. It’s another record. Are Saudi Arabia and other oil producers — are they our adversaries, or have you had any success with your recent appeals with them? And also, the effect of the gasoline prices, isn’t that about to erase or certainly erode the benefit of the economic stimulus package?”
Bush: “No question rising gasoline prices are like a tax on our working people. And what’s happening is, is that we’ve had an energy policy that neglected hydrocarbons in the United States for a long period of time, and now we’re paying the price. We should have been exploring for oil and gas in ANWR, for example. But, no, we made the decision — our Congress kept preventing us from opening up new areas to explore in environmentally friendly ways. And now we’re becoming, as a result, more and more dependent on foreign sources of oil. . . .
