War On Reality Part 99 ; Bush Turns Statement On Gustav Into Push For Oil Drilling

Unconnected, uncaring, unsympathetic, unpresidential; all of these and more can be used to describe the small speech President Bush gave this morning about the federal and local response to Hurricane Gustav.

He didn't mention people and inform residents about the state of the region, instead he launched straight into how Gustav highlights the need for offshore drilling.

Tell The Truthiness Says ; Hurricanes and increased offshore drilling are connected in the same way that chocolate biscuits and rabbits are connected.

Saunter To The White House 96 ; McCain For Offshore Drilling, Like Brother Bush

The President is going to make efforts on Wednesday to overturn the ban on offshore drilling. Which is handy for some, since John McCain is in favour of this, despite changing his mind from previously being against this.

Tell The Truthiness ; A vote for McCain is a vote for a third Bush term? Seems pretty accurate.
