President Bush: "We've got to get off oil" Email Print

Holy Moly! Did bush just say that?

It's true. That is a real quote by the real Bush.

In an interview with NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, bush was asked about his approval rating (36% in the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll), Bush said, "It's an interesting environment we're in... and yet there's a certain unease. I think some of it has to do with gasoline prices, that I -- which I addressed the other day. I mean, look, we're dependent upon oil, and when the demand for oil goes up worldwide, it affects the price at the gasoline pump and we've got to get off oil. You know, Brian, it's -- you've covered this a lot -- there's a war, there's uncertainty in the Middle East, there's Iraq, there's Iran, and that creates, even though the economy is strong, a sense, you know, unease, but that -- it just means that we've got to complete the mission. And I -- and we will."
