Does Hillary really think that a SPEECH will lower gas prices?
Did anyone catch the inane bullshit that she was saying on Olbermann tonight? She claimed that by giving a speech about pursuing alternative energy, we would see an immediate drop in oil prices because the world would know that we were serious about it.

I thought that words didn't matter?

1. hey! you're right...
words don't pay your mortgage or put food on your table..
but they obviously can fill your gas tank for less...

2. Neocons are big on symbolism
Theres no greater symbol of neocon disdain for the voters than a speech by a President to blow smoke up the ass of the electorate about an issue thats hurting millions of working people while not really giving a crap about solving the problem.

Hillary should join the circus.

That's where the clowns belong.

7. Dripping with irony
To which Hillary has consistently proven herself immune.

8. Oh yeah! She's Bush in drag. Remember his comment about "jawboning" the Saudis to lower oil price$?

Didn't the Saudi's say FU to lowering oil prices to Cheney's face?

Hillary thinks a speech will be the thing that does the trick?

Wow.
