"There is no short term solution," Bush said. "The president doesn't have a magic wand. You can't just say, 'Low gas.' "

(end snip)

How about sayin "no war" or " no spyin" or "no bankruptcy" or "universal health care"? Huh Smirk?
You got some time left. Just say it. If you repeat them enough, you might think they are true.

1. Bush 2000: "I'll "jawbone" the Arabs to keep oil prices in check"

slightly paraphrased.

[MadMaddie]

9. Well gee, if I were president

I would bring down gasoline prices through sheer force of personality, by creating enough political good will with oil-producing nations that they would increase their supply of crude.

I would work with our friends in OPEC to convince them to open up the spigot, to increase the supply. Yeah that's the ticket, I'd use the capital that my administration will earn, with the Kuwaitis or the Saudis, and convince them to open up the spigot.^*

Q3JR4.

12. It's hard to make a judgement on his worst press conferences

but today's must represent the nadir of presidential press conferences

[Lint Head]

13. If I had a magic wand this administration would disappear.

:dem:

14. This is what Bush sees as a magic wand

[Fovea]

15. No magick wand

but the old sledge hammer is working just fine.

I sure hope you weren't counting on Paraguay, Mr. Deciderer.
I hear they have extradition now.

[Uncle Joe]

16. That's what Laura said,

the pResident doesn't have a magic wand, but she said it was a short term solution and there was lots of gas.

Thanks for the thread, deminks.

17. Uhh..... I think we realize that

And YOUR presidency has definitely put that myth to death.

[jody]

18. Sadly, presidents have their finger on the trigger to unleash murder and chaos on innocent peoples.

[bdamomma]

24. I only wish we could turn the tables on that.

[SunDrop23]

19. I don't need a magic wand to say F*CK YOU! (n/t)

[JohnyCanuck]

20. He might not have a magic wand,

but the guy has reportedly had intimate conversations with the Lord Almighty, conversations in which George assures us he is told directly from heaven which foreign leaders/evil-doers God wants him to take out. You would think George could just bring up the issue of high oil prices in his next chat with God and ask politely that God give everyone a break and bring prices down to a reasonable level once again.

[ladjf]

21. Magic wand not required. Integrity and intelligence is. That's our

problem.

[ldf]

22. that's not what he told jimmy-jeff gannon

i just bet.

on multiplie occasions. like about 200 visits to the whitehouse, if i remember correctly.

[bdamomma]

23. what an arrogant POS.

this is our nightmare.
