Bush offers assurances to America re: Ike..."People will feel a 'pinch' at the pump"!

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush warned Monday that people will face a "pinch" at the pump because of Hurricane Ike's disruption of energy production, as many consumers already grappling with the high price of gasoline have seen costs soar since the storm made landfall.

Bush said the hurricane's toll on refineries and pipelines is creating"an upward pressure on price" on people.

"There's going to be a pinch," Bush said after a briefing on hurricane recovery efforts. "I wish it wasn't the case, but it is."

Oh Shrub. I wish I could say I will miss your stupid comments and funny Bushisms but alas I am counting the days down until you leave the White House. Too bad we have to wait until January.

5. I'd be more assured of Shemp Howard about to perform dental surgery on me

than any assurance Bush can give, even with the stick of dynamite.
