Question about whether Treasury Secretary Snow is leaving. High cost of gas.

Bush: He has not talked to me about resignation and I think he's doing a fine job. The economy is strong. Strong first quarter this year. 4.7% unemployment rate. Productivity up. Home ownership high. Small businesses doing well.

People concerned about rising fuel prices. All the more reason to get off oil.

It's because Blair is with him, probably.

Usual smash of the economy using public's concern over gas prices, etc. Reporter wants to know if Treasury Secretary Snow is resigning. President says no, and that he's doing a fine job.

Bush: One way we can help to lower gas prices is regulatory relief and build new refineries.

Thanks Peach -- you're an amazing transcriber!


I'd certainly prefer Tony Blair over Bill Clinton for the UN!

Thanks. The type of aircraft used by Blair, and by the Queen, for that matter, has always been a mystery to me.

Wikipedia indicates this, however:

International and intercontinental travel had traditionally been made using a Vickers VC-10 airliner from the squadron; however as those aircraft have grown older and obsolete, with many now out of service, the Prime Minister has increasingly turned to chartering aircraft from British Airways (most commonly a Boeing 777 is chartered).

It also says that Blair proposed a dedicated Airbus for his and the Queen's use; however, the money will not be appropriated until at least 2008.

So, it appears Blair does use chartered BA jumbos.

The reverse of the drive-by media's campaign to talk down the economy for the past 5 1/2 years.

President: Lawsuits running good doctors out of practice and running up the cost of medicine and medical care.

Question 5 - Will SecTreas Snow leave anytime soon, and asking how can the economy be good with rising health-care and gasoline costs.

Bush - John Snow isn't leaving, and lists how well he did his job. Pushing alternatives to oil (sounds like he's given up on ANWR), and some relief from regulations so new refineries can be built. As for health-care, get rid of the lawsuits.

The HOUSE approved a bill to drill in ANWAR.

Definitely Blair over Clinton.

President: No question Iraq war has created a sense of consternation in America. When we turn television on and see incoccent people die, it's upsetting. We have a strategy for victory. The unity government, the speculation was whether we would even get one. Well, we have one.

What gets me is the libs harp & harp on gas prices. They want to destroy the oil companies. Yet, gas prices are determined globally. I thought the libs liked the "global" idea!

The House approves ANWR all the time. It's the Senate that won't do anything.

I don't know. I WANT MORE REFINERIES. It's the Senate (of course) that's holding things up.

Frustrating, isn't it? Dam* media. I hate them. More than the Democrats. What am I saying? They're one and the same.

Did you see that ABC's blog told viewers tonight to watch for homoeroticism between the President and Prime Minister?
