Straight out of Syriana

Today President Bush met privately with King Abdullah, in Riyadh, to convince the Saudis to increase oil production. With the close of the Bush presidency it's striking how little has been done to ween America off oil. Ok, ok, I'm not expecting miracles. I didn't vote for George W. Bush, nor do I agree with most of his policies. That said, you've got to feel a little bad and embarrassed when the president gets totally rejected. Didn't he once mention something about fueling our cars with wood chips?
