Because he sure hasn't done one thing to alter that reality.

Anybody can make a speech. I speak at events quite often.

He was simply trying to make his Halliburton Corp. buddies in Iraq smile.

nothing coded about it
he is as arrogant as he is incompetent
his texas buddies keep on smoking those cuban cigars and laughing all the way to the bank
i cannot believe some of you guys think there are no alternatives to oil burning combustion engines
do you not know that when something is invented the oil companies buy the patents and put the technology in the drawer for later
there is too much money to be made
wake up and smell the roses before the greenhouse gases make them disappear

Not really coded, the oil companies know this.
But what would you have him do? Outlaw oil?
Every society on earth has always needed a souce of power. Oil is what we have now. Someday, we may use something else.
Oil is a beneficial product. Everyone in the world is kept alive with it.

No conspiracies or coded massages here - Bush was just stating the obvious.
America IS addicted to oil - in every aspect of our lives and especially in our economy.
And if you're looking for alternative energy sources, you can bet the farm they won't be forth coming from the likes of Exxon/Mobile $$$$$$$$$$$$.

I don't know if was sending a message to his oil backers, but I'm sure the oil cartel understands that it needs to continue to feed Americans' addiction to black gold. Without it, we might actually have to walk to work, use paper or canvas shopping bags, and turn our thermostats down in the winter! -RKO- 09/20/07

He was just paying lip service to the American people like he always does....His family made a lot of their money in oil...He has a vested interest in the oil business. Anyone who thinks he's going to do anything of any significant value to reduce how much money the oil industry makes of this country is incredibly nieve....I can't wait til the moron is out of office....
Worst president ever!!!!

America isn't addicted to oil, it has no choice but use oil since the automobile has not advanced in technology in the last 80 years, except for the hydrogen cars that appear for a day then disappear the next.
Who killed the electric car?

Didn't he say that same thing 7 years ago in another speech? And every year since becoming President? He doesn't need to send them a message they already know it.

No, Bush doesn't play those games. The ONLY coded message that I know of from the President of the United States of America was when slick willey wiggled his tie during a national television broadcast which was a signal to Monica that he was thinking about her. You know, the intern that he used to cheat on his wife and the first lady of this country. POOR FORM.

As I keep in mind, the media did not do something gleeful, and the pundits bashed him for pointing out the plain, something primary for some years. What have you ever carried out? Bush is carried out. FINITO. The applicants working to interchange him have right here to grant: not something in this venture. for this reason, Obama wins the tiebreaker with a imprecise fact approximately exchange.
