CNN teaser from the weekend: "Is the President keeping all of his promises when it comes to energy?"

I was flipping channels on Saturday and caught this gem. I realize that it's a bit old, but it stuck with me for a couple days. Seriously, ALL OF HIS PROMISES???? How about any?

I suppose the answer could be "yes" if you qualified who the promises were made to. If it's his oil buddies, the answer is a resounding "yes." In any event, just another bit of evidence in the continuing story of how CNN has become such a pile of crap.

6. Except he did promise to "jawbone the Saudis" if gas prices went up.

I guess "jawbone" doesn't mean what we assumed.

8. Is "jawbone" Republicon-speak for "blow job"?

The Saudi oil minister said in July that the market is "flooded" with oil. It's the traders/traitors folks, not a supply issue.

9. I was going to suggest that as the alternate meaning.

Bush sure is one sneaky SOB.

2. I become so antagonized when the media plays dumb like this...

I'm glad I wasn't watching or I'd be having to pay for a tv.

5. I'm sure we're all holding our breath

My goodness, what ever could the answer be? Tell us, tell us, oh please, tell us, wise oracles at CNN! How benevolent and just has the greatest president of all generations done in keeping his promises? Will the chocolate ration be increased to 20 grams next month?
