The President usually puts me at a loss but has anybody noticed that his preferred governing style seems to be, "Give me the powers of a Monarch and despite my record so far I'll save the day."   I'm surprised he hasn't just declared that rising gas prices are part of the War on Terror and declared Congress' authorization of force legislation allows him to unilaterally set fuel standards. 

BTW, did anyone else laugh when Bush said in this piece, "... I intend to use it wisely if Congress will give me that authority"?

no, that guy's (and his appointees' and delegates') statements about his authority vis-a-vis Congress' authority are way too scary and disingenuous to laugh about; but ali snarfed coffee when POTUS said "One reason there's tight gasoline supplies is we haven't built any new refineries since the 1970s. . ." because, of course, _another_ reason is that he was asleep at the wheel when a bunch of our refining capacity (admittedly, only 5% or so) was knocked off line.
