Saudis Arabia to President Bush: F@ck Your Couch!
Were we expecting anything less?
And that's not all:
"He was satisfied?" As in, "he didn't throw a hissy-fit because he didn't get what he wanted?" Wow.
Now compare that description of Bush's demeanor to the times he wants the Democratically-controlled Congress to bend to his will (in this instance, the FISA/telecom immunity bill):
Night and Day, Ladies and Gents. Night and Day.
UPDATE: Here's another example of Bush's at-home temper tantrums.
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia’s leaders made clear Friday they see no reason to increase oil production until customers demand it, apparently rebuffing President Bush amid soaring U.S. gasoline prices.
It was Bush’s second personal appeal this year to King Abdullah, head of the monarchy that rules this desert kingdom that is a longtime prime U.S. ally and home to the world’s largest oil reserves. But Saudi officials stuck to their position that they will only pump more oil into the system when asked to by buyers, something they say is not happening now, the president’s national security adviser told reporters.
“Saudi Arabia does not have customers that are making requests for oil that they are not able to satisfy,” Stephen Hadley said on a day when oil prices topped $127 a barrel, continuing to set records. “What the Saudis wanted to tell us was we’re doing everything we can do ... to meet this problem, but it’s a complicated problem.”
The Saudi oil minister, Ali al-Naimi, said the kingdom decided on May 10 to raise production by 300,000 barrels, at the request of customers, and that increase was
sufficient.
“Supply and demand are in balance today,” he told a news conference. “How much does Saudi Arabia need to do to satisfy people who are questioning our oil practices and policies?”
And that's not all:
As a result, Hadley suggested the White House was satisfied with — or at least accepted — the Saudi response. He added, however, the Bush administration will see if the explanation “conforms to what our experts say.”
Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said the discussion with Bush about oil was friendly. “He didn’t punch any tables or shout at anybody,” the minister said. “I think he was satisfied.”
"He was satisfied?" As in, "he didn't throw a hissy-fit because he didn't get what he wanted?" Wow.
Now compare that description of Bush's demeanor to the times he wants the Democratically-controlled Congress to bend to his will (in this instance, the FISA/telecom immunity bill):

Does he normally do that when he's disappointed?
