Yep, this is the result of 6 years of failed Bush policies, he goes to the House of Saud to beg for help.

This must be some sort of definition of “returning honor and dignity to the White House” that I was unaware of:

……These days, President George W. Bush needs the world’s biggest exporter of crude more than it needs him.

With oil at about $90 a barrel, the U.S. economy at risk of sliding into recession and American banks trying to raise cash to ride out the subprime-mortgage crisis, Bush has become a supplicant for Saudi financial help.

….

Senator Hillary Clinton tried to turn it into an object of derision by describing Bush as “begging the Saudis” to cut the price of oil. “How pathetic,” she said.

I got your back on this statement, Hill.

Pathetic.
