Road - yes. He said that right now because of damage to the delivery systems and the cutback by one of the refineries there were going to were going to be short term shortages in some areas. I think his point was "Don't run out tomorrow and top off all of yopur tanks and gas cans and there shouldn't be a problem" but the way he said it sounded better than it comes across in print.
I think if you are going to be incredulous about something he said a better comment swould be his response this morning to a question about Bill O'Rielly's assertation that right now oil companies should take an across the board 20% cut in profits in the better interest of the nation. Bush responded that he would rather see the american people come together to contribute cash to the emergency efforts.
All I could think of was an episode of the West Wing where Bartlett is trying to sidestep a question in a press conference. When he finishes his effort, Danny (the reporter) responds... I'm sure that was an answer to some question, Mr. President, it just wasn't an answer to mine.

LOL! The best mumbled comment I ever heard from a Real Reporter was Anderson Cooper at the Democratic National Convention. He was asking one of Kerry's aides about Internatinal Affairs, ...something to do with Europe, and the aide gave him this bland political answer and he said; "yeah well, I know Mr.Kerry speaks French and all, but what has that got to do with .......

"Today Mr. Bush said only buy gas if you need it. I only buy gas when my tank is filled."
Gee, you should run for President. Of course people with 3/4 of a tank running to fill up before the price goes up or "before it runs out", have nothing to do with price increases or shortages. Nahhh, couldn't be.
I have yet to find anyone who pastes a quote intending to mock the President to be nearly as clever as THEY think they are.
