Pulling Bush's strings.

Ever see those old westerns where the town drunk and/or idiot gets "elected" as sheriff? The reason is typically that the real powers in the town don't want the laws enforced. That, or the new sheriff is nothing more than a puppet to carry out the unseen powers' agendas.

Enter Bush's State of the Union Address. In front of God and everybody, Bush declared to the world that he was determined to reduce America's dependency on Middle Eastern oil by 75% in the next two decades. The very next day, his lackeys were running around telling the media that Bush actually didn't really mean it.

So, who's words were we hearing during Bush's speech? If they were his own, then whose words have we been hearing since?
