Major crisis looming in the USA?

It is well known that one should never say never! But hearing Bush urging his citizens to use their cars only if they really have to is not something you hear often!
hurricane Katrina knocked 8% of the US oil refining capacities out!
The gasoline price is increasing fast, due to shortages, or fear of shortages.
Bill O'Reilly himself (another surprise) is urging people to save gasoline, and he is even warning the oil companies that they should not profit from the shortages by rising prices. He promises to keep a close watch on what they will do and says that they should takes prices down in order to reduce their profit by 20%!
Meanwhile experts are really pessimistic for the coming winter since the price tag for heating private homes might skyrocket. They are telling people to take their thermostats down, and better isolate their houses.
All this sounds like doomsday for Americans if you ask me. They are so used to consume oil without thinking of the consequences...

On another matter, the National Guard can't face the needs of soldiers in New-Orleans to protect the city... because too many of the ones who would be needed at home are in IRAQ!!!!
Now I am curious to see if the Americans will get really pissed off at Bush!
After all they are finally suffering first hand the results of his actions for the past 5 years...

Time will tell!
