President Bush pretended to pressure Crown Prince Abdullah in Crawford today, the two acting like they're not practically in the same family.
Bush sought to allay Americans fears that he wasn't doing anything about soaring gas prices by meeting with a close family associate in the oil business and pretending to disagree with him.
"We'll talk about his country's capacity. It's an important subject," Bush said. Saudi Arabia is the biggest producer within the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
"This is an important relationship," Bush said. He greeted the prince, who is in his early eighties, with a kiss on both cheeks and then firmly held his hand to guide him up the stone steps leading to the office on the president's ranch.
The President added, "Heh."
