Remember this?

Peter Maer of CBS News Radio asked: "What’s your advice to the average American who is hurting now, facing the prospect of $4-a-gallon gasoline, a lot of people facing ... "

"Wait, what did you just say?" the president interrupted. "You’re predicting $4-a-gallon gasoline?"

Maer responded: "A number of analysts are predicting $4-a-gallon gasoline."

Bush’s rejoinder: "Oh, yeah? That’s interesting. I hadn’t heard that."

They don't tell him anything important, or perhaps no one in the adminstration could have foreseen $4 a gallon gas. After all, this exchange was a whole three months ago, when gas was merely $3.60 or so a gallon.
