President Bush is considering an address to the nation asking citizens to conserve energy, a top White House source says. Bush ordered the release of oil from federal petroleum reserves to help refiners affected by Hurricane Katrina. Bush returned to Washington on Wednesday to oversee the federal response to the historic disaster. He plans to coordinate federal efforts, across more than a dozen agencies, to assist hurricane victims. “Still undecided is whether or not to call for a nationwide effort to reduce energy consumption during this emergency,” a top Bush source explains. “It is seriously being considered.” A second White House source says there are no plans for the president to address the country on gas.

Now there’s a smart move, emulating the second worst speech by the second worst president in US history. Hard to believe Bush or Rove would think of doing it.
