Saudis slightly boost oil output as Bush visits

From the article:

"RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia announced a modest increase in oil output on Friday after an appeal from visiting President George W. Bush..."

...I am sick and tired of this bashing Bush for every little thing. I don’t agree with everything but this whine, whine, whine is tiring.

Don’t you think “disaster” is an exaggeration?

Now if Obama gets elected, it will be a disaster.

Oh please.....The big problem lies in the USA refusing to dig in ANWAR or utilize offshore assets or clean coal....or nuclear power plants.

I noticed that too, Navy Vet. It’s part of the price we pay for globalism and GWB: the coming of Oprah’s Obama.

Plus, I forgot to mention that Bush enjoyed both houses of Congress with Republican majorities and has spent us into oblivion.

To keep in theme, Republican Congressmen are also PUNKS because they refuse to fight the Democrats. They want to be liked. Maybe a better definition is PUSSIES. You decide on the term. I just think they are all, from Bush down, a bunch of self-serving self-agrandizing bought turncoats. I could probably name the Constitutionalist members on one hand.

So, the Bush legacy is what? You tell me if you don't agree with my word.

gee do you think Congress' vote to refuse to allow domestic drilling at the same time might have undercut any leverage the President might have had?

B.S. I'm not a great admirer of Bush but one of his first policy initiatives, before the Barbarians flew into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, was to try to get a national energy policy in place. Congress ignored him. If we want to assign blame look no further than the Congress which has consistently made the wrong decisions vide: No ANWAR drilling, ethanol ( Or the Archer, Daniels, Midland profit improvement scheme ), no Nuclear power stations, no uniformity of gas formulations.

Wherever you look the Congress, not Bush, has made the wrong decisions.

"The President, along with the StateSec make foreign policy and it has been a disaster."

We'll have to disagree...

1) During the Bush Administration Libya gives up its nuclear weapons program.

2) During the Bush Administration the black market from Pakistan led by A.Q.Kahn for nuclear weapons technology is broken up.

3) During the Bush Administration North Korea begins dismantling their plutonium enrichment reactors.

4) During the Bush Administration Israel and the U.S.A. destroy Syria's nuclear weapons enrichment reactors.

5) During the Bush Administration, Saddam Hussein who said quite clearly while in jail awaiting his trial that he would have had the U.N. sanctions broken and be in full production of WMDs within a year. That would be the years 2004 - 2005 approximately that Saddam would have been re-armed with WMDs. It now goes without saying the obvious that Saddam will not be getting nuclear weapons anytime soon. Nor will he be directly funding and training the terror group 'Islamic Jihad' which is al-Qaeda and whom blew up two U.S. embassies. (see the recent: Iraqi Perspectives Project).

6) During the Bush Administration the U.S.A. has nuclear weapon ambitious Iran pinned in on both sides from Afghanistan and Iraq which is pure strategic genius.

Under Clinton the countries Pakistan and India successfully test nuclear weapons and North Korea begins plutonium enrichment .

Enviromentalism has been around for years. Most enviromentalist are nothing more then displaced Commies. As for the President, he has made some mistakes but this problem with gas prices are not the president’s fault. The American people are the problem. Americans are lazy and have a small vision. American expect the government to fix every problem in life and most never vote or they only vote for the person whose name they recognize.

The president tried on three different occasions to push an energy package when he first entered the Oval Office and many of the RINOS along when the Sociocrats fought him and laid the proposals on the back table to fade away.

As for our dependency on foreign oil, America gets most of their oil from Canada, Mexico, South America, the North Atlantic and a small percentage comes from the Middle East.

SO PLEASE!!! Stop the small mindedness with this particular issue. The Oil problems started in the 70s and the Democrats answer was higher taxes.

Why judge the president when there are many variables within this issue? Why not support the president and get involved and no matter who your congress person may be, hold them accountable?

This narrow-minded thinking that Americans have been conditioned to believe has gotten old and the time has come to stop finger pointing and get involved.

Thanks!

Yes, yes....America is a joke...America sucks.

Except for Code Pink, Hugo Chavez, Nancy Pelosi, the 'Revs' Wright, Jackson & Sharpton, Bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmadinnerjacket, Ray Nagin, and the citizenry of San Francisco; no one has the insight and bravery to point this out.

How refreshing.

Seems to me had Bush not formally asked the Saudis to up production, lots of people would be clamoring for him to do just that.

‘Man, if I were President, I’d make the Saudis produce more oil! It’s the least they could do!’

There’s no way anyone could demand them to do so, so what do you suggest now? Is it your role to simply declare him a fool? Do you have any alternatives to suggest? Should he make them produce more? He could no more do that than make Congress drill in ANWR.

So what say you? What should he have done or, better yet, what should he do now?
