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

107th House of Representatives:
51.5% = 48.5%
R's = 219-222
D's = 208-211

108th:
52% - 48%
R's = 225-229
D's = 205-207

109th:
53% - 47%
R's = 232-229
D's = 201-202

110th:
46.0% - 54.0%
R's = 198-202
D's = 231-234

When you consider McCain always voted with the rats, along with a few of his RMP buddies when necessary, on all things ANWR, the President didn't enjoy much of a "republican" majority of CONgress.

Again, the 109th and the 108th were the prime target sessions. The House did some good work, only to be shot down by the limp wristed sInate!

How ALL the failures are President Bush's fault remain a mystery to me.

" How ALL the failures are President Bush's fault remain a mystery to me."

They aren't, I realize that. He has had some successes.

However, regarding this energy issue, all Bush has done is to give lip service and bend to the will of the Congress. Yes, Congress writes the legislation, but if you recall the Executive Branch can also submit legislation for consideration. Plus, he lost his veto pen other than what, twice?

Like I said above, if he been more aware of the coming energy shortfall, as even us laymen could see, he could have made his case to the American populace. He didn't even try. Now we are facing a crisis of immense proportion. Just wait, you will think back to this article and realize our own President got punked and you will be paying for it and pissed off.
