Poor attempt to change the discussion to me.
The point is that rather than Bush even asking OPEC for increased production, he should have been using his limited authority and powerful voice to make a case to the American public about drilling, refineries, nuke plants, coal mining, etc. and thereby change the minds of Congress.
Instead, he embarasses me by holding hands with King Abdullah and getting a big fat NO, while maintaining the status quo. He was punked! Face it now or you will face it later as gas and everything else that uses pertroleum gets exceedingly expensive.
That's exactly what he did and you're buddies in Congress voted him down. But don't let that stop you from spewing your hatred for President Bush.
And furthermore:
It is dem congress wanting Polar Bears on endangered list, so no drilling in ANWR can take place.
It is dem congres that doesn’t want coal used as environmental issue.
It is dem congress who don’t want dangerous nuke plants.
It is dem congress who won’t allow drilling off the coast, or new exploration.
It is dems who pushed for no more refineries to be built.
WHAT IS BUSH DOING? Everything he possibly can with his hands tied behind his back by a USELESS DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS.
NOW you are a Hillary or OBAMA shill, and your facts just don’t hold water. You have decided to come to FR to disgrace Bush and create dissension in ranks of FreeRepublic. NO FACTS JUST BASHING...and you have no government understanding of how the process works!
