You are a disgrace, because you have democratic rhetoric and not facts. I am moving to a more accurate forum:

President Bush yesterday characterized Capitol Hill Democrats as hypocrites for demanding that Saudi Arabia pump more oil while blocking attempts to increase domestic drilling in such places as Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico.

Saudi Arabia announced on Friday that it would meet Mr. Bush’s request to increase oil production, though the jump of 300,000 barrels per day was less than the president had wanted.

But rather than criticize the Saudis, Mr. Bush — after a round of meetings with Middle East leaders at the Egyptian resort of Sharm el Sheik — instead heaped blame on congressional Democrats for skyrocketing gasoline prices.

“Those who are screaming the loudest for increased production from Saudi Arabia are the very same people who are fighting the fiercest against domestic exploration, against the development of nuclear power and against expanding refining capacity,” said Mr. Bush yesterday after talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

I've read that and heard his recent comments. But where was he when he still had power? Why could he not get the Republican Congress to move forward on a realistic energy bill? Even if every attempt they made was filibustered by the Dims, why did he not bring prominent Republicans before the American people and make the case about Dim obstructionism. Remember when the Dims shut down the fedov and blamed it on the Repubs on national TV? Where was that kind of passion with the Repubs and Bush over such a huge issue?

Face it, other than the tax reduction, he has been week domestically. Also, not the best CIC according to his own Generals.

The guy has been dismal and we will be feeling the effects of his poor energy policies for years, if not decades to come. Of course, I hold no hope for Mclame to turn it around. Anyone who wants to work with Kennedy is a lost cause for conservatives. Bet he gets punked, also. Whatever, have the last word...I'm done.
