America must do more to reduce its dependence on foreign oil

He could, and SHOULD, have stopped the sentence at that point. It's hard to base serious policy on "global warming? Maybe. Human-caused global warming? Less maybe."

Hurry up 2008.... This dude is never going to understand that no matter what he does, they will never like him. Ever. He could french kiss Elton John at the SoU address and the left will still hate him.

2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
2Pe 3:11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

This should almost complete the separation of the conservative movement from the President. The only thing left is the war on terror.

The administration has opened new areas of US territory to oil exploration, granting new licenses for oil prospecting in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska to increase domestic oil production

A good success that we never hear about.

To hell with Global Warming.What the President should be doing is pushing energy independance on this country even if that means he has to do it without the approval of the congress.This is a national security issue. Something the dummiecraps know nothing about.

The President is addressing global warming but not proposing much action on it.

Yet we will hear conservative bashing him ad infinitum nonetheless.

You gotta be fecesing me.

Whatever happened to Bush's "capital" he earned after the 2004 election? It went down the drain as he appeased the Rats and MSM.

Bush and the Republicans just don't get it. They are alienating conservatives with this crap.

Mr Bush is expected to call for higher fuel-economy standards for new cars as well as for greater investment in alternative and renewable fuel supplies, such as ethanol-based alternatives to petrol.

The President placed a big emphasis on hydrogen fuel cells in a SOTU speech a couple years ago. Any progress on that front, or was that just a passing fad?

I think there has been something similar in almost every SOTU message for the last 30 years. It rings hollow at this point, is meaningless and is ridiculous for the President to even go there at this point.

I suggest duct taping mouths of the majority of both Houses of Congress… for starters. Might set off a new ice age.

"The science of global warming and its impact is overwhelming," said Nancy Pelosi, the new Speaker of the House of Representatives. "We want to work with President Bush. But we cannot afford to wait."

We've heard more from Pelosi in her three weeks as Speaker than we heard from Hastert in eight years. ....by a wide margin.

I'm a former Republican Congressional campaign manager and political activist.

Bush is "manchurian" candiate for the wsocialist cause, just like his father, and all the other Yalies.

There is an uber-party that transcends the 2 public parties. It is comprised of senior member of both parties and their private sector associates.

The "uber-party" is progressive, and its primary function is to maintain stability in society and politics while maintaining and consolidating power within a very narrow circle of people.

A de facto aristocracy has been created.

All political power belongs to the most senior, who chair committees.

The name of the form of governance being practiced is "bourgoisie" or conservative socialism. As Marx explained in his writings, the purpose of conservatism socialism is to maintain stability by issuing sufficient largesse to the underclasses in order to keep them happy and avoid unrest.

With the Republicans in both Senate and House of Reps with Bush in Presidency, an imbalance was created that violated the "gentlemans agreement" within the uberparty.

Thus, Bush became a Democrat, from a substantial policy viewpoint. That is why one his first acts in Congress was to endorse and promote ted kennedy's Education Bill. His big photo op was designed to satisfy his Democrat partners that he would ensure that conservtism would not gain ground.

Since then Bush has been more liberal than Clinton in policy.

As far as the Iraq war goes, Kerry would have also attacked. Clinton was the man who had already begun preparing the military and preparing the nation for a war in Iraq BEFORE 9/11.

Clinton was far more aggressive than Bush in the use of the military.

Now, Bush is burying conservatives. The entire sense of hatred against Americans has beemn squarely blamed on neo-conservatives. (real conservatives are even more extreme in their minds)

There is no stopping it as long as Americans are fat, dumb and happy and have stooped being Christians.

Amazing. In this nation of 300 million, the freest democracy on earth, we have so very, very few families that actually control our politicasl system.

The Bushes. presidents, goernors, etc....are they more brilliant than the other 300 million Americans? the Clintons? All the other sons and daughters of senators and congressmen who have their turn now as senators and congressman controlling the most powerful nation in the history of the world?

It is no accident.

We are living in a despotic state. There are degrees.

This is a constituional republic that has been under 100% control of a very small number of people who have created a fiction for the American people.

This is now an oligarchy. conservative is the only threat to it, and Bush is deliberately choking off that threat.

This can't be.

The George W. Bush I voted for would never fold like a cheap suit and try to appease the anti-American socialists and the greedy "scientific community" special interest groups who slurp like pigs from the multi-billion dollar "global warming" gravy boat of government "grant" money....

Would he....??

Though environmental campaigners have pressed the president to commit to a specific target for emissions reduction, Mr Bush maintains that "the way to solve the problem is to promote new technology".

He's right about that.

Sure. Let's use the Global Warming lie to put Hugo, Mahmoud and the Saudis out of business. I'm cool with that.

"America must do more to reduce its dependence on foreign oil..."

Imagine the outcry if this had been
"America must do more to reduce its dependence on foreign cars!"

Silly as it sounds, it would make as much sense.
Should we exhaust our own oil supplies, or should we buy oil on the world market, until such time (if ever) those supplies are depleted, and THEN focus on our own oil?

In the meantime, we don't even do the simple things, like cutting the import duty on ethanol to give U.S. drivers a break!
