Yeah but they did make the use of incandescent light bulbs illegal. How will we light our caves?? Hard to say since their energy policy is matchless.

PUN INTENDED!

Sometimes I wonder if Bush isn’t just a little happy the democrats took over, since when he DID push good policies the republicans in congress turned tail and ran like scared rabbits.

At least this way he has someone to work against.

But mostly, I just get upset that in many cases this President knows what is right, and clearly says what should be done, but then NOTHING happens. It’s all words.

Senator Charles E. Schumer’s (D-NY) response: “Unless the [Bush] Administration gets [the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries] OPEC to increase oil supply, American consumers are going to be in for a scorching summer of $4 gasoline with no relief in sight.”

Typical thinking from one of the dumbest people in Congress...perhaps second only to Queen Pelosi.

Oh, BTW Chuckie, gas was a dollar a gallon cheaper when you Dems took over Congress, so why is it Bush's fault this time?

There is much hope here if someone in the Republican party has the smarts to run with it. Forget McCain, it is the rest of the ticket we have to worry about. I’m willing to bet that a large percentage of the country will grasp what the President is saying here. All that’s left to do is point out that it is Nancy’s & Harry’s party and policies that are preventing a fix to the problem. If the 2006 election was about the Republican’s failure to act, then is should be equally easy to make 2008 a referendum on Harry and Nancy.

Throughout this economic downturn it has seemed as if Congress, the Federal Reserve and other government agencies have reacted to the crisis rather than thought of productive ways in which they could lead on the issue.

Socialists/Collectivists (including OPEC) are NEVER part of any solution. They are the problem.
