Bush chides Congress for inaction on oil

Chicago Tribune ^ | 7/20/08 | Mark Silva

[DallasBiff]

President Bush's love-hate relationship with a Democratic-controlled Congress - alternately calling on leaders for harmonious cooperation and chiding them for irresponsible inaction - churned out an acrimonious message today, as Congress prepares for a summer recess without acting on energy problems.

[DallasBiff]

Nice try Mr. President but the 21st century Marie Antoinette, Madam Speaker of the US House, Nancy Pelosi is on a 2 week book tour, and will tell you to eat some cake.

"The American people are rightly frustrated by the failure of Democratic leaders in Washington to reach common-sense solutions.''

9%

This is old stuff, getting to be ancient history, nearly archeological, thread. Anything Congress might do would not show up until 09 anyway.

[LRS]

Yeah, but black’s got an apology for slavery and Jim Crow (put that into your tank!)

[popdonnelly]

Congress is going to do as little as possible. The Democrats are owned by the environmentalists.

“The American people are rightly frustrated by the failure of Democratic leaders in Washington to reach common-sense solutions.’’

the problem with the above statment is common sense solution. the dem’s have no common sense. therefore nothing will get done...

hey nan how is that book tour going...??

[RightWhale]

The Democrats are owned by the environmentalists.

The enviros are owned by the Dems.

[CRBDeuce]

Yeah, but black’s got an apology for slavery and Jim Crow

be afraid.....be very afraid (but only if you 'own' stuff)

I see that Nancy Pelosi's representaive on FR has shown up.

representaive

IOW, this was posted last week.

If the approval rate for Congress reaches 5%, it should be shut down for not doing the peoples business. The country could be run by the President and the Judical system. I believe the people would go for this since Congress is useless anyway. Cut off their salaries, medical, expense accounts and all other items that cost the country money. Just send them home and if they refuse to do the peoples business, call for an election to replace them. Congress forgets that the people have the right to replace their government any time they wish. Maybe, for the first time in our history, it’s time to do that.

[DallasBiff]

Sorry, the date was a typo on my part. I know that I am just a little serf with human frailties, unlike your Queen Nancy who is a goddess who is going to save the planet.

[Munz]

A great congress we have, they could care no less what we the people want.

President Bush should wait until they leave on recess, then call them back into emergency session to vote on the energy bill. If they attempt to adjourn without action, force a roll call vote on adjournment. Then it becomes a definitive campaign issue.

[ Bush chides Congress for inaction on oil ]

ONLY took him SEVEN LONG YEARS to do it.... too..

[Moonman62]

Another meaningless gesture done with a wink and a smile.

[DallasBiff]

I see that two cynics have shown up. Instead of whining why don't you two applaud that some political action is being done.

Also how come you two don't criticize your Queen Nancy for her inaction?

Doing her part to hasten Global Warming, July 29, 2008
By Chaz Smith

The democrat matron of global warming hysteria is doing her part to destroy the planet by writing an unnecessary book - to be made out of paper and ultimately tossed in a landfill?

Even if her publishers are using recycled paper, they are still using materials that could be used for a better purpose. The printing process and delivery of the book also squander valuable energy and resources that could go to better use.

So park your SUVs and turn off your air conditioners… Nancy needs the power to make profits from her book.

Anyone who buys this book should, out of deference for the planet, multipurpose the material and use it for toilet paper - preferably before they read it.

"Drilling" being used as political capital is just a gambit.. and has no resemblance to intelligent policy.. a stopped clock is correct twice a day but still should not be used to tell time..

BIG government republicans are stealth democrats..
Always in every case.. completely and absolutely..
AND should be watched, MARKED... as democrat agents..

McLaim is also, "a Unite'er not a Divide'er"...
That has united many republicans with democrats.. as Bush has..

“...acrimonious message”

When W points out Dem inaction, its “acrimonious”.

When Harry calls W a loser or Nancy calls him a failure, it’s ummmm uncommented upon.

Nancy and Harry think they can hold and extend their majorities in November. Until polls change, they won’t do anything.
