Yep, the left doesn’t have a leg to sand on here. I’m still of a mind that our team didn’t do it’s job either.

Bush had a majority in Congress. What did he do with it?

Now you’ve got T B Pickens saying drilling won’t end our dependency. (fortuitively, it ran while I wrote this to you)

This nation has lost it’s collective mind.

True enough about George W. Bush.

He is not very effective when it comes to using the bully pulpit.

He should have been more forceful about ANWAR during his two terms. And why did he wait all these years to finally unsign his old man’s edict about offshore drilling?

As for T. Boone Pickens, he’s been running his “wind farm” commercials here in Maine, and I always yell at the TV when he says “we can’t drill our way out of this problem.”

Why not? The Saudis have done OK for themselves by drilling away, and so has Venezuela, Iran, Russia, the UAE, etc.

We have plenty of oil offshore and on land.

What we lack are elected leaders with the fortitude to drill for this oil and to publicly tell the environmentalists to go pound sand.
