President Bush wised up yesterday and did his part to get America on its way to energy independence by lifting the presidential ban on off shore drilling. Bush hopes his move will spur the do-nothing congress into action to do their part by lifting the congressional ban as well.
The usual crowd of nit wits and naysayer were a gassed (or would that be out of a gassed) at President Bush’s move. You’d think Bush personally dumped 100 million barrels of oil all over California’s beaches. Well he didn’t and without congresses action, the status quo ante remains – NO DRILLING.
So what’s the big deal? Bush might as well have signed a presidential proclamation that temperatures wouldn’t be allowed above 78 degrees this summer for all the good it have done. There won’t be any drilling any time soon because Democrats remain committed to $5-$6 a gallon gasoline.
B-HO admitted as much when said he wasn’t upset with $4 gas just that it went to $4 so quickly – this from the genius that said we couldn’t drive our SUVs or keep our homes cool in the summer or warm in the winter or even eat as much as we wanted.
Hey B-HO if gas got $4 so quickly, what makes you think $5 isn’t just around the corner? And the real truth, for Dems, about the cost of gas is that it got to $4 with the oil companies reaping the profit. Had the gas gone from $2 to $4 overnight by a federal gas tax, you can bet B-HO and the Dems would be dancing in the streets.
So Bush takes the symbolic step of lifting a presidential ban on off shore drilling and the libs go nuts – even though it doesn’t change anything. That is one more reason to love George W. Bush, just by living he aggravates liberals to distraction.

I read recently that in 1996 Pres Clinton would not sign to allow drilling in Anwar. The reason he gave was that it would take 10 years to develope and we needed to develope alternate energies. The reason given most often today by the liberal congressional non-drillers is that it will take 10 years to develope and we need to develope alternate energies. Same problem, same answer, and same failure. The patients have firm control of the congressional asylum. I envision this discussion with God.
"Lord, why have you beseeched us at this time? Our little ones suffer as we struggle to meet our energy needs? Pray tell what we are to do?" And the resonating answer is," Cast off the idiots and drill for the oil I have given you!Develope coal, nuclear, and other sources as well!"
I guess God has done his part.
