What is with you people?
love2coupon, and everyone else, have you forgotten that WAR WAS DECLARED ON US ON 9/11? Over 3,000 of US died that day & then add to that the economic damage.
Gas prices: well, we're living in a bubble on that issue. Back in the late 60s and into the 70s gas should have NEVER been .35 cents a gallon while the rest of the world paid $2-3 then!
You want to blame some one for high gas prices? Blame the damn tree-huggers & those in congress who cow-tow to them. There is more oil in the Gulf of Mexico or Alaska than in all of the Mideast...HUGE reserves in Texas, Oklahoma but we can't drill for it...and if we could we could not refine it; there has not been a new refinery build here in 30 years.
How about Coal? I'm sure West Virginia would love to be able to answer the call for more coal. Is it dirty? Not anymore! In fact, the military now gets about 35% of its energy from refined coal.
Atomic energy...do you know a new reactor has not been built in this country in 30 years. France is 80% powered by AE. Germany gets nearly 50% from AE. Things have changed since Three-Mile Island and we have...HAVE to move past that.
Wind Power...hell, even Teddy "I like booze & broads" Kennedy blocked one that would have been near the family compound in Massachusetts.
Blame the tree-huggers, not Busch.
has he been a good president? probably no better than average...certainly not a candidate for impeachment.
