It’s as if our addict-in-chief is saying to us: “C’mon guys, you know you want a little more of the good stuff. One more hit, baby. Just one more toke on the ole oil pipe. I promise, next year, we’ll all go straight. I’ll even put a wind turbine on my presidential library. But for now, give me one more pop from that drill, please, baby. Just one more transfusion of that sweet offshore crude.”
Yeah, we'll just keep mainlinin' under Bush's oil company administration. Maybe under a real President we can reduce it to skin poppin' until we can get on the Methadone program of a real energy policy.
That’s what a real president would do. He’d give us a big strategic plan to end our addiction to oil and build a bipartisan coalition to deliver it. He certainly wouldn’t be using his last days in office to threaten Congressional Democrats that if they don’t approve offshore drilling by the Fourth of July recess, they will be blamed for $4-a-gallon gas. That is so lame. That is an energy policy so unworthy of our Independence Day.
Some of us know who to blame: a president whose oil 'policy' was to go to Iraq and steal it and couldn't even do that right. He's good at lettin' his cronies and pals steal all they want from us though.
