I guess the same way Bush was blamed for blowing up the levees in New Orleans.....and bringing down the World Trade Center....taking vacation when he visited his own home in Texas during his term in office.....the list is long.

No one blamed Bush for blowing up the levees. They blamed him for having a crony w/ no experience head up FEMA, and the slow federal response time as a result.

Thats quite irrelevant....and has nothing to do with my post.

perhaps you need a little history lesson ........................


Offshore drilling for oil and natural gas near the coasts of the United States was banned by Congress in 1981 after outcries caused by pollution from accidents and spills. In 1990, President George H. W. Bush issued executive orders supporting the ban, orders rescinded by his son, President George W. Bush, in 2008 as gasoline prices spiked and the cost of oil became a significant issue in the presidential race. While a candidate, Barack Obama favored a much more modest opening of the coastal fields than did his rival, John McCain, whose motto was “drill here, drill now.’'

In November 2011, the Obama administration announced its proposed five-year plan for offshore oil drilling,which calls for opening new areas in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska but bars development along the East and West Coasts.

How bout we start here...

Washington, DC – Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) sent a letter to President Obama, asking him to support legislation that will bring immediate relief to American families and small businesses being crushed by high gas prices. H.R. 2003, the Taxing Speculators Out of the Oil Market Act would target Wall Street speculators that are responsible for unnecessarily inflating the price of gas up to 80 cents a gallon.

“Wall Street speculators are manipulating the gas market to make massive profits while middle class families are digging deep to pay for skyrocketing gas prices,” DeFazio said. “I asked President Obama to support my legislation to end this unnecessary speculation and bring immediate relief to Americans struggling to fill up their tanks. Congress has a choice. Either it passes legislation that goes after the excessive Wall Street speculation causing these skyrocketing prices or it once again kicks the can down the road with half-measures that only score political points.”

it would be nice to shave 80¢ off a gal. of gas ...naaa, Teapublicons want their share of those profits and to hell with this country. Ask the pot head, he'll tell ya profits are all that matter.

Why should we drill in the Alaska and the Atlantic when that oil is sold on the market and its profits never benefit the U.S.?
Maybe with a law that says the oil is drilled, refined and sold only in the U.S. naaa.... rightwingers want the oil companies to get the most profits for our oil and to hell the this country. They'll refine it here and we get all the pollution but very little from the billions in profits.

You pinheads have a very short and selective memory......you live through something and only remember what is advantageous to your political agenda....and
conveniently forget what makes you look like the fuckin' idiots and morons you really are in reality....
and that certainly includes you, onecell.


I've seen it happen pretty often but I didn't save a list of each event.......though I remember it being especially appaerent in your lack factual history in the events leading up to the Iraq war......your memory is like a DNC, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi written screenplay rather than what and how and why things actually occurred....but
thats another debate and I won't rehash history with you again......
