bush continues to blame the Dems for his f'k-ups

Bush, Democrats bicker over soaring energy prices

WASHINGTON - President Bush on Saturday tried to pin the blame on Congress for soaring energy prices and said lawmakers need to lift long-standing restrictions on drilling for oil in pristine lands and offshore tracts believed to hold huge reserves of fuel.

Democrats say they are for drilling, but argue that oil companies aren't going after the oil where they already have leases. So why open new, protected areas? they ask. Democrats say there are 68 million acres of federal land and waters where oil and gas companies hold leases, but aren't producing oil.
---
So, the Dems are to blame for bush's failed policies, and the fact that drilling anywhere new won't mean any new oil for, what, 5-10 years?, but the fact that the Dems don't want to destroy the environment means that they - not bush & company - are screwing the American public?!

Wow!

But, bush won't release any of the reserves that this country has - apparently so his oil buddies can continue to reap the high mark-up - and he won't ask his oil friends to drill in the areas that have already been approved?

What a bunch of f'king lying, assholes in this administration...
