Administration 'Gased' Out?

What Bush clearly understands is that prices rise when demand increases faster than supply, and that supply is being limited in the United States by government...., Bush On Gas Prices: Is He Kidding? James Glassman, TCSDaily.com

So does anyone else who can reason from evidence instead of from hysteria. But as Glassman points out, the President, as leader of a party that came to power claiming it had that gift to offer Americans, has spent a substantial part of his second term acting like the worst kind of Democrat, substituting sloppy thinking, appeasement of Green hysteria, and unimaginative speculation for a hard plan. The claim on the President's domestic flubs, such as the prescription benefit, that he's been driven to ghastly, overpriced, and often unsupportable policy by the Democrats and the permanent government of bureaucrats, seems unsupportable in and of itself. Where is the striking leadership he's exhibited in conducting the war on radical Islam, where he's been confronted by more baldfaced lies, both about the policy and about himself, than any President since Lincoln? Fact is that energy supply is as important a pillar of our national defense as army, navy, airforce and marine operations are. Traditional suppliers, such as Venezuela, Iran, Mexico and Saudi Arabia, have increasingly exercised political control over markets. Democrats, locally and nationally, have exercised political control over energy development, blocking refineries, exploration, and exploitation of national resources throughout the war on terror and long before. Yet what has he done but echo his worst critics? The situation calls for a declaration of national emergency, not meandering chats about the hydrogen-powered car and temporary suspension of rules and regulations that make even less sense now than when they were put in place.
