He tripled the national debt to learn for what Jimmy Carter told the US in the 1970s, and which has been jeered at by the right ever since. Sinergy

Every President and Congress for the past 30 years has failed on this issue, both parties share blame. When Democrats have held the White House or Congress...they have also failed to act.

I just think it is funny after all the trashing of Jimmy Carter by the right, that something like this is true because Bush said it. In two years they will be trying to convince the rest of us that his statement about getting off of foreign oil was based on flawed intel. I did not vote to put George "Flawed Intel" W. Bush and Dick "Shotgun" Cheney in the White House. Sinergy

No, this is Bullshit. If Bush's energy plan that was proposed in 01 had been implemented we would be well on our way to getting off imported oil. Bush is not a dictator, and the Dems have been able to filibuster him the entire time. The original plan called for tapping the gas fields around the great lakes to fuel the North East, which is the only region that uses lots of Oil for home heating, cutting a lot of oil usage off. As well as more oil from Alaska, California, and the Gulf of Mexico. We could easyily be importing 35-40% less now than we are. The left stopped this dead. Don't blame Bush. Talk to Senator Reid.

I'm looking at this from a historical perspective, not being alive at the time, but isn't it true that former President Carter attempted to address several issues ... issues that are haunting us today? Again, looking at it from a historical perspective, and I will admit that most of what you read about him is very critical, but it also seems as if he took over a nation lacking trust and confidence after Vietnam and Watergate ... a nation also in the middle of a recession. Weren't those things in place, when he took office? It would be nice to hear a discussion about former President Carter, from people that lived through his term in office. It would be a bit of a hijack ... but then again, how much value can really be placed on President Bush now telling us we need to get off oil? [;)]

Perhaps he meant to say, "get off foreign soil"?

Ok mr Bush- stop the fed from suing California over stricter fuel economy standards!

You're talking about Germany and Japan, right? quote: ORIGINAL: RealityLicks Perhaps he meant to say, "get off foreign soil"?

When Bush tries to get natural gas and oil from our own soil, the nutty enviromentalists supported by the Democrats block him at every turn. Remember Anwar? We havn't built a new refinery in this Country in over 30 years. President Bush isn't responsible for what has happened to our non existent energy policy. He needs the support of Congress. Where was Clinton?????

pahunkboy -> RE: Bush: US must get off foreign oil (3/6/2008 5:50:05 AM)
clinton was under impeachement- so 365 years- we was robbed of our public servant. --oil and auto industry wont allow energy effiecncy- who killed the electric car.

servantforuse -> RE: Bush: US must get off foreign oil (3/6/2008 6:13:40 AM)
Maybe Clinton should have been working on an energy policy of his own instead of getting Bj's in the Oval office. That way he wouldn't have been in court so much..

Sanity -> RE: Bush: US must get off foreign oil (3/6/2008 6:43:51 AM)
Ah, yes - the magical electric car. You never have to build more coal or nuclear power plants because you don't have to plug those cars in, you never have to get environmentalists to approve more lead mines and lead smelters because their batteries are magical... heck, they practically run on Elf farts and Pixie dust. quote: ORIGINAL: pahunkboy clinton was under impeachement- so 365 years- we was robbed of our public servant. --oil and auto industry wont allow energy effiecncy- who killed the electric car.

MissSCD -> RE: Bush: US must get off foreign oil (3/6/2008 7:00:39 AM)
That is what he said while he was campaigning eight years ago. I recall a speach of his that that something to the effect of "I know about oil". Does he ever! He wants to control his oil. I so cannot wait for a change, but if McCain gets elected, we are done. We are probably done either way, but if we change, we will have a chance to recover this. *Regards, MissSCD*
