Bush Targets Congressional Democrats Over Delays on Housing, Energy,
Iraq Initiatives
Wednesday, May 07, 2008

President Bush on Wednesday criticized Democrats in Congress for their
approach to dealing with the nation's housing crisis and soaring
energy prices and called anew for an extension of expiring tax cuts
and government wiretapping authority.

It's always tax-cuts for his rich buddies, isn't it?

'There's a hurricane comin mr president!'
- 'Call for more tax-cuts!'

'There's a plane crashed into a building, mr president!'
- 'Not now! I'm still readin 'My Pet Tax Cutting Goat!'

Bush met at the White House with Republican leaders of Congress and
then gave a critique of the Democrats' strategy for dealing with major
problems.

Bush pledged to veto a broad housing rescue package moving through the
House. The White House contends it is a burdensome bailout that would
open taxpayers to too much risk, even though the bill includes some
elements the administration supports.

He pushed for an alternative bill backed by Republicans.

Probably one that kicks another 200 or 300 billion to his corporate
banking buds..

On gas prices, Bush again asserted that he understands the pinch on
typical families. He pushed for steps that critics say would offer
little help anytime in the short term, such as encouraging
construction of oil refineries and allowing more oil drilling in areas
where it is now precluded.

"No doubt about it, we're deeply concerned about the high price of
gasoline," Bush said along side House Republican leaders.

Yeah.. well... he's so concerned that he hasn't done squat about it
for 8 years..
That's some kind of concerned.

He said if Congress was worried about the impact that soaring gas
prices were having on citizens, it would urge the construction of new
domestic refineries and allow for environmentally friendly energy
exploration in the United States.

What "environmentally friendly energy exploration"?
Calling his oil broker buds to see how high gas proces cin be jacked
up?

Bush has long called for opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
in Alaska to oil development, and has chastised Congress for
repeatedly blocking the proposal, which is strongly opposed by
environmentalists, most Democrats and a few moderate Republicans.

Ten years downstream doesn't do anything for gas customers today.

Energy experts believe ANWR's likely 11 billion barrels of oil —
pumped at just under 1 million barrels a day — would send a signal of
increased U.S. interest in domestic energy production. However, in the
long run, it likely would not significantly impact oil or gasoline
prices. And it likely would have little impact on today's prices.

There ya go... even Fox says it's stupid.

Oil futures blasted to a new record near $123 a barrel Tuesday,
gaining momentum as investors bought on a forecast of much higher
prices and on any news hinting at supply shortages. Retail gas prices
edged lower, but appear poised to rise to new records of their own in
coming weeks.

It's all price speculation by local and international neocon oil
brokers.

The president also pushed again for priority legislation that has been
stalled on Capitol Hill for weeks — a potential free-trade deal with
Colombia, and a government eavesdropping bill designed to target
communications of suspected terrorists.

Ah yeah... 'free trade' to send even more US jobs to his Colon
buddies..
Mustn't forget that bit of american economy destroying crap either..
'New World Order' uber alles, ya know..

Bush also called on Congress to approve a $108 billion war-spending
bill for Iraq and Afghanistan "without any strings."

Hell yeah... One Trillion down the mideast rathole.. what's a few
hundred billion more?

Democrats want to
enlarge the bill with an extension of unemployment insurance benefits.
A measure proposed by House Democrats would prohibit using U.S. aid to
rebuild towns or equip security forces in Iraq unless Baghdad matches
every dollar spent.

Those silly dumbocrats.. always trying to make sense out of
institutionalized insanity.
Nancy will probably tell them to vote for insanity in the end...
anyway.
