I see your point, but would counter with the lack of a viable American Energy Plan is a security crisis. As the ME continues to move towards nuclear armament, China and India continue towards their industrial revolution, and oil being controlled by dictatorial and hostile governments to the United States this is a National Security issue.

*IF, we are going to truly defend Israel as her ally, we need to be able to supply our own domestic energy.

*IF, Iran does drop a nuke or worse nukes and Israel responds in kind, we MUST be ready domestically to deal with the energy crisis this will create.

Allies of islam have already aligned for these two scenarios and probably others which will reach to Nigeria and other oil supplying nations.

America without energy is a paper tiger. We will sacrifice, struggle etc. and then what? Democrats will tell us to “inflate our tires?”

No, these traitors to our National Security must be stopped. $4.00 gasoline is the tool to get the American people to act. There is a much more sinister picture than just gasoline. It is heating oil, it is natural gas, it is industry, economy, plastics, products, production, interstate transportation, and food.

I feel our country is in imminent danger both at home and overseas.

No bones to pick there

My only concern is a future POTUS (like Obama) using, as a precedent this event, if Bush actually does call them back, to harass the Congress to do his bidding in the future since this isn't done according to the letter of the law.

Absolutely, and if we are going to be paying $4 for gasoline, I'd much rather it was being paid for AMERICAN oil.
