It does seem that, at a minimum, GWB could cut short his China vacation. Maybe if he gave up women volleyball players for the Oval Office, our government wouldn’t be flailing for direction.

I agree. It doesn't help that most of congress is vacationing (thanks Nancy...)

Being energy dependent is about more than paying high dollar at the pump.

What is the cost of the Democrat "No Domestic Energy Policy?"

• No domestic drilling.
• No new refineries.
• No new nuke plants.
• No new dams for hydro-electric.
• No coal.
• No shale.
• Deplete the SPR.
• Let Iran get nukes.
• Let Iraq fall to Iranian domination.
• No Canadian tar sands oil.

All of that puts the U.S. in a position that war for oil or
complete economic collapse will be our only choices.
You can't frustrate every source of domestic energy
without consequences. Our enemies will blackmail us
to the extent that we are vulnerable to blackmail.

The Democrats are leading us into a real war for oil.
A war we won't have the energy to fight.
