President George W. Bush "came forward with—what do you call?—the edict that we were going to mandate 36 billion gallons of alternative fuels" by 2022, of which corn-based ethanol is "a substantial part."

Thanks for nothing, you worthless RINO.

No kidding? Throw in corrupt free trade laws and off shoring tens of thousands of companies and businesses to Communist countries

Throw in the endless conga-line of tens of millions of illegals collecting welfare and choking off our health-care and our entire system

Throw in government working in concert with Wall Street and the banksters, as they demanded we bail them out for multiple trillions!

The dollar was made worthless due to 20 years of destructive, corrupt government policies!

The percentage of each past president’s cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is…a real-life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt..........38%
Taft......................40%
Wilson .................52%
Harding.................49%
Coolidge.............. 48%
Hoover .................42%
F. Roosevelt.........50%
Truman.................50%
Eisenhower...........57%
Kennedy...............30%
Johnson................47%
Nixon....................53%
Ford......................42%
Carter....................32%
Reagan..................56%
GH Bush............... 51%
Clinton .................39%
GW Bush................55%

And the winner is:

Obama............... 8%

This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

That’s right! Only eight percent-—the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what’s best for GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and you and me?

How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he’s never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it’s the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They’ve spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as “community organizers.” They should have been in an employment line.

Pass this on we’ll NEVER see these facts in the main stream media.

of which corn-based ethanol is "a substantial part."

Of course this quote is attributed to no one.

Ethanol's been pushed since the 1970s. First ethanol laws passed in 1978. I'm sure many of the ethanol whiners here today were rah-rah'ing it years ago in their personal quest to "stick it to the Arabs". Bush continued what Ford, Carter, Reagan and Clinton did before him. To blame him alone is pretty freaking stupid.

It's only become chic to hop off the ethanol bandwagon these past few years. Let's see what happens going forward.

Bush’s fault, huh?

So, I expect we’ll see Obama reverse that order when he gets elected in ‘08. No? Gee, I wonder why?

Well... no... actually I don’t.

The wife just came home from Costco and reported that the 3 lb bag of coffee that we usually get just went from $13.99 to $18.99.

“Companies that blend ethanol into fuel get a $5 billion annual tax credit”

Wait a second. Isn’t that about the same that Big Oil gets to explore and drill. So if we’re going to kill-off Big Oil’s bucks, why shouldn’t we kill off Big-Ethanol’s bucks?

Answer...Boener.

Actually, when it comes to corn and all products derived from it, including real sugar substitutes, IMO it's worth it to quit eating the stuff, not just decry the ethanol lobby. The problem comes in that corn is also in animal feed, so that drives up costs even further.

It's all one gigantic cluster.
