I know many families are worried about rising prices at the pump and declining home values. So this week my Administration took steps to help address both these challenges.To help address the pressure on gasoline prices, my Administration took action to clear the way for environmentally responsible offshore exploration of key parts of the Outer Continental Shelf, or OCS.

This week, Members of Congress returned to Washington after their Fourth of July recess. While they were at home, they heard a clear message from their constituents: Americans are concerned about high gas prices. Everyone who commutes to work, grows food, books a plane ticket, or runs a small business feels the squeeze of rising energy prices. And Americans are increasingly frustrated with Congress's failure to take action.One of the factors driving up high gas prices is that many of our oil deposits here in the United States have been put off-limits for exploration and production. Past efforts to me...

President Bush Feloniously Defaces The Flag; The Weekly Standard Says Nothi
2008-06-21 21:45:00 Is Neocon Justice An Oxymoron? Remember a couple of years ago when President “Surge” W. Bush committed an obvious felony by defacing the American Flag just weeks after he signed the unconstitutional and equally felonious “Flag Burning Amendment” into law, yet the president remained, and still remains, free and on the loose? The liberals — the MINORITY party at the time, whined about it, pointed the crime out to the media while the president, protected by his Republican majority at the time, was never arrested for the felony he committed on live television. As far as I know, The Weekly Standard, the neoconservative “fave” when it comes to receiving daily marching orders and talking points for the neocons who lurk and slither amongst us, elected to totally ignore President Bush’s felony. To this day, not only is the president free and on the loose, he still owns guns and votes; all subsequent felonies when these acts pertain to a felo...

Obama Leads McCain After Clinton Endorsement
2008-06-10 08:51:00 Barack Obama made gains over John McCain according to the latest presidential polling. Rasmussen and Gallup polling data from June 6 through June 8 showed a sizable bump for Obama after officially clinching the Democratic nomination. Barack Obama became the presumptive Democratic nominee last Tuesday after picking up superdelegates endorsements and pledged delegates from South Dakota and Montana. Senator Clinton met with Democratic leaders on Wednesday and later announced her intentions to withdrawal from the race and endorse Obama. With the Democratic nomination locked up and Senator Clinton endorsing Obama, Obama had a week of publicity following this major victory. According a Rasmussen poll, Obama picked up 4 points and McCain lost 2 points from the previous week. The six point swing gives Obama a 50 percent to 44 percent lead. The previous Rasmussen poll showed a dead tie between Obama and McCain. Gallup polling data showed a slightly larger swing fo...

Windows XP hates President Bush! Have you seen this strange trick?
2008-06-05 14:21:00 Good morning fellow conspiracy nuts and lovers of all things strange... This interesting little tidbit is a Windows XP, 2000 or NT only trick. If you open up Notepad on your system and create a document that contains the phrase "Bush hid the facts" and save it with any filename. I chose Paranoia.txt.Now try and re-open the document. And you will see something that looks like the following.Is this a Snarky Microsoft political comment? Probably not seeming that "Bill fed the goats" or even "hhhh hhh hhh hhhhh" brings about the same garbage. If the file is saved as "Unicode" rather than the default "ANSI" then the text displays correctly.This does not happen on Vista, so maybe the Feds got to Redmond already... Or maybe it's a XP (GASP) Bug?We just don't know! Anyone out there really know why this combination of 4,3,3,5 does this?

McCain Attacks Obama at AIPAC
2008-06-03 10:14:00 On Monday, John McCain picked a bi-partisan conference for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee as his stage to attack his likely opponent, Barack Obama. McCain?s personal attack on a candidate by name was a first for the AIPAC conference and took many of the people there by surprise. The crowd sounded somewhat receptive to his words, cheering loudly at the comments on Iran which has threatened to destroy Israel. McCain tried to pin Obama as too soft on Iran and told the crowd that his position on the measure to declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist state, was the wrong one to have. ?We hear talk of a meeting with the Iranian leadership offered up as if it were some sudden inspiration, a bold new idea that somehow nobody has ever thought of before. Yet it?s hard to see what such a summit with President Ahmadinejad would actually gain, except an earful of anti-Semitic rants, and a worldwide audience for a man who denies one Holocaust and talks...

McMore of the Same Votes 100% with Bush in 2008
2008-05-28 06:27:00 When John McCain started preparing himself to run for president in 2008, he knew his votes in the senate would be very important. According to the Congressional Quarterly, when John McCain bothered to show up to vote in the senate, he voted with President Bush 100 percent of the time. CQ determines which pieces of legislation fit with the president?s goals and other literature to determine where the president would stand on the bill. John McCain was voted the most absent senator in 2008, but when he did bother to show up, he voted with the president 100 percent. Granted McCain was campaigning during 2008, but there were many other senators also campaigning for president. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joseph Biden, and Christopher Dodd were all serving in the senate while running for president but did not miss as many votes as McCain did. McCain lost his status as a ?maverick? Republican in the senate when he took his firm position along side President ...
