A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
Democratics and biased Americans across the nation blamed President Bush with smears left and right as gas prices rose. In 2006, Democratic Oregon Senator Ron Wyden spouted that the “administration tragically bungled its way to $3-per-gallon gasoline.” As the price kept rising, so did the chorus of partisan attacks placing the blame squarely on Bush’s shoulders and his “failed energy policy” as Pelosi and Reid bellowed from the steps of the Capitol. I’ve been waiting patiently as I watched the price of gas here in Alabama drop well below $2 per gallon. On the way home from Nashville this weekend, there was even a station off I-65 that advertised $1.69 per gallon. Yesterday, I paid $1.89 here in Huntsville to fill up my van for $30!!
So, since the idiots running Congress, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, won’t place the same blame on the shoulder of President Bush, I will:
Thank you, President Bush, for lowering my gas prices! If he has to take the blame for $5 per gallon gas, he should take the credit for <$2 gas as well!

Thank you for making this point. People are so quick to blame Bush for all of the nation’s problems but they conveniently ignore the positive. I guess we can blame it on an extremely biased liberal-loving media.

Thank You CJ for making this point. I too have wondered where the people are who are so quick to judge President Bush for everything under the sun when things are going wrong but are mysteriously quite when they are going right.
I want to thank President Bush as well for the gas prices coming down! Who knew that our president would be so influential on gas prices.

I too add my thanks!! I agree that there was a whole lot of noise about all the things that were done wrong by Bush but nothing about what has been done right. He was blamed soundly for not being up to speed for 9/11, but I hear nothing about how we have been 8 years with out another attack. He has been attacked viciously about the war on terror, and Iraq, but I have heard nothing of the fact that the Iraqis and the Afghanis are free people now and they are starting a whole new life, with out fear and hundreds of terrorists are now dead. We heard very loudly how HE was responsible for not doing anything quick enough after Katrina, which incidentally was the fault of the Governor who didn’t ask for the help as required. But I have heard nothing about how the people of Texas have been helped after Ike and that was the third biggest storm recorded in the US. There will always be a learning curve with things that crop up. Smart people learn from their mistakes. Fools repeat them. Since we haven’t been attacked, the right help got to the right people at the right time, two countries have been liberated and terrorists eliminated and the gas prices are coming down, hmmmm.

You are joking, right? Please tell us you are joking, or that you mistook today for April 1st! Please tell us something beside you actually believe what you just wrote about Afghanis being free and living without fear!
Good gosh, sue, not even Rush Limbaugh would state the load of crap you just hoisted upon ASP readers!

ps. That should have read “foisted” and hot “hoisted”; there is a big difference between the two.

I totally second CJ’s post!

Two items I don’t blame/credit the president for:
Gas Prices
Stock Market
He can’t do much about either, when all is said and done.
I truly wish we had a more focused energy polciy that not only includes active drilling, but more active use of alternatives. For that, I not only blame the president, but both sides of Congress for.
