I really don't get it... why the hell do we bother to protect anything if we are going to change our minds every time the price of oil goes up. Offshore oil drilling, drilling in the ecologically sensitive arctic... there is more to this world than the price of gasoline... can we please start putting resources into developing alternatives to oil (and using food sources to produce ethanol fuel is just plain stupid... beyond stupid... ), start driving slower... or how about going back to the idea of community – live, work, play within a smaller range... stop the sprawl... the solution is not more oil, but less, cleaner energy sources, and lifestyle changes. The biggest impedence to energy independence is the unwillingness of the "leaders" to lead through the tough choices that must be made. So, start leading... or stand aside.

Bush is full of hot air. Still Bush removed Saddam Hussein from power. Bill Clinton removed Slobodan Milošević from power and NATO bombed Kosovo. Then there was Bill Clinton and the war in Somalia. Lets not forget the Waco Siege.

and the wind is about to get knocked out of it for him

Some of the best criminals make good comedians....................some, not so much!

If they placed that wind turbine where his microphone is, we could clear the deficit tomorrow morning!!

..., and in Crawford it's over 100.

...so, you're full of more hot air than anyone else?

It's only natural when you're out there bushwacking scrub brush!

He should know!

He is soooooooooooooooooooo right.

We need to drill and drill NOW.

As always Democrats can’t hear the people.

arrest him!!!!! deport him!!!! just get him out of our hair. i cant even blame Bush, it was the STUPID people who voted for him. how on earth do you have a vice/President who have to leave the country once their term is over. GW, Dick you two are the worst of us. i am disgusted by the crimes you ave committed, you have dishonored the Office and our Nation. if Obama, as President does not charge you for your crimes, i prey you find a different country to live out your lives in! YOU KILLED 4,100 US SOLDIERS FOR EXXON MOBIL...

What's scary is that this guy think he has done a good job. The more you help McCain, the more people will know he will be a failure as well, just like Bush was and is and will continue to be.

The U.S needs a real leader.
not this cowboy puppet the Saudis sponsors.

Ok lets shift the blame! By the way can he spell HOT AIR! Lolol
Bush I voted for you twice,, and the joke was on me.. you got me

Talk about hot air...well this dude should know it when he sees it...except his doesn't come from his mouth

Yea, most of its in him.

THAT I WILL AGREE WITH BUSH.

No way Bush. You wont get your way this time. If there is any action take as far as offshore drilling, it should be done when he is out of office and can have as little influence as possible. I do not trust this man.

Mr. Kettle, there's a Mr. Black Pot on line 2 with a message for you.

Georgy-boy: Please talk about the 90 million plus acres that you/oil companies have had for so many years that are not being explored, tapped, investigated, researched, probed, scheduled to be and of the preceding..... and ironically enough not mentioned by you when touting your 'explore for oil' fiction.

Is it an election year?

Use what you already have, or give back what you have, before taking on more to do nothing with for 8 more years.

YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE, KNOW THAT TOO WELL.

From the mouth of the biggest gas bag there is! He should recognize his own kind!

"The president then turned serious and once again called on Congress to increase U.S. energy supplies by allowing offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf and in part of the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve."

Okay, first things first: joking isn't going to help the situation. I'm appalled that you're still making so much light of serious issues.

Secondly, "Dumbya", would it KILL you to listen to the people for once in your administrative life?!

I told you he's a funny man...see?

Here we go again Big money oil useing the extreme right to push there evil Un American agenda. These extreme right wing nuts that have taken over the republican party care for nothing but themselves and there own money they could care less about the American people!

Hahahaha! Now he develops a sense of humor! That's the truest thing he ever said and if it could be done it would solve all of our energy problems.

Most of the hot air comes from McCain !

Makes as much sense as the rest of your policies and plans....you moron.

Oh the irony! And the unmitigated gall!

Congress to increase U.S. energy supplies by allowing offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf and in part of the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve.? When will see some results !!!

D.C. is full of hot air and corruption and our esteemed President is full of the dark brown stuff. The only people that are more stupid than GW are the millions who voted for him..twice..for the wrong reasons. Unfortunately, we all have to pay for it.

Lots of hot air?,....let me see the producers

BUSH
CHENEY
ROVE
McWAR
and all the Reflipicans around the oval office.

What a jerk!

Does he take any of this seriously?
