Not only did they do little, they took us backwards by making it nearly impossible to build alternative energy. These plans and programs were put into place well before Bush was president.

Do you understand that Business owners write off their vehicles, be them trucks, SUV's, Porsches, or hybrids? Even the photo you posted included a note that referenced it. "Includes bonus tax write-off enacted by CONGRESS and a deduction for normal depreciation." You buy a more expensive car, (regardless as to what type of vehicle it is) the higher the depreciation. The image below would have worked just as well with a Lamborghini or Rolls Royce on the right..

Face it folks, W is going to be known as one of the worse presidents in history. Dems, Reps, Inds, ALL can agree on that one, if you can't admit that & actually think he was a great president, you're fooling yourself.

What I understand very clearly is that you'll apologize for Bush and his agenda under any and all circumstances.

Add this to your facts: Bush has been in a position to influence America's energy position for the past eight years. And he has; by encouraging greater consumption.

Of course, you'll give him a pass.

facts...big deal, bottom line is, dude, he can put American lives in Iraq, but when it comes to seriously helping this country back on their feet, he tells them its their own fault they are where they are....you want facts, tough, way I see it... its people like you who support his communist plots to keep this country at its knees so we can rebuild "democracies" in places that will never be anything but enemies to us... then let them in here to thrive and prosper WHEN and IF its ever over, so the rest of the country can continue to ROT IN POVERTY because they didnt read the loan good????....whatever... SCREW IT...its people like you that breed some silly little newspaper facts for what YOU consider the FACTS...

THE FACTS ARE: he dont give a cussers butt if the American people got a home, but the Iraq situation is a serious issue to him....NOT...

you can dredge up all the articles you wont, theres few people in this country hes helped back on their feet and back in to their homes, many of them veterans, senior citizens, and yet you claim you want facts??????....take a ride, go for a walk, buy some gas, talk to the average homeless person who drifts from interstate to interstate with his little cardboard sign hes made, while he sleeps under an underpass with his nightmares of Vietnam....no place to go... you find the facts, and when you do....LIVE THEM....

Sure.. I gve him a pass because no one has yet to come up with a valid explination as to what BUSH did, to cause the price of oil to increase, not only here in the USA, but elsewhere.

Sure.. while you are totally ignorant of the fact that Democrats were elected two years ago under the promise that they will cut oil prices, the cost has continued to go up 60% since they were elected.

I hold people accountable to their promises, and understand that the promise they made 2 years ago could not be fufilled because the government can not, and do not regulate or dictate the price of oil. Only when liberals understand this, we can start to look at real solutions to our energy problems because the energy consumption problem isnt government related, but the answer is because of regulations put upon those in a position to help.
