[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by edbenton</i> <br /><br />Right now there are 8 refineries off line and loss of power killed the pumps that pump the gas thru said pipelines. Right now W and *** are laughing all the way to the bank. Bush is only releasing 10 mil barrels from teh SPOR ones days pumping from the gulf. He stayed on vaction 2 days after Katrina hit and still hte only way he has seen the area besides TV is he had AirForce 1 fly over the area at 5000 ft on his way home from the ranch. About 2 months ago FX showed a program named Oil Strom and right now we are feeling the effects of that movie. We are not out of the woods yet by any means. People are now shooting at teh rescue choppers in order to get out of New Orleans. Bodies are being left to rot in the streets. We can invade 2 countries half way across the world BUT WE CAN NOT TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN NATION!! Kind of screwed up priorities .[soapbox][soapbox][banghead][banghead] Sorry about ranting but we knew that sooner or later this was going to happen. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Please present all the facts in your rant. The President (not W, let's show some respect, wheter you like him or not) was going to go in and do his address from there and was told as well as figured out that it would cause a un-needed use of security and draw the true attention away form the problem. You want to make it sound like he doesn't care, or he is part of the reason the hurricane hit. Also, he lifted or had the EPA lift the blended fuel restrictions. He is only the President, he's not a dictator that says jump and we all say how high. If he has the power you suggest, then we would have privitized Social Security already. Lay the blame where it belongs, greedy corporate america and the stock holders, guess what, that's you and me, we want more money, we want lower prices. Wow, the oil reserve is actually for our military, so let's give it out for folks to go on vacation, fill cars that use more fuel then they need, let people top off their tanks. It's all about me, me, me. What happened to the us in USA???
