[QUOTE="Txwalt, post: 559223, member: 5970"] Bush was trying a Clinton tactic by not lifting the ban right away. He originally said he would lift the ban if congress passed a bill first. Congress didn't pass the bill and everyone asked why Bush didn't lift the executive ban. Bush wanted to wait and see if congress would lift the ban first. If congress didn't lift the ban and Obama won the election. Obama would have to lift the ban (and take flake from all the enviromentalist) or take flake from the rest of the country for not lifting it. It was all politics. Why now? Why now? Would you rather wait till gas is $10 a gallon? The whole world is scrambling to pump as much oil as they can. This is the only country that won't do it. Why do you think congress doesn't want to drill right now? Its all about who is going to get the credit. The democrats have fought Bush tooth and nail his whole presidency. Dems have been screaming. "We are losing the war". "Our troops are not equiped properly". "We don't have enough troops there". "We have too many troops there". "Troops are their too long". "We need to pull the troops out". They make me sick! Walt [/QUOTE]
