In his radio address yesterday, Bush did more of the “blaming Democrats” for the high oil prices, through their rejection of lifting the offshore drilling ban: First, we should expand American oil production by increasing access to the Outer Continental Shelf, or OCS. Experts believe that the OCS could produce enough oil to match America’s […]
In their defense, if you don’t have oversight then you can’t say you did any wrong: On Friday, the White House issued a new executive order effectively gutting the Intelligence Oversight Board (IOB), “created in 1976 in the wake of widespread abuses by U.S. intelligence agencies.” Under the order, many of the IOB’s investigative powers […]
That’s what he said last night. Unfortunately for him it’s his own party that is balking at the idea: Even as Bush called on Congress to cut earmarks in half and announced an executive order cracking down on the projects, Republicans in Congress were sending out a mixed message about what their party really stands […]
According to former Reagan official Paul Craig Roberts, that is exactly where this country is at now. Unless Congress immediately impeaches Bush and Cheney, a year from now the US could be a dictatorial police state at war with Iran. Bush has put in place all the necessary measures for dictatorship in the form of […]
If there weren’t grounds for impeachment of Dick Cheney, there certainly are now: The Oversight Committee has learned that over the objections of the National Archives, Vice President Cheney exempted his office from the presidential order that establishes government-wide procedures for safeguarding classified national security information. The Vice President asserts that his office is not […]
This one from right here in the Buckeye state: A 22-year-old intern was given the responsibility of safeguarding the personal information of thousands of state employees, a security procedure that ended up backfiring. The names and Social Security numbers of all 64,000 Ohio state employees were stolen last weekend from a state agency intern who […]
When those miners died in West Virginia last year, a lot of the aim was at the White House and their lax enforcement of safety regulations. Just this past year, Bush issue an executive order putting a “political officer” at each enforcement agency, such as OSHA and the EPA. This officer will make sure the […]
More destruction of America, thanks to George Bush: President Bush has signed a directive that gives the White House much greater control over the rules and policy statements that the government develops to protect public health, safety, the environment, civil rights and privacy. In an executive order published last week in the Federal Register, Mr. […]
We have had a Democratic Governor for all of 9 days now and already he has done more progress than Taft ever did: Gov. Ted Strickland signed his second executive order today, creating an energy adviser to coordinate the state’s efforts to create jobs through fuel-saving initiatives. “One of the core principles of my Turnaround […]
Last night I posted about “Bush the Environmentalist” who is boasting a claim that he has created the world’s largest wildlife sanctuary. I also showed where this actual sanctuary was originally created by Clinton in 2000. Now I have come across (with the help of a friend at political-nutshell) more articles that shows how concerned […]
