I heard part, but I expect that it's all the same.

You got it wrong Sob.

We're from the government and we're here to help; bend over please, this won't hurt a bit...

Didn't see it, but saw that dependence on foreign oil will soon be over... right?

Here's a quick recap on foreign oil:

1973
President Nixon launches Project Independence, with the goal of achieving energy self-sufficiency by 1980. Recalling the Manhattan Project, Nixon declares that American science, technology, and industry can free the United States from dependence on foreign oil.


1975
President Ford urges Congress to cut individual and corporate taxes by $16 billion and to take steps to reduce the national dependence on foreign oil imports.

1979
President Carter announces, "The generation-long growth in our dependence on foreign oil will be stopped dead in its tracks right now and then reversed as we move through the 1980s..." "In addition, we needed to immediately begin to develop a long-range strategy to move beyond fossil fuel."

1987
President Reagan's Energy Security Report outlines the Nation's increasing dependence on foreign oil.

1990
President George HW Bush State of the Union address, "...the Congress should, this month, enact measures to increase domestic energy production and energy conservation in order to reduce dependence on foreign oil."

1994
President Clinton states, "...the nation's growing reliance on imports of crude oil and refined petroleum products threaten the nation's security because they increase U.S. vulnerability to oil supply interruptions."

2006
President Bush, according to AP reports, will say, "America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world. The best way to break this addiction is through technology."

I thought it was a good PR speech (I took a 5 minute nap about 30 minutes into it so I might have missed something).  Hey, I like the guy and agree with alot of his views anyway so no biggie.  Plus I voted for him twice and still feel good about that.  

Sidebar news was the great trivializer Sheehan.  Guess she was invited by some democrat congressperson and was on the house grounds but was arrested before the speech for refusing to cover up an anti war slogan on the shirt she was wearing.  Poor woman...I wonder if I will ever stop having pity for her.

Actually might have been about a 15 minute nap....

It was a decent escape from reality TV.
