Bush Fails to Lead

J.J. Jackson | June 19, 2008 

President Bush has been a disappointment on so many levels. This is just another one of those levels.

“The president believes Congress shouldn’t waste any more time,” White House press secretary Dana Perino told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “He will explicitly call on Congress to … pass legislation lifting the congressional ban on safe, environmentally friendly offshore oil drilling.”

Ok … just wait … there’s more to this so don’t start cheering just yet…

Keith Hennessey, the director of the president’s economic council, said that Bush will lift a parallel executive order banning offshore drilling if Congress does likewise with the law. Asked why Bush doesn’t act first and lift the ban, Hennessey said: “He thinks that probably the most productive way to work with this Congress is to try to do it tandem.”

Excuse me? President Bush is saying he’ll lift the executive order IF the dipshits on Congress get off their thumbs? What happened to the man that ran to the crumbled ruins of the World Trade Center and stood there with a bull horn?

This is not leadership! It is down right pathetic Mr. Bush!

Take the lead! Rescind the executive order and put Congress on the hot seat!

If you let those wackos in control of Congress do it first, this challenge by you will be forgotten and all people will remember is that the liberals in charge of Congress did something while you did nothing. Way to give them a potential victory!
