The Real Beginning

Thomas Friedman, best known as the author of the international best selling book The World Is Flat, wrote an interesting column in the New York Times today on President Bush’s energy policy.

Two years ago, President Bush declared that America was “addicted to oil,” and, by gosh, he was going to do something about it. Well, now he has. Now we have the new Bush energy plan: “Get more addicted to oil.”

I have heard that the oil prices can’t solely be blamed on President Bush, as many people may like to think. Supply and demand does have a big influence on its price, which is difficult for our President to control. However this article shows more insight on the devastating lack of leadership from our President.
