I think it's unfair to blame President Bush here, ... What I would blame is the bureaucratic red tape throughout the system that is out of control with little credibility and way too turf-conscience. Rather than point fingers in blame, the state and the federal governments need to develop a new emergency system.
I'm not going to blame the president, ... Our system is so bureaucratic that it's difficult to get things done.
I support the offshore oil and gas leasing moratoriums that the Bush Administration has continued off coastal states including California and Florida. Now I want to ask the coastal states, the Bush Administration, and Congress to support leasing moratoriums for some ecologically sensitive onshore areas, as well.
I support the decision of the Justice Department that leads us to hopefully recover whatever happened to those tapes.
We do think prices will go up a little bit, but in the end we do think gasoline prices will stabilize,
We believe this is a good agreement, ... we see the British initiative as a good way to enforce the agreement.

recent developments ... including violence directed at law enforcement, damage to property and livestock, increased evidence of drug smuggling and an increase in the number of undocumented immigrants.
It could spark the production of supercomputers that fit into the palm of your hand or tiny devices to fight disease and repair injuries from inside our bodies,
I strongly believe that we made progress in our discussions in North Korea on the diplomatic front, on the nuclear front, on the humanitarian front,
It is clear the world needs more oil, ... Saudi Arabia has shown a lot of leadership in the need for more production, and hopefully the rest of OPEC will follow suit.
