ABC News: President Bush Forgets About Global Warming

Here’s the ABC take on things:
ABC News: President Bush Forgets About Global Warming.
Bush Raised Eyebrows With His Reference to Oil Addition, but He Failed to Break New Ground.
They then hunted out someone to criticize Bush for not mentioning global warming when he said he wanted to curtail use of fossil fuels which are the primary cause of global warming.
Someone needs to inform ABC that Bush wants to end our ADDICTION to oil. That’s what the global warmists have been demanding. Just because he didn’t mention global warming per se does not mean they aren’t getting what they need. And, being as no global warming activist is ever happy, it wouldn’t have made a hill of beans difference if Bush had mentioned it. Why ABC chose that mis-spelled headline to then praise and quote Gary Yohe in his entirity just tells me how important ABC considers the President of the United States.

Speaking of “raised” eyebrows, did you see how Gov. Kaine’s left eyebrow rose two inches every time he emphasized anything. I thought I was watching a trained snake.

I didn’t see it originally, but Expose The Left has the video on their site. I have that linked on the previous post. It’s worth a watch. It’s kinda creepy if you leave the volume turned off.
I know governors have PR people and speechwriters. I wonder if he’s ever had that happen before, and if it has, whether his speechwriter told him to chill the eyebrow motion? I also have known some speechwriters in the past, things like that just kill them. A perfectly good speech can be totally ruined by involuntary body movements ( think Nixon sweating ).

Did you see the look of surprise on President Bush’s face when Hillary et al broke out in a whoop and applause after Bush said a bill had not made it through Congress? I find myself in the middle of the road more and more.

To me that event summed up the entire Bush presidency. The Democrats are proud of their obstructionism, and Bush is surprised.
And yeah, I went lurching to the middle of the road a long time ago ( when Bill started pandering to the extremities ). I know I seem strongly partisan here, but I’m not. The problem is that one party does have some semblence of moderate politics while the other just seems to keep getting more and more radical. I see this as a very bad thing and want some semblence of balance. Sure the Republicans lurched to the right about 10 years ago, but I really don’t see the party as a whole pandering to the extremities quite the way the Democrats are at this point. I think the calculated error of the Democrats is assuming they are the balance to the neo-conservatives, and quite frankly, the neo-cons are not the influence the Democrats are responding to ( see Alito’s FIRST decision, definitely no neo-con there. ) This miscalculated response to the fringe right wing is what’s killing the Democrats right now. They need moderates in control right now, not the Deans, Kennedys, Pelosis, and Kerrys.
