50% of the country has an IQ less than or equal to 100. 32% brings you even lower. It isn't surprising at all that approval rates bottom out at about the same level that the ability to for a coherent sentence does. Especially considering that Bush himself couldn't pass an English test for a 9th grader.
Thank god for the Dem congress its SAVED US ALL. ITS DONE SOOOOO MUCH w00t w00t. It stopped bush terrible rule!!!!! oh wait---it did nothing except give me a pelosi to laugh at-- well good enough for me!
@DRINKxREDxBULLAre you just playing dumb for the sake of arguing? If we would see peak production that contributed a SIGNIFICANT percentage to satisfying the oil consumption, then you might have an argument. But even the most optimistic figures are predicting single digit percentages.You claim that "sweetheart pricing" would be so easy to come by, but I have yet to hear the oil companies or any of their right-wing shills in Congress propose anything like that. They don't want that. They want to take oil that is owned by U.S. taxpayers and sell it on the world market to the highest bidder. Your claim about the ease with which such provisions could be created, and approved, is completely without supporting evidence.The reason that they would invest billions to drill there is because they would make a profit. And the higher the price of oil, the more profit that they would make. You act like oil companies are only willing to drill a well if the reserves into which they would tap would be huge. Not true. If that was the case, we'd have a handful of oil fields supplying all of the needs of the country. There are about 300 million people in the U.S. If the oil in Alaska could provide even 1% of the oil needs of our country, what would that work out to in dollars?
Anyone who looks at this chart at just face value is ignorant. Although the information may be true, it is clear that all information presented was in the political view of the one who gathered it. It is irresponsible for someone to read this and this this sums up the presidency of one man. Regardless of your political views it is your responsibility to research something further than just a chart like this.
@ regeya :I make 23K a year and am getting some of those tax breaks for the rich....so you consider me rich then? What about the middle class person making 40-50k a year are they rich beyond your wildest dreams?
Sorry for being unclear, you people made good points. I believe that, assuming they have properly compensated the taxpayers for their use of public land, *then* is is their oil and they can do with it what they please.

With Bush the glass is either half-empty or empty.Or the glass is filled halfway, with water that had to be borrowed from another glass!

They are real countries. And real people live there. AKA human beings.

Yes. The dimwits that vote for a corrupt candidate deserve their share of blame. Ignorance is no excuse.

I could not agree more. Everybody that voted for this traitor screwed us all over.
