Why doesn't President Bush act first and lift the ban on off-shore drilling? There are two prohibitions on offshore drilling, one imposed by Congress and another by executive order signed by Bush's father in 1990. The president took the position that Congress has to act first and then he would follow behind. Keep in mind, Bush's brother, Jeb, fiercely opposed offshore drilling when he was governor of Florida.
Keith Hennessey, the director of the president's economic council, said: "He thinks that probably the most productive way to work with this Congress is to try to do it in tandem."
You know this is bullshit. Here's what is means: Bush Translated - "I know it won't work, so I'll keep blaming it on Congress."
