Republicans Blame Others

George W. is trying to stay relevant again.
This time he's blaming Congress for his inaction and "for blocking his initiatives to mitigate rising energy costs..." Although he places blame, Georgie never really mentions what his initiatives were. Just that the mean old Congress is in his way.

Bush said he would ``take a look'' at any proposals that may come from Congress. He said Congress would open more domestic land to oil exploration if it was ``truly interested'' in solving the problem of high gas prices.

What he really means is he would take a look at any proposal he would have written himself.
When it came to a plan to halt purchasing of oil for the US Reserve, Bush said no. Even when fellow Republicans recommended it. Yes, even other Republicans have ideas of things to DO.
If anyone's confused about W's continued inaction plan, the AP put together this nice little Fact vs. Fiction sheet.
