I'm just asking...
OK, Bush is the President. That means he'll get credit for everything that goes well on his watch, and blamed for everything that goes bad. It's unfair, but it's unfair to everyone, since any President would get the same treatment. So has it been, so shall it ever be, que sera sera, etc.
Currently, gas prices are high. John Kerry is blaming George Bush. Fair point, or at least, fair within the context of political debate.
Here's the question. As a good environmentalist, doesn't Kerry want gas prices to be high? Wouldn't $2 a gallon and up gas encourage us to carpool, walk or bike more, purchase more energy efficient vehicles, and move forwards on alternative transportation? I mean, President Kerry isn't going to make it easier and more affordable for us all to drive everywhere in our pollution-belching SUV's, is he?
I mean, traffic in Atlanta is bad enough as it is.
