Don't blame Bush for gas prices
Letter to the Editor
Tuesday, September 16, 2008

This will be a short reminder from one who does remember. I wonder how many citizens can recall?

President Bush has been our national leader now for almost eight years. Early in his first term, he introduced a proposal through Congress to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve in Alaska.

Almost every Democrat in the House, and even enough of the president's own party, refused to authorize the measure. His motion was denied.

Look at us now! Had we started drilling then, we could presently be completely independent of foreign oil.

And yet, there are still thousands, maybe even millions, who totally blame the president, for our present-day gasoline problem.

Douglas Neal Sr., Augusta
