that would be previous with a capital "P" administrations did nothing either.
So why truncate an issue down to the last administration to rail on about the past.
It is not a blame issue. I don't know why when there is a constructive opportunity to discuss an issue that will affect every living American, not just a partisan few, there has to be the constant need for some to have to attempt to drag the issue back down to the rudiments of partisan gutter politics....either side.

You are also off base as I have said to you in the past to make an assertion who it is I favor. I take particular exception to you and others of your line of thinking who continually assign an affiliation to your opposition, any opposition that is not in lock step with either your party or Obama.

The issue I raise here, because when it happens will by it's very nature not lend itself to the blame game assignment of today's politics. When the energy crisis happens it will dwarf any previous attacks on US soil. There will be some unifying effect since people will tend to want to survive together. There will be no use for the need to know what party one belongs to....or who is POTUS. The future potential prospects of the damage this issue, continued without being addressed will have on ALL American is not imaginable.

It would be a nice change of pace to hear an issue of such significance addressed rather than the usual party sing song or the political bantering.
That will not save future generations from the scourge they WILL be confronted with.

Politics and partisan preservation is what has caused this issue to NOT be addressed.
