This is an article about ethanol from the Bush administration...spring 2008

"President Bush said the United States should "get off oil" Wednesday as crude prices hit record highs and renewed his support for ethanol use despite concerns the corn-based fuel is driving up food prices and isn't more environmentally friendly than gasoline."

This is from this administration....spring 2009

"The Obama Administration is pushing a big expansion in ethanol, including a mandate to increase the share of the corn-based fuel required in gasoline to 15% from 10%. Apparently no one in the Administration has read a pair of new studies, one from its own EPA, that expose ethanol as a bad deal for consumers with little environmental benefit."

...but it looks like the Farm Lobby continues unabated.

Even I would be curious on the administration's answer to the question. "More ethanol? How about NO ethanol?"

Despite this Presidents constant and always talking about not listening to lobbyists it seems they are ALL working quite well.

I hope you read the link from the NY Times on the thread ONE REASON ONLY which addresses the success of the banking lobby which I am sure you are aware !
