>> I can't imagine how you get your opinions. You sound as if you think energy commodity prices wouldn't be high and New Orleans wouldn't have flooded if a Democrat were President. If that isn't partisan what is it. I am sorry Brumar, but it seems you are so partisan that you are incapable of hearing what I say no matter how clearly I try to make it for you. Firstly, I am not discussing Dems or Reps; I am discussing effective and professional governance. In case you missed it, I am on the record as saying I do not find any of present DNC leaders worthy of presidency and would vote for the right Republican, if he is in the running. That you see everything people say in an extreme partisan light, is an indication of self projection. Secondly you seem to think there is no effective role for the government in prevention of major negative issues. It is a fact that if US had lower oil import needs, the global price of oil would have been lower. So energy reduction is a worthy goal that benefits the environment as well as the environment. Compared to the rest of the industrial world, US public transportation is a joke. Similarly, while it is true that Katrina would have hit New Orleans regardless of who is in charge, it is also tue that the city would not have been lost had its levies and infrastructures been fortified and better prepared...but I guess construction is not as glorifying an activity as destruction and war, so it got little attention.
