Hang on, did I just come back to this thread hoping to see new facts posted, only to find absolutely NOTHING except ranting and raving? Wow. So back on the fact-front, observe the following:

1992: Percentage of US that was imported: 46%
2000: Percentage of US that was imported: 61%
2005: Percentage of US that was imported: 64% estimated

The signs were clear from the fact that oil imports were rising like crazy, yet the Clinton administration never raised the red flag because heck, gas was $0.89/gallon, who's going to care? Why plan for the future when you can just tout how cheap gasoline is today under your administration's do-nothing-except-the-interns guidance?
