Bush was the one who called for offshore drilling.
"Called for"?
LOL He conducted a war as millions protested - he had the balls to just not give an "F". He just did it.
But even with the presidency and both houses - he didn't start the drilling. He "called for" it.
Sorry, but "calling for it" was nothing but a PR move to appeal to the base while keeping the status quo for his saudi bosses.
