Oversight of the Bush Administration’s Energy Policy

Oversight of the Bush Administration's Energy Policy - Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming - 2008-05-22 - As oil and gas hit new records above 34 a barrel and .81 this week, many analysts are predicting even further increases in the price of gasoline as we edge towards the travel months of summer. To explore the Bush administration's contributions to this energy crisis and the administration's refusal to respond, Chairman Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) and the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming held a hearing with Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman. The Select Committee asked Secretary Bodman questions on gas prices, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and the Bush administrations continued defence of the 8 billion in tax breaks the top five most profitable oil companies continue to receive. House Democrats want to redirect these tax breaks in order to fund renewable energy that could help consumers. Video provided by the US House of Representatives.

Senior Administration officials, including Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, host a forum on protecting creators and consumers from intellectual property theft. December 15, 2010.

    It seems to me that FREEDOM is being minipulated by "well obviously we know who by." Be careful as to what u say. We r all under watch and sooner or later speaking our mind or standing up for our rights will be treason against our country. Nothing will get better but worse VERY Worse we have ever seen. All these meetings and discussions are leading up to invading or privacy and freedom of speech. To make us become controlled more then we already are now. Wake up everyone. Just my oppinion

    More than 125 illegal aliens captured in Ok. Fed officers apprehended 127 illegals as part of a four-day state-wide interior immigration enforcement operation that began July 12.
    100 have been returned to Mexico. Re-entering the US after having been deported is a felony punishable up to 20 yrs in prison. ICE works closely with the U.S. Attorneys' Offices in the N & W Districts of Ok to prosecute illegals who violate U.S. immigration laws.
    U bastards , I hope U come to Oklahoma !

    All wealth, property (intellectual and otherwise) should "controlled by the gov't. That way the "owners, inventors, or originators)" won't have to be "worried" about such matters. Let "our father who are in washington" send us our "monthly stipend" and we'll be good little boys and girls for this Christmas, !oops! I meant "the winter holiday".

    @ridehonda107
    Everybody knows the government isn't the epitome of efficiency and cost-cutting accountability.
    In all likelihood, we are paying an unreasonably massive sum of money so the government can transmit its bullshit in all mediums.

    Watch the 'myth of science as a public good'. Also 'Against intellectual monopoly', and anything by Stephen Kinsella

    1) Hold your breath.

    2) Copy all of these steps.

    3) Go to two other videos.

    4) Paste it in the comments

    If you can do all this without breathing you're a good pot smoker.
