I don't know that it really has anything to do with ideology. There's nothing ideologically "conservative" about protecting Tom DeLay. This isn't conservatism, this is just corruption, laziness, and arrogance due to power. Both parties have gone through this cycle forever, and it's coming back on the GOP.

He says he can't do anything about gas prices and we should build new oil refineries on closed army bases and build new Nuclear plants. Without debating the prose and cons of those ideas, I'm just going to say I think people will mostly hate the speech and that it will be targeted for it's lack of vision. It may have a little bit more impact than his manned mission to Mars speech, but not much more.

Well, to be fair, he proposed tax credits for people who buy hybrids. Here's the problem-- the energy bill already got through one house last week, and if the President truly wanted to influence this legislation, he would've made this speech
two weeks ago. He instead makes it today, and basically blames Congress for not pasing his energy bill a few years ago. I guess the buck stops at the appropriations committee.
