A Promise Made by the Last Eight Presidents

Jon Stewart, America's favorite bogus news anchor, recently reviewed a promise that the last eight American presidents have made and not delivered on. That promise, updated last week by our current chief executive, Barack Obama, is to resolve our ongoing energy crisis which has led to inflation, wars, environmental catastrophe, and dependence on foreign nations.

Unfortunately, President Obama's vague statement about "unleashing America's innovation" will not be enough to resolve our worsening crisis (far from it). Instead, every American will have to make a serious effort to consume less energy and less of the things that are made with energy. If that was easy, we would have resolved the issue by now.
