REMEMBER WHEN WE HAD APRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON?

The state of Louisiana is pushing for a greater share of oil royalties from the Outer Continental Shelf.
Former Senator Breaux thinks chances are better than in the past to get crucial White House support.
But Charlie Melancon, congressman from Napoleonville isn't so sure.
During a recent meeting business leaders and politicians had with Bush in New Orleans, Melancon asked Bush to support the state’s push for the royalties. “I said, ‘if you would help us get OCS revenue sharing, we could take care of our own problems,’ ” Melancon said. Melancon said Bush responded by asking, “What’s OCS?”
