Bush Calls for Offshore Drilling
President Bush's father, former President George H. W. Bush signed an executive order in 1990 which strengthened the ban Congress enacted years earlier. In 1998, President Bill Clinton extended the ban until 2012. Opponents of lifting the ban claim that any new drilling will not result in additional oil until years later, and that environmental and tourism concerns make additional drilling unpopular and unlikely.The New York Times: Bush Will Seek to End Offshore Oil Drilling Ban (June 18, 2008)

Arnold Schwarzenegger Convention Speech 2008
Schwartzeneggar gave his first major national address at the 2004 Republican Convention in New York City. The following is an excerpt from that speech.
- "Now, many of you out there tonight are "Republican" like me in your hearts and in your beliefs. Maybe you're from Guatemala. Maybe you're from the Philippines. Maybe Europe or the Ivory Coast. Maybe you live in Ohio, Pennsylvania or New Mexico. And maybe, just maybe, you don't agree with this party on every single issue. I say to you tonight I believe that's not only okay, that's what's great about this country. Here we can respectfully disagree and still be patriotic, still be American and still be good Republicans."Newsday.com: Text of Arnold Schwarzenegger speech (August 31, 2004)

Sarah Palin Bobbys World
Chicago's WGNtv local news broadcast aired a viewer's comment which points out strong similarities between the voice of Sarah Palin and the voice of the mom from the cartoon Bobby's World. The mother from Bobby's World is voiced with a heavily Midwestern-accented dialect, viewed by some as similar to Palin's folksy speaking style.
