Bush, Beauprez enjoy jerking us around

The administration has made much hay out of the way it cut funding for the National Renewable Energy Labratory in Golden and then magically restored it the day before the President came to town.

But you knew it was a bunch of lies, right?

The Rocky Mountain News reports that the "National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden is getting only $5 million from the Department of Energy to offset its $28 million budget cut in fiscal 2006 - money that is barely sufficient to rehire the 32 employees it had laid off earlier this month."

Somewhere, our President is trying to rid himself of his pants, because they're on fire. The truth is that our President only cares about helping his Republican crony Bob Beauprez, who was embarrassed when it was disclosed that he voted for job cuts in his own district.

The President's visit is a great opportunity for Democrats. I sincerely hope that Democratic candidate for governor Bill Ritter points out Beauprez's wishy-washy obsequiousness to the administration. But right now, the only Democrat who is getting any press out of the whole thing is CD7 Democratic candidate Ed Perlmutter, who blasted the President and you can read all about that in the Rocky.

UPDATE: I posted this last night. By this morning, some of the Rocky's articles had been moved around or rewritten. I apologize for some of the innacuracies. I tried to fix most of my links.
