Unbelievable. That outrageous statement from Pelosi could have just as easily come from the 'benevolent big government' in "Atlas Shrugged".

Comments like hers are sickening.

Are the Chinese going to be drilling in U.S. waters? Somehow that wouldn’t surprise me.

Nancy, it's your party's fault we are paying sky high price for oil. If we were able to drill in the US, offshore and Alaska, we'd have plenty of oil.

The New Direction Congress

Yeah, Nancy, that's it: the "New Direction" Congress. Well, down - as in down to record low approval ratings - is certainly a direction, and you and Dingy Harry are doing a fine job of leading Congress there.

How sad that the first female Speaker of the House is such an unmitigated disaster and utter embarassment.

Oh I see, so a Democratic caucus that has consistently voted against drilling in ANWR, voted UNIANIMOUSLY in October 2005 to oppose the loosening of regulations on refinery building and against allowing fast tracking of refinery construction as well as against reducing the over 30+ boutique fuel blends enacted by the Clinton EPA (along with his 1996 veto of drilling in ANWR, the oil from which would have come online by now likely reducing pump prices by 50-75 cents a gallon) which tax refinery capacity and gasoline supplies, the same Democrats who refused to do anything to reduce legal liability on MBTE which has now made the stuff too legally dicey to continue to produce, thus forcing us into the costly ethanol use which also drives up the price of food, this same party which did as much as China and India’s consumption to drive up the price at the pump, these same DemoCrites now want to claim gas prices are all Bush’s fault??

Nancy, go to your plastic surgeon and ask him to loosen the skin gathers on your face. He’s obviously tied off the blood supply to your puny brain.

Convert more food into biofuel!

Convert the Democratic Congress to biofuel. Putz Schumer alone should be able to power several thousand homes for a year or two....

“Like he can control the demands of China and India that drove up that price.”

Has about zero to do with the price rise over the last years.

It’s about hedge funds parking money in commodities, and now people fleeing the dollar and parking even more money in commodities, incl. oil. In turn the decline of the dollar nearly automatically raises the price of oil, oil trades being denominated in dollars.

Bush is at fault. The chickens have come home to roost. His big deficits and “tax cut and borrow” policies have now reached their fruition. The Dems can’t make much of this because they have no intention of spending any less.

I can remember when gasoline was 25 cents a gallon.

I really think we need an "old direction Congress".

"But I thought we invaded Iraq for cheap oil?"

We did - and we thoroughly eradicated that mischievous devil, too...

I just scanned it, knowing what I’d see: “Bush’s fault”.

I wonder how many years we’ll have to hear this crap from the BDS sufferers.
