We must all take a step back and realize that San Fran Nan is out to save the planet. She also must prevent her dear friend, Dirty Harry Reid from getting “sick” from oil.
The vast reserves that this nation possesses will go untapped as long as the Democrats are in control of the majority. In the meantime, we send billions of dollars to foreign countries yearly while our own energy independence is shackled by a party that would prefer $5.00 a gallon gas, and a broken economy.
It will be interesting to see how the media will find a way to protect their “investment” in liberal causes when over 70% of the nation believes it’s time to open up our own reserves.
Obama has (in the Clinton tradition of governing by polls) once again shifted his position on offshore drilling just enough to appease the “undecided’s” knowing full well that the environmental lobby will tie up the much needed exploration with lawsuits well into the next decade, (think spotted owl). Thiry years of obstruction by the left’s judicial fiat, (in the name of environmental protection), has finally hit the pocket books of all of us as global demand has left us defenseless. Pelosi, Reid, and the Democrat Party will be on the losing side of this issue. I just hope it take it’s toll in November.

Note the date and time when George S actually started DOING HIS JOB
I don’t think the democrats were ever going to allow a straight up and down vote on this one, it’s just too close to their liberal core. Still an interesting video — shows fairly poorly on her part.
I loved when he showed the 2006 rhetoric from Pelosi about how there will be votes on issues and amendments allowed on the floor, and then she tried to explain why she’s doing the exact opposite of what got her and her party elected to power 2 yrs ago.

The president is going to call her bluff and release some oil from the reserve, then what is she going to do.
Stating the same tired mantras again and again does not make them true.
For example in her strange world of inverted logic, the objective of “Reducing our dependance on foreign oil” is somehow meant to prove that we must not drill for our own oil! Doesn’t she understand that if we don’t produce our own oil, then we must buy it elsewhere! The only alternative is that she must think we don’t need oil and higher prices are the cost of teaching us a lesson.

She didn’t say she was opposed to drilling our own oil. She said she was opposed to drilling in protected sites..when there are unprotected ones with leases pending available. Further, that such drilling would not do anything to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, or lower prices at the pump, nor save the planet (her priorities). But, the between the lines on this is much the same as any democrat ……if such a drilling bill was brought to the floor for an up and down vote, it would pass. It would pass because people are stupid and gullible and must be protected from themselves by her—and the democrats. The ignorance of arrogance.

Stephanopoulos knows this is a big issue for the Dems — he’s trying to get them on the same page as the American people because this is going to kill them in November.
It’s amazing really — these guys would rather sink the ship than do something productive for a change. It’s like Rush always says, ‘they are sowing the seeds for their own landslide defeat.’

Greetings:
You know, we don’t hear much of that First Woman Speaker of the House anymore.
If Obama can get away with harping on the Bush-McCain linkage, I don’t know why McCain and the Republicans aren’t going after the Obama-Pelosi-Reid troika.
11B40: Good point. Especially since Bush is leaving office, but an unholy trinity of Obam-uhhh, Reid and Pelosi would actually govern.

Guess it’s all a ploy, election strategy. Nancy’s carrying the weight, absorbing all the heat. Wonder what she will do if Iran shuts down the Straight?
Missy: There will be a vote on drilling. The congressional moratorium on ALL offshore sites expires Sept. 30 and requires a vote to be extended in any form.
Two ways this could shake out:
1. Pelosi and Reid shove the moratorium into a continuing resolution required to keep the government open (because they haven’t done their jobs and passed appropiration bills) then dare Bush to veto it and blame him for shutting down the government
or
2. Craft a compromise bill that includes SOME drilling, but refuses to allow votes on ANWR, California and Northeast offshore and Colorado shale.
With the attention the “gang of 10” proposal is getting, option #2 is more likely. Sadly, it will leave 10’s of billions of barrels of oil off limits.
People should ask why it is O.K. to drill off the Florida beaches but not in the frozen wasteland of ANWR?
That’s a pretty accurate transcript.
Good….GOD!!!!!
I want a 2006 recount.
It’s no use. She’ll never understand her own errors. I can’t wait for the chance to vote her and her like out.
