| Lets see…the price of gas has almost doubled since the democrats took the congress, and their latest approval rating is at a whopping 9%. I guess now she is going for the perfect ZERO %.
Taken from boortz.com
Nancy Pelosi has completely shut the door on expanding our efforts to drill for oil. Just like that, Nancy has decided that companies can use the areas that have already been approved for exploration. Period. End of story. She calls the idea of drilling in areas that are protected "a hoax." Well isn't that comforting? Better get used to these high gas prices.
Just a few points: Yes, there are some areas that have been opened to exploration, and yes, the oil companies have yet to pull any oil out of them. But there are some explanations. One, they've found no oil there to extract. Two, if there is oil there the depths involved and other logistical problems make extraction either impossible or far too expensive. The point here is that there are other areas where oil can be extracted economically .. and those are the areas shut down by Democrats.
Of course, according to Nancy Pelosi, the real problem is the Republicans. She says that efforts to expand drilling are "a decoy to punt your attention away from the fact that [Republican] policies have produced $4-a-gallon gasoline." Really? What policies are those Nancy? Tell me what policies the Republicans have supported that has caused our gas prices compared to Democrats. The truth of the matter is ... you're all failures.
Here's what's going on. Democrats understand that there is a strong likelihood that oil prices will drop – perhaps a lot – if the United States announces that we're opening up ANWR, the Florida Gulf Coast, the outer continental shelf, the oil shale lands out west and other areas to oil exploration and recovery. OPEC countries would immediately put downward pressure on prices in hopes that they could derail or forestall the new American effort. Democrats also know that the voters in this country have this nasty tendency to blame – or credit – the party controlling the White House for good and bad economic news. Democrats won't do anything that might allow the Republicans to look good ... even if you have to pay five bucks a gallon for gas.
Aren't you people just going to love it when Pelosi, Reid and Obama are running the whole show?

And we hear from another "tolerant" liberal. "I don't know shit"??? Has the price of gas not gone from $2.26 to over $4 since they took over? Are their approval ratings not 9%?
Seriously….if (god forbid) B. Hussein Obama gets elected, who are you people going to blame for every single thing out there?

| Just to set the record streight on gas prices. During the 8 years that Clinton was in office, the adverage price of a gallon of self serve reg. only rose a wopping .31 cents. When Bush took off in 2000, that price stood at $1.31 a gallon, AND the price of crude was around $12 bucks a barrel. That price is now over $4 a gallon for self serve reg. and I just read that a barrel of crude has set another high at $147. Way to go Geroge. Out in the north western part of PA, and neighboring New York state in that same regon, they are drilling like crazy. That's the finest oil in the world, and those folks that happen to own their own oil leases are paid about 3/4 as much for their oil as the rag heads receive. Again, way to go George.

Noted...but the fact remains....Has the price of gas not gone from $2.26 to over $4 since they took over? Are their approval ratings not 9%? Why are they getting none of the blame...especially considering the originally posted paragraphs. Way to go Nancy!!

Carter would have stoped our addiction to oil and made this country independent and not dependent, you are 30yrs to late and the globial economy is on the verge of disaster by muslim idiots and their greedy oil monopoly!!

Wait a minute. I thought it was all Bush's fault. As far as the investors, here is some advice, BUY STOCKS.

| No president, no party, no congress has diddly-squat to do with gas prices.
You want to do something that's actually constructive?
Quit buying so much gas/petroleum products and get off your asses and walk or bike as much as possible.
It'll work wonders on your beer guts, too.
