Disgust with Speaker Pelosi

I’m absolutely disgusted with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi...!

I’m referring to what she told CNN that she would block any vote to allow offshore drilling.

How dare her to be so blatantly arrogant to say that "she will not allow additional reserves to be drilled because oil companies already hold leases on 68 million acres of federal land that are not being drilled".

Is she just totally oblivious of the recent Congressional testimony of oil company representatives who told us that IF they had found oil under these lands, they would be already be pumping it ?

She really NEEDS to understand that the oil companies need to drill where the oil is.

Known reserves offshore, in Alaska, the Bakken fields of North Dakota and Montana, and elsewhere, can meet the energy demand for at least 100 years.

Americans need to ask, "Why is it that Pelosi and her colleagues don't want this oil produced?"

Instead, she says the president should release 70 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserves, which would provide immediate price relief.

This alternative would supply less than four days of the U.S. demand, and this wouldn’t change the pump price of gasoline even a tenth of a cent. This silly proposal would do NOTHING to increase the supply of oil and decrease the amount we need to import.

With thinking like this from our Congressional leaders, it’s no wonder why Congress’s approval rating is only 14%.
