Nancy Pelosi Responds To President Bush
WASHINGTON, July 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on President Bush’s announcement lifting the executive ban on drilling in protected coastal areas:
“Once again, the oilman in the White House is echoing the demands of Big Oil.
“The Bush plan is a hoax. It will neither reduce gas prices nor increase energy independence. It just gives millions more acres to the same companies that are sitting on nearly 68 million acres of public lands and coastal areas.
“If the President wants to bring down prices in the next two weeks, not the next two decades, he should free our oil by releasing a small portion of the more than 700 million barrels of oil we have put in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
“It’s time to tell the oil industry: ‘You already have millions of acres to drill. Use it or lose it.’”

Let them eat cake!
This over-ripe, prune face, uptight, hypocritical, control -freak, rich beatch is beginning to piss me off. She sits up there on her hand made throne, believing her own thoughts of self-importance.
I do believe it is time for her to go.
But before I donate to Cindy Sheehan’s campaign let me inform the old bug-eyed rag that her political talking points are nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Somebody send her the memo- there is no oil on the land the oil companies lease. If there was they would be drilling it.
It will certainly reduce the price because the speculators will see that the U.S. means business. They are drilling, and through it may take some time to come on line, the rules of the game are changing.
In the meantime, what are they offering? NOTHING, except for taxes!
This is a prime example of why the congressional approval rating is in the single digits- at an all time low since it has been recorded.
This liberals are doing their damnedest to turn this country into the failure that is known as California.
There’s something for her to ponder as she lay in her head on her Orphelia pillow, in between thoughts of HER failed congressional leadership.
George, it’s hawg boilin’ time.
