What your politicians are telling you about the high price of oil and exploration:

“For many Americans, there is no more pressing concern than the price of gasoline. Truckers and farmers, small-business owners have been hit especially hard. Every American who drives to work, purchases food or ships a product has felt the effect, and families across the country are looking to Washington for a response,”

“My administration has repeatedly called on Congress to expand domestic oil production. Unfortunately, Democrats on Capitol Hill have rejected virtually every proposal, and now Americans are paying the price at the pump for this obstruction.”
“Congress must face a hard reality: Unless members are willing to accept gas prices at today’s painful levels or even higher, our nation must produce more oil and we must start now.”
--President George Bush

Makes sense to me. Now let’s hear from the moronic side of the argument:

“There is no way that allowing offshore drilling would lower gas prices right now. At best you are looking at five years or more down the road.”

Democrat Barack Obama

The only reason I don’t call him a f*king loser is cause he might actually win. Then WE would be the f*cking losers.

“Another bad idea.”

“It’s going to take 10 years to fully get that oil out of the ocean. It’s a fragile ecosystem,”

“You know this president, all he wants to do is drill, drill, drill. There is very little on conservation, on fuel efficiency for vehicles. Just last week the Congress failed to pass a solar tax credit — give more incentives to renewable energy, solar and wind. A one track mind — drill drill drill — that’s not going to work,”

Democrat Bill Richardson

This from the guy who was in Charge of Energy during the Clenis’ reign of terror? Even this pendejo cannot be this frakking stupid.
