Blame it on the Republicans? “Yes, it’s the people who have no power or control’s fault that you don’t like us”.

Scary.

“Yet she proposed releasing the equivalent of 3.5 days worth of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.”

Nancy, psst, hey Nancy, here is another little tip for you, if we deplete our SPR, what are we going to use when Iran sinks a couple tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and we have used up that oil from the SPR for your media circus. Hey Nancy, please, I know you are really really very super smart (or, at least you think you are - super super liberal doesn’t naturally equal smart — it really just equals weak), but why don’t you (or your secretary) please look up “Operation Earnest Will.” Then after your little history lesson, how about sitting back and having a hot steaming cup of shut the F up and leave the SPR alone. Drill here, drill now, save money.
