"...There is now only one option left to keep congress from going on vacation. The President has a Constitutional Power to force congress into a special session to address energy legislation. The President can help his own dismal approval numbers and lame-duck status, by taking charge and forcing congress to go back to work."

Please GWB! Do this, do it now!!!

They are going to hear about this from their constituents in their home districts during their little vacation - that is, if some of them even have the nerve to show their faces there while they are refusing to allow this matter to even be voted on.

[Sacajaweau]

So much for our “REPRESENTAIVE” form of government.

Actually, the best thing that could happen for this country is for Congress to just stay on vacation ‘til after the election. And beyond, AFAIC.

Everything they’ve done up to this point has only made things worse. No reason tho think they’re gonna do any better.

Absolutely nothing good is going to come from the worst Congress with the most incompetent Congressional Leadership this country has ever seen.

Nancy Pelosi: “The Republicans MADE me hit my gavel. One of them sneaked behind me, grabbed my arm and yelled ‘This session is adjourned’ in a high falsetto voice. That wasn’t me.”

[savedbygrace]

What has this Congress do-nothing done to earn a vacation?

Nothing.

Get back to work, slackers.

Little Nazi Nancy just told America, Let Them Eat Cake!

Nancy Pelosi has to get out and do her book tour.

[edzo4]

[ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY]

ANYone who votes for these treasonous democrats in the Fall is a traitor himself!

I remember seeing a YouTube video where the speaker points out all of the vacation and federal holidays that Congress has created for themselves. While I can't remember the exact number, it seemed to me that Congress is only in session about 120 days a year. Then you get some power-hungry, ego maniac with a gavel like Pelosi running the show and she won't even allow debate on one of the most pressing issues of our time. She and Harry need to be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail. Do those two really reflect the way people in CA and NV think? Despicable.

In a vote to prevent the House of Representatives from taking vacation, 17 Democrats joined every Republican in the house only to see the measure fail by 1 vote. Nancy Pelosi was able to retain just enough votes to allow Congress to go forward with their month long vacation and further prevent any legislation aimed at addressing our energy crisis.

From a political perspective, me thinks the Dems shot themselves in the foot on this one.

[4yearlurker]

The President needs to call a press conference and make an opening statement or address the nation from the oval office concerning our non energy energy policy. Put the ball in the Rats court. Please do it Mr. President!

[popdonnelly]

Time to run for re-election so they can screw America for another two years.

“Nancy Pelosi was able to retain just enough votes to allow Congress to go forward with their month long vacation and further prevent any legislation aimed at addressing our energy crisis...”

Nancy, that is a great move!!!

Awesome job — you inability to pass any kind of meaningful legislation is testimony to your sheer ignorance of what is happening here in our (oooppppssss, my country).

Fortunately you have chosen to go on vacation, when the Dems from Red States return home without having voted on legislation to allow domestic drilling — they are going to get pummeled — and you will get the blame — I appreciate you taking one for your team.

You are safe, you are insulated in your ivory tower in san franciso where reality is elusive, but trust me, your Dem counterparts are going to get the liv’n S$#@ kicked out of them...so, don’t worry, take your vacation...

For those American’s that voted for change in 2006, when gas was $2.35 a gallon — they got change, with gas at $4.00 a gallon today (just two years of you being in charge)...we recognized we got “changed,” with no KY and little sand tossed in for good measure...

Great job clueless nancy...enjoy your vacation the fallout from this indecision will be as good as any Shakespeare play...
