And when there is not a downturn does Pelosi credit Mr. Bush?
Keep thinking along those lines dear Speaker and you’ll be bounced out of office by your constituents who are fed up with high gas prices, high taxes, and little congressional progress. Remember dear Speaker YOUR approval rating is something like 9%. What a moron!
My gosh this woman is an idiot.
“First of all, it will not bring down the price of the pump for 10 years and only two cents at that,” Pelosi said.

BS!
None of those quotes make any sense.
Sheer gobbledygook.
She’s going to ave the planet!! Stop picking on her!!
She’s trying to save the planet....that’s not your job fancy nanz; your job is to do as the people wish. We wish for drilling, nuclear power, coal gasification, coal power plants, and to quit sending our energy money to our enemies. I despise that woman!
Strawman alert!
For Speaker of the House Pelosi to claim that Republicans have said, but for offshore drilling our economy would be great, is a hoax . . . by Nine Percent Nancy. Nobody has claimed that OCS drilling would fix the current slow economy. Nobody.
Pelosi and Reid..prime examples of corrupt tyranny denying representaion for the People.
If you like $4/gal, Thank No Drill Nancy.
Pray for W and Our Troops
What a ditz. The only thing more stupid than Pelosi is a dem voter. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups...like the House and Senate for example
This is a desperate gamble with an election only a few months away. There must be a LOT of money at stake for her to stonewall this issue.
Pelosi’s seat is 100% safe, but there have to be more than just a few Democrats in Congress who are facing incredible heat from their constituents on this issue. When they face enough heat to be concerned about getting reelected, they’ll start transferring the heat to Pelosi. (Actually, it would be grosse schadenfreude to see Pelosi with her dilated eyes and fake smile handing the gavel over to a Republican, but as much as I’d enjoy seeing that, I’d enjoy more knowing the right thing was being done for our energy future ASAP.)
My GOP congresscritter is on board with offshore and ANWR drilling, but if you have a Democrat congresscritter, be sure to call his/her office EVERY day and gripe-mention Pelosi and Reid’s stonewalling. Get your friends and relatives to call, too.
Just like the shamnesty bill, a huge public outcry will get the Democrats to cave.
Nancy Nancy Nancy...........you ignorant, lying, Socialist b**ch.
Pelosi thinks she’s a goddess, just because The New World Order made her Speaker. She said we have to save the planet. Only God can do that.
Wowsers!!! Economics is DEFINITELY not her strong suit. She probably hasn't noticed but, ever since Bush rescinded the offshore drilling ban enacted by his father and challenged Congress to allow domestic drilling and offshore drilling, the price of crude oil has dropped like a rock!!
It is also not only disingenuous, but an outright lie to say that we won't see any change at the pump for 10 years!!! Most oil industry experts speculate that crude from ANWR could be flowing in 4 - 6 years and offshore wells could be producing in 3 - 5 years.
But, I guess Nance is too busy pushing her book titled "Me, Me, Me and Me: A Memoir About the Most Influential Person in MY Life" to bother with what's happening in America that affects her job!!!
(Note to Nance - CONGRESS spends the money and sets the budget - the President makes suggestions, submits his wish list and signs the budget if he agrees with it - the current economic downturn belongs to you, Harry Reid and the entire liberal establishment! But, don't let facts get in the way of a good lie, Nance).
If she were capable of comprehending this, she would have gotten out of the way long ago and devoted her life to knitting or croquet or stamp collecting--something she's qualified for. Maybe floor mopping. Something like that.
Maybe somebody could get Nancy interested in ballroom dancing. Or making those little cloth covers that go on toilet seats and toilet paper--no not that; those things are health hazards.
Do you think making fruit cakes would be beyond her? There would be a certain humor in it that the intelligent might find amusing, especially as they would quickly realize it was keeping her out of trouble--and out of the way of everybody else. Unless, of course, she managed to screw that up and wound up poisoning some people--not an unlikely possibility--and something to worry about that must be weighed against the benefits of getting her out of the way.
Somebody send Nancy a fruitcake recipe. Tell her it's her true calling. Don't worry. She won't get the irony.
And as for concerns about it--better that she screw up a fruitcake recipe than what's she's doing now!
Come on, Freepers, swamp her phones! Unless we put the pressure on our Congress critters, they won't budge. Make it politically miserable for them.
