I can’t believe Steffy asked the questions he did and repeated it that many times. I must say, he did a good job on this... could be better, but still...

I’m just sayin’...

My guess would be that Stephanopolous hit her harder than usual in an attempt to help the Dems to see the reality - most people want increased drilling. And many of those same people realize that alternative energy sources to replace oil are not there.

But we have a planet to save.

No Pelosi, we have a country to save. Spoken like a true socialist.

There is so much WRONG with what she said.

Pelosi:Free our oil, Mr. President. We're sitting on 700 million barrels of oil. That would have an immediate effect in ten days.

Use our strategic supply? It's for national emergencies and would be a drop in the bucket.

Pelosi:There's 68 million acres in lower 48 and 20 million more acres in Alaska where they're permitted where they could drill anytime.

Is there oil there? Will the Bureau of Land Management LET them drill?

Pelosi:Because the misrepresentation is being made that this is going to reduce the price at the pump. This is again a decoy, it’s not a solution.

Oil fell $11 a barrel when Bush lifted the EO.

Pelosi:But we have a planet to save. We have an economy to grow.

Emotional rhetoric. Sounds good, means nothing except to frighten people that we'll "ruin" the earth.

Pelosi:Invest in renewable energy resources so that we can increase the supply of energy for our country.

Wind and solar? Yeah, that'll work....someday. Maybe. When pigs fly.

Pelosi: one tactic in order to undermine a comprehensive energy package

Where's the package, Nancy? Haven't got one? You know, the plan that you ran on?

Pelosi: They'll have to use their imagination as to how they can get a vote and then they may get a vote.

Meaning "Dream on"?

Pelosi:What Senator Obama said is what we want a President to say.

Yes. And he's running.

he is to be commended for doing a fairly good grilling on Sunday.

Just because he sees a disaster in the making for the House in Nov. and is trying to save this woman from herself.

PELOSI: “They’ll have to use their imagination as to how they can get a vote.....”

This should be rich fodder for Rush, Hannity and Levin tomorrow....LOL

I guess the American people are going to have to imagine that gas still costs the same as it did before Queen Nancy and the democrats took Congress too!

(It has risen over 70% since the dems won in 2006 last time I checked.)

JUST USE YOUR IMAGINATION FOLKS TO FILL UP YOUR CARS, BECAUSE QUEEN NANCY WANTS TO SAVE THE PLANET!!

As for Pelosi, Americans should be embarrassed by her disgraceful performance.

If she's not embarrassed by her disgraceful performance, why should anybody else be?

Pelosi is nuts. The president has said do everything, McCain says do everything. Pelosi can't get it through her STUPID head.

Vote democrats out of office. ALL OF THEM.

Obama said all we needed to do was keep our tires inflated and gas will magically fill our tanks. Did I say Obama and magic in the same sentence?

That doesn’t matter..it is the lying soundbite that the Dems will scream now until November.

“BIGOILBIGOILBIGOILBIGOIL”

We need to start reminding the American people that the democrats are in the pockets of MARXIST ENVIRONMENTALISTS!!

STEPHANOPOULOS: But why not allow votes on all that? When you came in as Speaker you promised in your commitment book "A New Direction for America," let me show our viewers, you said that “Bills should generally come to the floor under a procedure that allows open, full, fair debate consisting of full amendment process that grants the Minority the right to offer its alternatives.” If they want to offer a drilling proposal, why can't they have a vote?

PELOSI: They'll have to use their imagination as to how they can get a vote and then they may get a vote. What I am trying to, we have serious policy issues in our country. The President of the United States has presented this but for this our economy would be booming. But for this, gas would be cheaper at the pump. It's simply not true. Even the President himself in his statement yesterday and before then has said, there is no quick fix for this by drilling.

Good question...from Stephanopoulos of all people! That's got to leave a mark. It sounds like this unexpected grilling rattled her botox-laden brain. But her she didn't lose her arrogance: "They'll have to use their imagination as to how they can get a vote...". What a tyrant.

Are they so beholden to the environuts that they will lose an election and control of Congress? I hope so...

steffy’s probably a LOT smarter than sanfrannan.

He’s trying to tell her “get this off the table, or there will be a BIG problem for you in November”

I believe this was Queen Bee Pelosi's "Let them eat cake" moment. Rush is going to have a BALL with this tomorrow!

Stuck on Stupid.

“Drill on the acreage we have allowed you to dig on”.
I am positive that the oil companies have done soundings, and they surely are NOT going to dig where all of their technology tells them there is no oil.
Pelosi just seems to think that ANYWHERE one drills, there will be oil!!!!!
She needs to read about the guy who wildcatted over 200 wells in Pennsylvania before he finally hit the first oil well in that state. Who pays for the wells that sti\rike ZERO!!!

I certainly hope that all the Demorats are very proud of this wiman who proves every day just how stupid one person can be.
