It was supposed to be a hearing about the Environmental Protection Agency’s requested 2013 budget, but Obama’s energy policies still managed to take center stage for a time at a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing Thursday.
During opening statements at the hearing, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R., Okla.) and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) traded jabs over President Obama’s energy production numbers until Boxer, also the committee chairwoman, banged her gavel to put an end to the conversation.

INHOFE: Let me just have 30 seconds to respond. That’s exactly—
BOXER: I didn’t, but—I didn’t, but—I’m happy to give you 30 seconds more.
INHOFE: And I was saying that in spite—that’s why, you know, we agree on this. We agree that in spite of all his punitive things that he has tried to do, which I’ve already said in my opening statement, fortunately, a lot of these shale deposits in areas where the Marcellus is up in Pennsylvania and New York places. People think normally it’s all out West, but it’s not.

Jim needs to tell Babs and the world that “We’re NOT going to hide behind word games to pretend the resources we have aren’t there, Sentor!”

The Elections of 1992 was a first class CLUSTER....(THANK YOU Goerge HW Bush)!
Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is proving himself to be a blithering idiot.
Obama says what he thinks his audience wants to be true, and then expects us to believe his lie.
Notice she has her fingers in her ears, going; ‘da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da’......
You mean she can hear?!
