The House has adjourned for its summer vacation, and the Democrats still did not bring to the House floor any legislation increasing the supply of American energy, despite gasoline prices reaching above $4-a-gallon in many locations nationwide. You might be interested to read, however, what the Democrats have brought to the House floor instead. For example…
The Democrat leadership has prevented the full House from even considering a Republican bill ending the prohibition on oil shale leasing on federal lands, H.R. 6211
INSTEAD, the Democrat leadership brought to the House floor a bill prohibiting the sale of wild, free-roaming horses and burros, H.R. 249
The Democrat leadership has prevented the full House from even considering a Republican bill ending the moratorium on oil and gas leasing on most of the Outer Continental Shelf, H.R. 6302
INSTEAD, the Democrat leadership brought to the House floor a bill preventing monkey bites by banning the sale of non-human primates, H.R. 2964
The Democrat leadership has prevented the full House from even considering a Republican bill opening a small area of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to energy development, H.R. 3089
INSTEAD, the Democrat leadership brought to the House floor a resolution honoring the ideals of the International Year of Sanitation, H. Congressional Resolution 318.
The Democrat leadership has prevented the full House from even considering a Republican bill ending the prohibition on the government procuring fuels from unconventional sources, H.R. 5656
INSTEAD, the Democrat leadership brought to the House floor a bill creating a Native Hawaiian tribe where one does not exist, H.R. 505.
The Democrat leadership has prevented the full House from even considering a Republican bill expediting the permitting of petroleum refineries, H.R. 6165
INSTEAD, the Democrat leadership brought to the House floor a bill waiving the permitting requirements for the discharge of bilge water, S. 2766.
And the list goes on and on.
Again; It’s clear that Democrats have priorities—but none of them involves an increase in American energy to help bring down gasoline prices.

Here's another one of Obama's grand slam ideas. Tax those mean old oil companies so they can just pass that cost on to us in higher gas prices. Yeah.... that sounds like a grand idea. Instead of $3 or $4 a gallon gas, just add a another tax so we can pay $5 or $6 a gallon. Brilliant idea; Totally brilliant!

Don't you just love one of Barack Obama's energy solutions, "Just keep your car tires pumped up", yeah.... sure. With energy savings like that we'll be shipping oil back to the middle east any day now.
Don't bother me with this energy stuff, I'm on my five week vacation.

It’s clear that Nancy Pelosi's and her Democrats have priorities-but none of them involves an increase in American energy to help bring down gasoline prices.
Me too!
It looks like Obama's Energy Solution has fallen apart.
