dear nancy..

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday shut the door on expanding oil
and gas drilling beyond areas that have already been approved for energy
exploration, drawing a clear distinction from her counterparts in charge of the
Senate.
“This call for drilling in areas that are protected is a hoax, it’s
an absolute hoax on the part of the Republicans and this administration” Pelosi
said at her weekly press conference. “It’s a decoy to punt your attention away
from the fact that their policies have produced $4-a-gallon
gasoline.”
Pelosi’s stand may put her at odds with a growing number of
members of the Democratic Caucus who have been moving toward possible
compromises with Republicans on ways to expand domestic energy
production.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday told
reporters that expanded offshore drilling is not off the table, and that
Democrats will take a look at whether states should be able to choose to drill
off their coasts. “I’m not knee-jerk-opposed to anything,” Reid said.

dear nancy - talk is cheap. your record speaks for itself.
the question is whether the nation is ready to put a president in office who feels the same way. the problem is, most people don't know anything about obama or the congress and what they really do and what they really stand for.
