Will Congress follow the Presidents lead and lift their ban after 3 straight days of falling oil prices?????

Question

I hope the American people realize what the dem Congress is trying to do to us. They want us to pay $5 a gallon for gas because they are so beholden to the special interest groups. Wake up people!!!!!! I know many of you dems hate George Bush so bad but give him some credit for this. It's not a coincidence that when he lifted the ban prices fell. OPEC knows he means business. Will Congress follow suit? They will keep on falling but I don’t have much hope for them.....

Answer 1

the democratic controlled congress is so anti-American, such liberal, new world order elites. I don't know how so many Americans can be blinded by the disgraceful politics the dems are playing with our liberty, our economy and our way of life. shame on them. I can't wait til Obama loses in November and the dem congress (with its 9% approval rating) follows suit

Answer 2

Although I would prefer that the lifting of the ban in order to allow states to decide whether to drill, I think the recent price drops have more to do with a perceived drop in future demand, not a potential uptick in supply.

Answer 3

Let's pray that they do,for the sake of the American people.

Answer 4

Touché.

This nation is an open society where news is free flowing. By Prez Bush's lift of oil drilling bans, all the oil producing countries are realizing the highest oil use country is not going to be spending much in the future for their product so prices are going to plummet.

The democratic led congress has frequently caused problems to this nation and this is no exception.

Answer 5

Will you check for facts instead of listening to all the election year BS.  Not ONE oil executive have I heard wants to drill anywhere.  By the way, why didn't your party pass the frigging drilling bills when they had control of congress?

Answer 6

No we need a comprehensive energy policy not offshore drilling to destroy our country.

Answer 7

They will not. Anything Bush does is evil and they will do the exact opposite.

Answer 8

Why yes, everyone knows that the responsible thing to do to set the future energy policy of our nation is to depend on 3 random days of stock market activity!

DUH!

Answer 9

I realize that "our Congress" is playing politics with my wallet....they DO NOT want an economy that is strong and the best way to kill it is to have normal people like me spending ALL my money on Household expenses,food and gas to go to work.....the business' that depend on my spending any disposable income buying stuff will fail since i have no disposable income....as long as gas is high,Congress is killing the economy and therefore doing what they think is what needs to be done....so no,they will not allow more drilling...ever..even when we drag them out of their offices and set them on fire..which is what i want to do

Answer 10

By lifting the ban on drilling, Pres. Buish said . in effect " Dammit, let's DO something."

Honestly, I don't think our congress has any clue what " do something " means.  To follow suit would mean they acknowledge that George Bush  accomplished something. And I think the Dems would rather choke than admit it.

They'll probably call for a congressional hearing.

Answer 11

They have initiated some bills that put to task conservation by the American People..........use of mass transit, buses, bikes, etc.  What a bunch of DIMSHITS!!!!  This is all fine and dandy IF you live in a big metropolitan area.  Those of us out in the "country" and I mean country, will be up s***s creek without a paddle.

So the bogus Congress keeps sticking it to the Citizen once again folks.  OUST THESE POLITICIANS WHO ARE ACTUALLY HARMING THIS COUNTRY.

Also google The Energy Non Crisis........we have enough oil AND gas for this Country for 200 years!!!!  I guess our Politicians would RATHER they fill their pockets with the cap and trade c**p that bogus Gore spews of.

TIME TO WAKE UP AMERICA before there is no America of the FREE!!!!!
