"The president of the United States, with gas at $4 a gallon because of his failed energy policies, is now trying to say that is because I couldn't drill off shore," Pelosi commented during an Interview. "That is not the cause, and I am not going to let him get away with it." Just how did Nancy Pelosi acquire this inflexible attitude about offshore drilling? The Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969, an event that solidified Californians objections to offshore drilling. "We learned the hard way that oil and water do not mix on our coast," Pelosi spoke to a committee establishing her case for maintaining the ban on offshore drilling in 1996. And there in lays the problem, Nancy Pelosi in her capacity as Speaker of the House no longer represents her district in California, but all Americans. Unfortunately just like the Democratic Congress, Mrs. Pelosi has become deaf to the will of the American people she took an oath to serve, and instead is pushing her own environmental agenda. Also unfortunately in her role as Speaker of the House any recession on the ban on offshore drilling must pass through her before it can be enacted. So as you fill up at the pump and pay anywhere from $4 to $5 dollars a gallon, just remember it's Nancy Pelosi and her hard-line views that have helped to make this energy crisis possible.
