Amazing the objections the left is coming up with when they see bulk of americans want to drill and there stance will be a negative come November.
1st it was --you have millions of acres leased already--drill on them--but when it was noted most these properties don't have enough oil to make drilling feasible they come up with this slight of hand.
Does Cenk Uyger expect people in U.S. to sell oil on their land at half the price of world oil price?
Free enterprise sets world prices for oil--we buy oil at same price China or others do--where it comes from doesn't make any diff--the crux of matter is factors that establish price of oil. Does supply demand ring any bells.
Will the 1st Dem step forward and tell us if we (or other countries) have more oil it won't deter Opec and others from naming their price.

Pelosi: ?With Skyrocketing Gas Prices, Americans Can No Longer Afford Rubber Stamp Congress?
Monday, April 24, 2006

Washington, D.C. ? House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on President Bush?s, Speaker Hastert?s, and the Republican Congress? empty rhetoric on gas prices. Key facts on the Majority's failure to address gas prices follows Pelosi?s statement.
With skyrocketing gas prices, it is clear that the American people can no longer afford the Republican Rubber Stamp Congress and its failure to stand up to Republican big oil and gas company cronies. Americans this week are paying $2.91 a gallon on average for regular gasoline ? 33 cents higher than last month, and double the price than when President Bush first came to office.
?With record gas prices, record CEO pay packages, and record oil company profits, Speaker Hastert and the Majority Congress continue to give the American people empty rhetoric rather than join Democrats who are working to lower gas prices now.
?Democrats have a commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices by cracking down on price gouging, rolling back the billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies, tax breaks and royalty relief given to big oil and gas companies, and increasing production of alternative fuels.?

fact of the matter dems nor rebs can control price of oil/gas -- other than use less or produce more.
I agree, Wayne. Just a stupid 'campaign promise' from the dems. It's funny that you cite Pelosi for not correcting what this admin caused without mentioning the actual cause.
There is absolutely no question that our Iraq adventure caused this and there is no end in sight on our occupation or the gas prices.
And if W and/or Israel pulls off an attack on Iran before he leaves, 4 dollars will look like a great bargain.
