By a 213 to 212 vote, the Democrat majority in the House gets to take their Summer vacation instead of passing legislation to help the American people. Let the record be clear that the Republicans along with 17 Democrats voted against the Summer vacation. Democrats keep saying that they are the party of the little people. They are against the big bad business. Yet, they have plainly and simply ignored the will of the American people who overwhelmingly want additional offshore drilling. So as the American people keep paying $4/gallon for gas, Pelosi is proclaiming that she wants to save the world, while Reid is saying that he is responsible for the recent drop in crude oil price, and Obama is saying that he is the "symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions." And what would those "best" traditions be, Mr. Obama? Appeasement? Socialism? Citizen of the world? $8/gallon gas? Did someone forget to tell Obama that none of those things are American traditions? What Obama and the Democrats want to do is to create new traditions, not return America to its best traditions.
