#ObamaGap Between Words & Actions on Energy

At his weekly press conference today, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) highlighted the "Obama Energy Gap" -- the glaring discrepancy between the president's rhetorical support for Republicans' 'all-of-the-above' energy policy, and his failed energy record that has driven up gas prices and cost American jobs. As President Obama visits Cushing, Oklahoma today in a desperate attempt to claim credit for expediting the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline, Speaker Boehner noted that President Obama has rejected and personally lobbied against the pipeline, and that there's only one permit requiring his approval -- the one he is currently blocking to facilitate the flow of Canadian and American energy to U.S. refineries.

the reason why things are going to shit is because the president has nothing to fix the problems

the dems had 2 golden years as they had majorities in everything to fix everything the way they saw fit and have done nothing and blame the republicans somehow

Boehner is a ten times better man than that thin skinned president we have.
