Two Years Later

Today is June 8, 2008. Let's turn back time to April 24, 2006 and read the following from Nancy Pelosi's website:

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...

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.

This statement was made during the Democrats' 2006 bid to take control of Congress. In November of that year, Democrats were successful in that bid.

Now, let's fast-forward back to the current date. Americans woke up today, less than two years after Democrats took control of Congress, to the following headline: "Gas Hits National Average of $4 for the First Time"

How thankful we should all be for Nancy Pelosi, her Democrat cronies, and their "commonsense plan to help bring down skyrocketing gas prices"!
