Obey for Higher Gas Prices
According to this Ironwood Daily Globe story, Dave Obey made a little visit to commemorate Earth Day.
After 37 years in Congress, Dave Obey has done nothing to address our energy needs. He is the poster child for why gas prices are so high right now. The votes he has taken are for overly burdensome regulations and zero increased domestic supply of energy.
We all favor the development of alternative fuels, but you have to do something to address our current energy needs until those alternatives are developped. Yet, Dave Obey bows to the pressure of the left-wing environmentalists, who apparently would prefer a return to horse and buggy days, and he votes against increasing production of energy in the United States.
It just doesn't seem to bother Dave Obey that you could soon be paying $4 a gallon for gas. He thinks he can use it for political advantage, by blaming the Bush administration and "big oil companies."
Nowhere in his rather lengthy comments on the environment and energy sources did he say, "hey, here's what we can do to help lower your gas prices." We can only therefore conclude, it's because he doesn't want them low.
. . . . .
And to cap off his Earth Day comments, Obey said that we should have tough enforcement of our immigration laws. Just a reminder to those keeping score, Congressman Obey voted "no" (roll call vote #661) on tougher enforcement of our immigration laws. Nice to see Obey's consistent in one thing - political double-talk.
