McKinney Blasts Bush on Gas Prices

In a one minute speech on the house floor today, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) had the following to say about rising fuel prices in
America.

Thank you madam Speaker. The American people seem wedged between record oil company profits, half billion dollar retirement packages for oil executives, and a federal energy policy that just doesn't work.

Now, Americans have to choose not only between medicine through a prescription drug plan that is a boon to pharmaceuticals and a doggle to the people who need the drugs.

For years, people like me have been saying that this nation needs to decrease oil dependence:  that it was depletable, causes global warming, was not worth destroying ANWR, or waging wars, over.

Better policy is possible.  But we won't get it from this
Administration of oil barons.
