Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) posted on her site, some statements made by a Texas Governor named George W. Bush who was running for president at the time.

Now that the price of oil is at a more resonable $55 a barrel, what tune is he singing now? I don't hear him saying to his Saudi partons, "We expect you to open your spigots". Do you? Most of the noise I hear is about drilling for oil in nature preserves.
Now that we've created another Middle Eastern Theocracy, it's time for us to get rid of our American Hypocrisy.
