Who's really to blame for high oil prices

Counting our oil shale we have more petroleum than the Middle East. Counting our coal we have more energy reserves than the entire rest of the world.

There are two people who could announce that they were going to do everything in their power to see that America would develop its own energy resources. That announcement would send the price of oil plummeting.

Who are these two people who could hand us $2.25 per gallon gas overnight if they just were willing?

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

They could lower oil prices with just a press release but they refuse to do so.

Why?
