Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid hate poor people too

Is there a Democrat out there who doesn't want to kill poor people and eat their children??? I am beginning too think the answer is a resounding NO!

Responding to the President's speech this morning Nancy Pelosi stated:

“another page from (an)... energy policy that was literally written by the oil industry — give away more public resources.”

while Barack Obama claimed:

“This is not something that’s going to give consumers short-term relief and it is not a long-term solution to our problems with fossil fuels generally and oil in particular,”

and Harry Reid stated:

“Despite what President Bush, John McCain and their friends in the oil industry claim, we cannot drill our way out of this problem,” Reid said. “The math is simple: America has just three percent of the world’s oil reserves, but Americans use a quarter of its oil.”

Apparently in addition to being a cold hearted bastard who wouldn't deign to piss on a poor person if they were on fire Harry also can't do math:

From my June 13th post:

It makes the point that the Democrats are opposed to increasing domestic supply, but it does nothing to refute the idea that we can't "drill our way out of the current shortage", so to put things in perspective I added some numbers (I always went with the low estimate):

ANWR Exploration

I really wonder about the intellectual capabilities of our elected representatives sometimes.
