Its strange when congress steps up and starts complaining about gas prices, the drop. CONGRESS WAKE UP!

I thought that this president wanted to allow more drilling in the US to help with this problem but on every turn the DEMs stopped him. Also if I remember correctly when the Rep. had control the Dems. yelled and screamed. Then they made a show of it by dragging all these Oil CEO's up in front of congress. They seem to be very quiet about gas prices now that they are in control. Could please explain how the Pres. and V Pres. have their hands in the OIl co. money?
