The American people get it, though. The administration doesn't. That's the problem. In fact, whether it's the oil spill and the disaster that's going on there and their disastrous response to that or forcing ObamaCare through against the will of the American people, all this administration is showing the American people is its arrogance, its ignorance, and its incompetence. That's exactly what the American people have seen. In fact, just on the oil spill, just the other day I was talking to a fireman in my district and he asked me about this oil disaster and the poor response that this administration has shown. This working guy, just a guy trying to make a living and take care of his family and struggling to make ends meet, asked me if this administration was purposely not responding to this oil spill just so that they could force through their cap-and-trade. I call it tax- and-trade. Because President Obama himself said this was about revenue. He had to have that revenue from this energy tax to pay for his health care plan for ObamaCare.
