“Recently I met with some people in Texas in the trucking industry. We discussed the administration's domestic energy policy--how the administration is against using more American coal; how the administration is against drilling in ANWR; how the administration is stonewalling the drilling on Federal lands; how the administration has delayed offshore-drilling permits; and how the administration uses the EPA to block domestic energy production. Since the administration is against so much, what is it in favor of? Then Dalton handed me this--yes, a tire gauge--and reminded me that the President touted his energy plan when he said this: We could save all the oil they are talking about getting off drilling if everybody would just inflate their tires and get tune-ups. Really? That's it, more air in our tires? Now, you know, Mr. Speaker, more hot air will save us all. Now there's an energy plan we can all be proud of. And that's just the way it is. ____________________”
