They apologize for slavery but won't act on energy!

From the Associated Press:

The House on Tuesday issued an unprecedented apology to black Americans for the wrongs committed against them and their ancestors who suffered under slavery and Jim Crow segregation laws.

"Today represents a milestone in our nation's efforts to remedy the ills of our past," said Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, D-Mich., chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus.

But apparently, when it comes time to really help people in the United States, the House will not even vote on Energy legislation due to political reasons. From Reuters:

A partisan election-year battle over high gasoline prices and a Republican push to open more U.S. coastal waters and federal land to oil and gas drilling has brought work in the U.S. Senate to a halt.

God forbid they would do anything that would help everyday voters with gas prices. The House and Senate have stood idly by for too long while this country has no coherent energy policy. During the Clinton years, drilling in Anwar was passed. Clinton vetoed. And each year this country is more and more dependent on terrorist supporting nations for our oil. Losers every one.
