President, Congress offer no immediate help on gas prices – CNN.com
With the parties deeply divided on solutions, it’s not surprising that last week a Senate bill requiring major cuts in greenhouse-gas emissions failed.
Only 48 of 100 senators voted for it amid charges by White House press secretary Dana Perino that the bill would have a devastating impact on the economy and thus might not really help cut the price in gasoline.
But six absent senators, including Obama and Republican John McCain, said they would have voted yes to end debate and move forward on the bill. That led some in Congress to declare that Congress will have the momentum to take action next year on reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil.

So let me get this straight…we pay both Obama and McCain to be Senators, and to represent their constituents. They are supposed to be there doing their part in the senate, right? So, they “would have voted yes to end debate” but they couldn’t be bothered to do their job because they’ve spent their entire time in office campaigning. Am I getting this straight?
Can someone please pay me to go look for a different job for 2 years while I don’t do this one? WTF.
