Cavuto: To Drill or Not to Drill? Congress Won't Answer

Here's the Deal...
Stop playing "Let's Make a Deal."
Have you heard about this?
A Politico.com report that has Nancy Pelosi secretly telling Democratic members to campaign for oil drilling if it will help them with voters, and she'll take the heat for preventing any vote on said drilling.
This way, Pelosi keeps drilling off the table...And Democrats keep their seats in the House.
Pelosi's office isn't commenting.
But it comes as "both" presidential candidates are pitching immediate energy action...Like now!
Even Barack Obama wants to drill.
John McCain wants to drill.
Now we know quite a few Democrats want to drill.
Because quite a few more of their constituents demand they drill.
But here's tonight's news flash:
We're not going to drill.
Not when it's easier for Congress to have it both ways on drilling.
Say you want it.
But your boss won't allow a vote for it.
Then go on a five-week recess to avoid making a fuss over it.
Me?
I've had enough of it.
This isn't a Republican issue or Democrat issue.
This is simply "the" issue.
And rather than perform, Congressional leaders punt.
Arguing you can have your high-octane cake and eat it too.
I don't think I've ever heard anything more cynical in my life.
"If" you say energy is too important to waste a minute ignoring, quit wasting minutes.
"If" you say you trust the judgment of your members, let your members judge.
Let them vote. Yay or nay.
To drill or not drill?
Simple question. Again, from Washington, no answer.
A lot of outrage.
A lot of games.
A lot of nonsense.
