Rep Mike Pence (R- Ind.), Chairman of the House Republican Conference and the American Energy Solutions Group, took to the floor to blast the Obama Administration for what he sees as the exploitation of the Gulf disaster to push through 'disastrous energy policies', specifically Cap and Trade, and 'working their liberal environmental agenda."
"The American people don't want this administration to exploit the disaster in the Gulf to advance their disastrous energy policies. America needs a new energy policy, but Cap and Trade won't cap that well. This administration should work the problem in the Gulf, instead of working their liberal environmental agenda."
