Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) blasted President Obama Wednesday complaining about the administration’s energy policy, or lack thereof. Boehner complains that the Obama Administration has stifled the Keystone Pipeline, and delayed or cut back production in Alaska, on public land, and in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.

Congressman Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) continues to take the Republicans to task over what he has called their deceptions about Keystone and oil prices. Markey says there are no guarantees that any of the oil moved via Keystone to the Gulf Coast would stay in the United States. Markey offers an amendment to require the oil be sold in or to the U.S., but he says Republicans are balking at that.

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) tells us it’s not a question of “if” the pipeline is built, but “when.”
