When will congress learn?

So, congress is having oil execs on the hill again. I wish that I could be one of the "Big Oil" guys there. I would probably be held in contempt of congress or something, but it'd go a little something like this:
"So you guys want to know why oil and gas prices are so high? Well because of your policies, we have lost 50% of our refining capacity in the last 25 years. Demand keeps rising and we can only put out half the gas we did in 1982. China and India keep using more and more of the oil that is on the global market, and you will not let us get our own oil. So as prices rise on the global market, in line with demand, prices rise here as well. Oil is traded on the dollar and you guys have killed the dollar, so oil goes up. By the way, China has signed leases to drill 60 miles from Florida. We have huge oil deposits in Alaska, California, Florida and many western states, but we can't touch it! You have made the Polar Bear a threatened species, so it will kill the gas and oil industry there. You are talking about stealing our money, did I mention we paid a record amount of taxes this year? Did I also mention that we DO NOT set the prices, investors and speculators do. So in summation, the reason that food, energy, and gas are so expensive are because of................. politicians!"
Then they would take me to jail. But it would be all worth it.

Obama

Is it not clear by now that Obama is not fit to be President. From clinging to guns to the latest statement about needing permission from other countries before I drive my car or feed my family. I'm not even going to go into the foreign relations stuff that spews out of his mouth. This guy will destroy the United States. I don't just mean the good old USA of the good ole boys, I mean the country will darn near be wiped off the map.
