Sheila Jackson Lee on Houston Oil & Gas Industry
A couple weeks ago I took a lunch break and sat down in front of my TV. I picked up the remote and changed it to the Congressional Coverage Channel. Almost immediately (to my horror) Congress was allowing 5 minutes to Congressional members who had requested 5 minutes of time to present positions in a “freestyle” manner, and there was Sheila Jackson Lee taking a position behind the podium.
She is faced with quite a few issues right now, having placed herself in many adversarial positions. She spoke on several issues, but spent some time trying to clear herself from election year positions against the Houston Oil and Gas Industry.
It was pathetic, I almost choked on my lunch… There was Sheila Jackson Lee stating that (paraphrased): “Of course I support the Oil & Gas Industry, I do represent Houston”… LOL (Laughing Out Loud) she went on trying to justify her energy positions in a “fruit basket” analogy.
It was worse than sad… She described a scenario in which she views all energy choices stuffed in a fruit basket and some choices she likes better than others…
Surely those of us in the Oil & Gas Industry know by now that her “choices” in the “fruit basket” are not in line with her constituency, the Oil & Gas Industry or the immediate job creation that our industry offers Houston, nor the lifesaver we can help throw the nation in the short term right now, during dire economic times.
Why does Houston keep electing someone to Congress, for 14 years now, who doesn’t support her constituency, the oil & gas industry, the Port of Houston or job creation in Houston?
The “writing is on the wall”, it’s time to send her home to Queen’s, NY, she doesn’t understand or support Houston! A New York law firm will snap her up and we will all be much happier and prosper. She will make more money, and so will we, and we won’t even have to watch her on TV every day!
