White House says no to special session of Congress
By Jackie Kucinich and Jared Allen
Posted: 08/04/08 01:32 PM [ET]

The White House has rejected calls from House Republicans that it convene a special session of Congress on energy, saying it wouldn’t make a difference.

“We don't have plans to call Congress into session -- it won't make a difference if Democratic leaders are unwilling to bring up a bill for an up-down vote,” said White House spokesman Tony Fratto.

He is wrong because it will make a difference even if it might just be a political move. If President Bush would have called Democrats back to Congress to debate and Nancy Pelosi does move to adjourn again, there is no doubt in my mind that the picture of her deciding to adjourn with all her Democratic friends will force voters to reconsider which party really wants to solve America's energy crisis. Of course Nancy Pelosi will not allow a vote, but it will great to see the Democrats actually abandon again without solving America's energy crisis. President Bush today showed that he is officially a lame duck president.

ELECTION 2008

Gazan brothers' illegal contributions listed in government election filings

JERUSALEM – Palestinian brothers inside the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip are listed in government election filings as having donated $29,521.54 to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign.

The donations would violate election laws, including prohibitions on receiving donations from foreigners and guidelines against accepting more than $2,300 from one individual during a single election, Bob Biersack, a spokesman for the Federal Election Commission, told WND in response to a query.

The contributions also raise numerous questions about the Obama campaign's lax online donation form, which apparently allows for the possibility of foreign contributions.

New Poll: McCain 47, Obama 46 when leaners are included

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows the race for the White House is tied with Barack Obama and John McCain each attracting 44% of the vote. However, when "leaners" are included, it’s McCain 47% and Obama 46%.

This is the first time McCain has enjoyed even a statistically insignificant advantage of any sort since Obama clinched the Democratic nomination on June 3 (see recent daily results). Tracking Polls are released at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time each day.

House Republicans go back on the floor Monday to talk gas prices

Continuing with their guerilla tactics from last week, House Republicans will be back on the floor Monday to talk gas prices, even though Congress is in recess, and they may stay there all week.

More than a dozen Republicans have already committed to make appearances, according to House GOP leadership aide, including National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Cole (Okla.).

Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) and Mike Pence (R-Ind.), who lead Friday's five-hour talkathon after the House shut down for the August recess, are also expected to be there, according to this aide.

Update - Neither  Boehner nor Blunt are expected to be in attendance at Monday's talkfest, and its unclear if they will show up at any point during the week, according to GOP leadership aides.

See I'm thoroughly enjoying what the Republican House is doing, but one thing that I have to ask and it is why is not the Republican so called leaders (John Boehner and Roy Blunt) going to be in attendance. They really should be there since they are the minority leader and minority whip. Also, if Republicans want to make this a bigger story, then all Republicans who support drilling and did not vote to adjourn should be protesting along with a true leader in the House Congressman Mike Pence of Indiana. Otherwise this is great for the Republican party. Finally some energy because they need it most right now. This is an issue most of America agrees with, but the Democrats still don't want to respect the people's opinions. I really hope now that the media knows ahead of time, they can send somebody to cover this story. When I say media, I know that the MSM won't do anything, but Fox News should at least cover the story. I hope for a successful day tomorrow and hopefully for the rest of the weeks to come. I wish I was in Washington right now, but I urge anybody near there to attend this great occasion. One other note, Mr. President you really have to use your constitutional authority now and call Congress into a special session. If you want to show Americans that you are serious about solving America's energy crisis, you have to force the Democrats to come back to work.
