I think what the OP's saying is that her reasons for blaming the REPUBLICAN President in 2007 ought to apply to the DEMOCRAT President in 2012.

Yes. I'm demonstrating the hypocrisy.
With Obama in the White House , Pelosi is blaming the speculators.
Apparently, Obama can do no wrong.

Well, when I am losing an argument and have nowhere but lies and outright fabrication left to defend MY position, I'll just call Pelosi or Reid. They're so good as making up their own set of facts from the thin air around us that they surely have a way out of anything imaginable by now.
With this kind of elementary school logic as their basis, there is absolutely nothing they can't explain way or blame away on others. Any parent knows how this works from spending years of dealing with it. It's as pathetic and sad to see from adults as I'd have imagined it would be.
Time for Adult supervision in Washington. The Children and old age adolescents have had it entirely too long and we have almost nothing left to work with.

Guys and Gals. Since 9/11 our price of gas has skyrocket. Just a decade ago I was enjoying .87 cent a gallon. We have also since that time witnessed the government pump trillions into the financial system.
Gas isn't going up. Our currency is going down. Don't let the bankers play switcheroo on you. Don't let the politicians get blamed for not implementing some program. Their job is to lie to the American people, point a finger at some problem, then get money to give to one of their buddies to fix the problem
With Obama in the White House, Pelosi is blaming the speculators.
“Independent reports confirm that speculators are driving up the cost of oil, hurting consumers and potentially damaging the economic recovery. Wall Street profiteering, not oil shortages, is the cause of the price spike. In fact, U.S. oil production is at its highest level since 2003, and millions of acres have been cleared for additional development.

Obama should have given the green light on the Keystone Pipeline.

I wonder how long it will take Obama to change his mind about the Keystone Pipeline?

What makes you think the keystone pipeline had anything to do with American energy independence? Ask yourself this simple question, why, would they need to build this pipeline right down to Texas in the Mexican gulf, right next to the ports, if keystone was supposedly meant to provide energy to the United States? Answer is, it wasn't. The keystone pipeline was to provide an avenue for Canadian producers to export to the east vai the Mexican gulf:

The best we could have hoped for the keystone pipeline was jobs, but even at that, it's questionable just howmany domestic jobs would have been provided.

In that video, Pelosi is blaming the Bush administration for their inaction to bring about a real solution to the energy crises. She argues that all this effort giving oil corporations incentives and subsidies has done nothing to solve the high prices of fuel and that there needs to be a real Federal movement to invest towards alternative energies.
Eurisko, do you think the Obama administration holds a relatively similar energy policy to the Bush administration? Because this will answer your question as to whether Pelosi is being hypocritical of her position today.

Think with me.
We would rather get our oil from our friend Canada then the volatile middle east.
Even the diehard democrats admitted the Keystone Pipeline would create 20,000 jobs.
Transcanada (TRP), the energy giant bidding to build the pipeline, projects the undertaking would create 20,000 jobs in the U.S., including 13,000 positions in construction and 7,000 in manufacturing.
That figure, based on a report by a consulting firm hired by Transcanada to assess the project's economic impact, has been widely cited by Keystone backers on Capitol Hill. Other estimates advanced by supporters of the pipeline have been even more optimistic, with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce claiming it could create 250,000 permanent U.S. jobs.
Obama denies Keystone XL permit
Official: White House to nix US-Canada pipeline
Transcanada: New route for pipeline nearly done
But subsequent analysis suggests that Keystone's job-creating potential is more modest. The U.S. State Department calculated last year that the underground pipeline would add 5,000 to 6,000 U.S. jobs. One independent review of Keystone puts that number even lower, with the Cornell University Global Labor Institute finding that the pipeline would add only 500 to 1,400 temporary construction jobs.
