Maxine Waters(D-California)Threatens To Nationalize US Oil Industry (Vanity)
Me (from watching FNC) ^ | May 22, 2008 | Me

Posted on 05/22/2008 4:23:21 PM PDT by buccaneer81

Just saw Maxine Waters trying to grill the oil company execs and end up falling flat on her well made-up face. She threatened to nationalize the oil industry, and admitted that she was a liberal and a socialist (shocking!) Shep Smith cut to the Fox reporter and asked how the remark about nationalization went with the execs. The reporter said that the chairman of Shell responded by comparing Maxine to Hugo Chavez. I'm loving it.

I think it would be of great interest to have a beauty contest between Max ine Waters and Hu go Chavez. Except that I doubt there could be a winner.

Made up face, for sure. But not well made up. She's (almost) in Helen Thomas' league as far as fright faces are concerned.

When I saw the title my first thought was Hugo and Maxine but she’s too stupid for even Hugo to pay any attention to.

Did she actually say she was a socialist? Was that an exact quote?
Is there a video or transcript of that anywhere? If anyone has this please let me know.

That was hilarious! Did you notice the man and woman to the left of her? They were ready to lose it.

Did Maxine actually use the word socialist in open session, or is that your take on it? I just want to know if they’ve decided they can admit to it publicly now.

If he flirted with Mother Sheehan I suspect he would find time for Maxine.

Next they’ll have the young “pioneers” marching out into the fields to plant corn to be made into ethanol.

Also, did the Shell exec compare her to Chavez in those words publicly?

She threatened to nationalize the oil industry

If the sweep predicted by the DNC takes place, Big Oil, Health Care (including pharmaceuticals), Bankrupt Airlines, Railroads and Energy will be in the forefront of the nationalizations after the economy collapses. First will come the increase in taxes, including wide ranging "excess profits taxes".

the chairman of Shell....

She wants to nationlize Shell? Is this even possible?

Sounds like Maxine did not investigate Shell very well. She should have at least looked at their website.

I saw the same report and immediately came to FR to see if anyone else was as amazed as I was. I just stood staring at the screen with my mouth open for several minutes. Talk about showing your true colors in High Definition.

Oh, yeah. She said, "Well this liberal will be all about socializing, uh, uh, ....(she can't think of the word 'nationalize') taking over, and the government running all of your companies!"
