"There is no problem that is not so bad that it cannot be made worse by Congress fixing it." --REBierce
The heads of U.S. oil companies completed the second stage of their Congressional Big-Oil-Bash-Athon yesterday by answering questions from largely-economically illiterate congressmen--and women.
Congress took time out from pandering in person to pander in front of the TV cameras. The big winner of the "Comrade Stalin" award was Maxine Waters, who threatened to nationalize (seize) the oil company's assets.
Apparently, Waters is committed to bring the same brand of efficiency to the oil companies that government has demonstrated at the Post Office and Social Security.

Waters doesn't remember the past: therefore, like the Flying Dutchmen, she's condemned to wander around in a haze, searching for a Congressional "fix".

If you thought our energy problems are serious now, just wait until the government gets their inept paws into processing and distribution.

Don’t worry, they will practice with Health Care.
There has been more than one Freeper over the last few days that have suggested that the government force oil companies to lower the price of their product.
Don’t worry, they will practice with Health Care.
The frustrating thing is the dhimmirat voters who vehemently deny that they support communism.
Be honest, dhimmis - you’re either a commie or ignorant if you pull the “D” lever in the booth.
What a great idea! She can do for America what Mugabe did for Zimbabwe. As bad as the oil situation is, she’s come up with the only solution that is absolutely guaranteed to make it worse!!
Maxine Waters was also expressing astonishment that there was trouble on the border. A GOOD candidate is challenging her. Help him out!

There’s a simple way congress could help with oil prices and I don’t think any Freeper would complain. If they stopped spending so much money the dollar might recover a bit of its value. Until Congress figures that one out I fear the effect of their “new solutions.”
Atlas is not just shrugging, he’s headed outta town on the first train........
I’m getting a Who is John Galt? bumper sticker.
Pitchforks and torches baby - that’s all they’ll listen to.
Ask Venezuela, Russia, Mexico, Nigeria, and all the other countries that nationalized their oil industries what it did to their output levels and exploration efficencies.
If it didn’t affect the majority,
I’d rather Marxine stayed there as the perfect example of the perfect dhimmirat.
Maxine also grows and rolls her own...don’t put too much stock in her statements...she can’t remember what she says most of the time anyway!
She can do for America what Mugabe did for Zimbabwe.
Yay! Billion dollars bills for everyone : )
Better make that “WHERE is John Galt!?!?”..........
I think the weave, wig or relaxer is short wiring her thought process and frying her brain. Standing on one or two brain cells?/Just Asking - seoul62........
If Obama wins, this harridan might just get her way...
Ted Hayes is an urban hustler in LA. Do some research (beyond just Hayes’ website)
Just goin' to get a Old English at the corner, be right back!.......
“Liberalism is just Communism sold by the drink.”

How about if we Drill ANWR, Florida, Conserve and Stop Cutting Interest Rates?
Will she go 360 degrees on this one also?
I am visualizing the movie: I’m going to get you sucker - when I hear her speak. She and Michelle Obama define clearly the angry, you owe me whitey - black woman, scary very scary. Trust them with the nuclear suitcase, I think not./Just Asking - seoul62.........
Hey she’s just part of the “progressive” wing of the rat party. What’s everyone so worked up about? The elephant in the room?
Every time I get depressed about McCain (ie. when I'm awake) I imagine Obama as CIC. That nightmare simply can't happen.
I use to think there had to be a certain amount of intelligence to be elected as a political leader to represent a group of people, but this waste of brain cells representative destroys that theory.
There are only two ways to allocate resources: the pricing mechanism of the market or the favor of the mighty. It’s very clear which method is advocated here.
Her and Hugo....
Rush played her sound byte today. She came right out and said that she wants to “socialize” the oil industry, but as soon as the “s” word was out of her mouth, she stopped...stammered, and the hem-hawed around before saying “government takeover.”
What a scary, ignorant, dangerous woman...
So she admits that she wants domestic oil delivery to be an abject failure?
For those that don't know, Maxine Waters, during a committee hearing on corporate mismangement and book cooking was attempting to say Solomon Smith Barney, but instead said Solomon Barney Frank.
“Ted Hayes is an urban hustler in LA. Do some research (beyond just Hayes’ website)”
How isn’t that still an improvement on Comrade Waters?
Was the Maxine, or was that Obama’s wife? I think they both have the same Socialist views.
“I’m getting a Who is John Galt? bumper sticker.”
Unfortunately, most of the people at whom your bumpersticker is aimed at wouldn’t get it.
That is like dropping a lot of bad acid and waking up to find a naked Helen Thomas, Hillary Clinton, Susan Estrich, Al Franken and Dennis Kuchinich in bed with you jabbing on and on. Oy Vey, the horror, the thought. Can we say.....STOP I WANT TO GET OFF....../Just Asking - seoul62.......
That is quite a picture! Is it real or is it photoshopped?
That’s definitely a Depends moment.
I had a Who is John Galt? bumper sticker on the car about 12 years ago and I got quite a few “Thumbs Up”.
Most people are dumber than rocks. It is very frustrating. They only wake up when the boot is up their you know whats.
*** GALT/DAGNY ‘08 ***
Well I, uh, I’m not sure how you pronounce it or anything, but I, uh, believe it’s “Menage a twits”.
I will take note of that, thank you./Just Asking - seoul62.........
Poor d00d. Looks like he only has enough for the 22oz of Old E instead of the 40.
Are you talking about his homeless activism?
Stop repeating yourself and make your point with some facts, mr...’research99’.
And the Founding Fathers spin!
How can someone this stupid get into office? Oh...that’s right...her constituents must be equally stupid.
A thief meets a holy man and sees only his purse.
A Congressman meets a problem and sees only a legistlated solution.
“*** GALT/DAGNY ‘08 ***”
Right on!
