I almost busted out loud laughing about the irony of this statement from Obama:
RENO, Nev. (AP) - President Barack Obama said Thursday that the Justice Department will try to "root out" cases of fraud or manipulation in oil markets, even as Attorney General Eric Holder suggested a variety of legal reasons may be behind gasoline's surge to $4 a gallon.
"We are going to make sure that no one is taking advantage of the American people for their own short-term gain," Obama said at a town-hall style meeting at a renewable energy plant in Reno. Obama says new task force will examine gas prices
Course the funny thing about it is the White House is who's taking advantage of this for the long haul. He's been talking about the advantages of higher prices. Now he's really going to do something about it.
As usual the focus will be on rich speculators and traders, so Obama is taking advantage of this and eventually he'll be talking his usual class-warfare crap.
I guess I don't understand. I thought "business people" were "Gawds" who "trickle down" on us common folk. That government should stay out of the market. And now Republicans are crying to big government to protect them for "big, bad companies"? You can't have it both ways. It's almost like right wingers screaming, "Keep government hands OFF my Medicare", as if they would ever say that. Yea, as if.
Shut the fuck up. You take what Obama said and blame it on us.
Obama is the a-hole who's telling us we need a massive government to protect us the "big, bad companies".
Jesus you're stupid.
