oh, it's Faux News.

oh, it's Faux News.

What does that have anything to do with it? The video is perfectly real.

I'm attacking the source. Isn't that what a good little liberal is suppose to do?

[AZhitman]

Nice work! You can haz welfares nao.

[AZhitman]

BTW, she got pwned. That was AWESOME.

You guys out in CA actually elected her?

What a freakin' buffoon.

[szh]

The source of the statement was Maxine Waters herself. Are you attacking her?

Isn't that what a good little liberal is suppose to do?

Really? Where did you read that?

Apparently!

What a freakin' buffoon.

Yup. What was funnier was that she tried to correct her words. It would have been less stupid if she had just let it stand and moved on.

"socialize" and then "take over" ... we clearly know what she wants to do!

Again, like Pelosi, only a small liberal district out of the many here in California elected her.

Note, however, that her original question, will oil prices come down if we grant the companies free reign, was avoided by the chairman of Shell. He instead answered only with a threat of increased prices with inaction. He totally left open what will happen if they get free reign, namely that prices will go up anyway because demand worldwide is growing faster than remaining supply no matter where the source.

I noticed that too.

The fact is that he cannot predict the future anyway - free-market economies will do what they will. And, if the threat of "take over" hangs over his head, he will not care anyway.

...and that's the beautiful thing: That is his right.

Stop meddling in things that are best managed by the free market. And for God's sake, someone vote that moronic woman out of office.

Besides, she looks like "Wanda" from In Living Color

Yes, it's his right to avoid answering the question, which is exaactly what he did. And no one picked up on that fact in the committee or the press.

The law of supply and demand is ultimately the best way for things to work, but there are always a few instances where things get skewed and that law isn't allowed to work free of interference, or other factors come into play like possibly a morality issue. Outsourcing our military protection instead of allowing our military to grow to meet demand is one of them. I would rather depend on the Marines to protect me than Blackwater, and I want the Marines stronger than Blackwater, too.

Oil prices are one of those instances where the market should work freely.

[AZhitman]

Brilliantly-stated, Steve.

[szh]

The law of supply and demand is ultimately the best way ...

Oil prices are one of those instances where the market should work freely.

Yup! I think we are all agreed on both these points!

The exec also has no control on the penalizing activities that the Gov is trying to implement which would increase the price at the pump, as in Cap & Trade. The Gov can double taxes at the pump and the public will generally blame the business for the increase and not the Gov entity.

Very true!! Most people don't look at the tax information on each gallon of gas (used to be marked on a sticker at the pump - is it still there? Or did the government force it to be removed?), or care much about it.
