Default Maxine Water's comments today!

Today, for some unknown reason, Democrats in the House were blaming Americans for the price of oil.
Fox news showed a video clip of Maxine Waters telling these Oil Company executives "If you do not do something about the cost of gas, we will socialize..........a long pause (two other Reps started cracking up and hiding)....take over the oil industry. This tells me Democrats and OPEC are responsible for these "mysterious" high oil prices.

This is exactly what Hillary and Obama have been talking about before this huge spike in oil costs.

Democrats will screw it up and then call for them to take over and steal the profits. Democrats are the "true" enemy of the American people.

Americans wants change!

Well, I do agree that the Democrats are off base. Waters should have been hammering the oil execs on why they haven't doubled oil output in Texas. She should have said "the law of supply and demand means that domestic oil output should increase when the price rises, but the oil output from Texas is lower today than when the price was $3 a barrel. Only by monopoly collusion can Texas oil production be less today than in 1960. The higher price certainly spurs innovation so you can increase oil production dramatically."

What happens when the words "oil exploration", is used in front of the Idiot Liberal Dems? We get immediate screams of outrage and condemnation thrown about. Followed immediately by instant denial...

This link will show you how domestic oil production has increased, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Liberals are protected by the media when they fight to stop all domestic oil production.
