Oil Speculation

Ah, Obama is at it again. The evil oil speculators. He sounded like he was going to hang them all—especially since the oil industry’s now released most recent data shows an average profit of just over six percent. What a deal. Makes me want to go out and buy stock.

And then I realized. Right long with CEO, Tony Hayward, of BP, I’m also going to be on the giblet—somewhere on the Via Apia. Hanging in the hot sun. The only imaginable thing that could be possibly worse would be listening to Obama’s self aggrandizement. The reason: last summer, after winterizing my boat I filled it up to the rim (not with Brim) with premium plus gasoline. It takes a lot of octane to pull my ass out of the water. The price per gallon was $2.86. Now that summer is fast approaching, Obama’s lending Brazil’s oil industry a couple of billion to be their best customer, the absolute shutdown of the US’s oil industry in the gulf, and the arrogant refusal to break open, develop or drill anywhere in or close proximity to the contiguous states, ANWAR or the continental shelf off of California, Oregon or Washington; no wonder gas is the price it is—and it’s six bucks in Hawaii. Fortunately, you don’t need gas to surf.

Things are not going to change until the American people throw out the Washington apparchiks. And the chance of that happening is close to nil. Freedom is quickly being erased from this country’s mindset and it is because of the dumbing down of America, first through the schools, secondly, through the media and finally through the allocation from the government’s “goody basket” which are mere crumbs to the goodies the US gives away to the rest of the world. America—they, the government, who you elect, are taking from your right pocket and giving you back a miniscule percentage of what they take. They are also lending to the world our money which has no chance of being paid back, which profits the banks, and is guaranteed by us taxpayers if those loans go bad—and they will and do. It is only a matter of time. And that time is running ever shorter.

Wake up.
