Oil executives have it bad. Every other week, it seems, they are being called up to Capitol Hill to testify as to why gas prices are so high when it is the idiots who called them to come are the real culprits. And now, John Hofmeister has told them just as much.
At some point, people are going to tell environmental whackos where to get off and insist the government lift some, if not all of the restrictions that have been placed on oil companies. Everything we drives uses gasoline. There's no getting around it. Even hybrids use petroleum products. Even the plastic bike helmets that the liberal whackos don so that they don't have to burn fossil fuels to get somewhere are made from petroleum! So why are we not being allowed to go get it?
Look at any other business and tell me one that has been told to produce something, but you can't get it here, can't explore there. If we did that to Congress the country would be in better shape, but other than that, not a single business could do well. And yet they are being charged as if what they are doing to make a living is crimminal. I, for one, am insulted on behalf of the oil companies.
That's why when John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil handed it to the judiciary committee this week, Dick Durbin and Charles Schumer should have been ashamed of themselves. But they won't be because they are politicians... actors... and they have no conscience. Their only contribution to society is to pretend to solve problems and then get paid for it... thus keeping them off unemployment. Personally, I would prefer they do the latter. Scumbags.
Let the oil companies do what they do best and let's start hauling the global warming hoaxsters into court and make them prove their case!
