Bush Refuses To Demand Oil Corps To Forgo Some Profits During Emergency

[KittyWampus]

on Diane Sawyer's "exclusive" interview aka PR mop-up.

She says a conservative commentator suggested Oil Corps forgo up to 20% in their profits to deal with this emergency. (I'll give a wet kiss to anyone who identifies this commentator :* )

Bush says... he urges they send cash as volunteer donations to relief effort.

There you have it...

The relief effort is up to private citizens and federal government.

Corporate citizens in the Oil Industry, on the other hand, need not donate or sacrifice.

Please keep this kicked... it shines a spotlight on the greed.

Democrats MUST demand Oil Corps forgo 10% of their Corporate Profits!

2. The question on terrorism vs humanitarian response to tragedy...

and where the money goes...was "We will win the war on terror.." What an asshole...he just doesn't get it does he...stop the war...bring the service people home..they are needed right here and oh by the way..has there been an international outpouring of aid for our tsunami????? What's scarey is that the "leader" of the "free" world is an idiot.

3. creating even more demand

with the plantation pipeline shut down, fear has begun to take hold. since yesterday afternoon there has been a run on the pumps and prices here in flori-duh have shot up to $3 a gallon. you can smell the anxiety, see the panic beginning, as the hording begins. lines have begun to stretch into the streets. FUGWB.
