Bush: Zero Tolerance for Profiteers, Price Gougers in N.O.

[unrepuke]

Except his buddies.

Gas $ skyrocketing; in Georgia @ $6 a gallon

N.O. cops taken off rescue, going after looters

:wtf: is going on?

1. His language during the speech yesterday was that he was releasing

from strategic reserves and "this should take the pressure off"...didn't mandate a damn thing

[Deep13]

2. More concerned about public seeing looters on TV ...

... than about rescuing people.

[niceypoo]

3. Unless they donate heavily to the GOP.......

4. Read your own subject line...

Zero tolerance for profiteers and price gougers in New Orleans. You have to be careful with these fuckers. Every word is carefully crafted. This simply says that Big Oil's profiteering and price gouging in the other 49 states will be just fine. Just don't do it in NO.

6. No point for price gouging in NO, all the people with any $$ left Sunday

Those left in the city can't buy anything anyway.

Now, here in the dry part of the nation, gouging is going on and nobody is shooting the evil doers.

[Jacobin]

10. exactly. It just shows how disconnected from reality Bush is

[unrepuke]

9. Uh...you got me there, Boss - actually I said N.O.,

The "news" didn't specify. I wasn't so careful crafting my post, Karl doesn't help me - too angry, typing too fast.:blush:

[DemNoir]

5. The exceptions

War profiteers

Oil company price gouging

[closeupready]

7. Profiteering/price gouging consistent w/Ayn Rand's vision of life

so I'm sort of surprised that any Republicans object. You know, law of supply and demand, survival of the fittest, etc. :puke:

8. President Asshole will let his oil buddies loot the american tax payer

...it's not just the gas station owners who are gouging americans.. it's the oil companies who've unecessarily inflated the price of oil in order to double and triple their profits of 4 years ago!!

when president clinton was in office, the price of gas was nearly 1/3 of what it is now. AWOL Bush has let his oil buddies run roughshod over working americans by pushing us to see how much we'll pay until we're all broke!!

where are the fucking price caps?? where are the fines to u.s. oil companies for looting the american people??

11. In my opinion

a major factor in this "zero tolerance" policy for looters is because the looters are of the wrong demographics to this fascist piece of shit in the White House.
