Maxine “Chavez” Waters - Socialize Oil INdustry

Congresswoman threatens to nationalize oil industry
Maxine Waters warns Shell president in House committee hearing

In a grilling of oil executives by a House panel yesterday, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., threatened to nationalize the industry if it didn’t do something about the rising prices at the pump.

A report by Fox News, captured in a clip posted on YouTube.com, showed Waters challenging the president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister, to guarantee the prices consumers pay will go down if the oil companies are allowed to drill wherever they want off of U.S. shores.

Waters responded, in part, “And guess what this liberal would be all about. This liberal will be about socializing … uh, um. …”

The congresswoman paused to collect her thoughts.

“Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies. …”

Madame Hillary has spoken in the past of controlling oil industry profits. Obama sees the oil industry as the enemy, not OPEC and certainly not Congress.

What happens if gas prices hit $5.00 or more per gallon, will enough Americans see the Waters “Chavez Legislation” of the federal government taking control of this key industry as a good idea? I wonder!

Go ahead and say it! You are a SOCIALIST! What a sick pathetic person Maxine Waters is! Yuck!

I posted on this earlier.  Yes, a socialist at best, communist most likely.


Communism is evil

Really, after the shock of hearing Ms. Waters’ blatant threat wears off a little, isn’t this little episode the epitome of democrat thinking?  Ignorant, confused, inexpert, fascistic & everything we as a people would once have uniformly condemned?  How sad that we are repeating some of our biggest errors of the 20th century to start the 21st.

I posted this even earlier.  It’s right up there with Hillary saying: “I want to take those(oil company) profits, and use them for the common good.” Pure Marxism.


Hope and change, in a free world, are the private possessions of motivated individuals.

Hillary should “TAKE” her Own Profits and use them for her Socialist programs. Instead she tries to find all kinds of tax deductions on her Own tax returns! Liberals talk tax as long as it is not their OWN. Look at Al Franken and Al Sharpton for example.

So Maxine Waters and her Socialist cronies want to run big oil.  Does anyone remember 1980s, and those famous Pentagon hammers and toilet seats that cost nearly 1,000 dollars each?

Can you imagine what our government would be willing to pay a contractor, to have a well drilled?  Utilizing some new start-up HUB Vendor (Historically Underutilized Business) that was run by a person fitting a certain profile, never mind that he/she didn’t know “buffalo crap” from “wild honey” about drilling an oil well.

Today’s gasoline prices would be an absolute bargain, compared to what Uncle Sam would have to charge.

I remember and agree with Eddie Chiles when he said, “All I want my Government to do is to defend our shores, deliver my mail and leave me alone”.

Ms. Waters, if I want you’re help, I’ll whistle.

That reminds me of something I saw the other day. Someone had defaced some property in a National Park with graffiti. They said it was going to take thousands of dollars to clean it off. I could have cleaned it off for much less. It looked like a pressure washer could have done the job easy! Maxine Waters is such a commie, Socialist. She and Hugo Chavez are probably in cahoots?

Several people have wondered how someone in a position of power could utter such nonsense, in public, and it got no press or air time other than Fox News. Hmmm, I wonder if the mainstream media would be as mute, if Maxine Waters had suggested “socia… oops” nationalizing the newspapers, network and cable television, etc.

Exactly!!!! She needs to retire. Maxine Waters needs to go to a nice Govt. retirement home.
