One would think that, but like peanuts, you can't eat just one.

Oil companies don't get subsidies. They get the exact same tax credits as G.E., Apple, G.M. Chrysler, Ford, Take it from one industry, take it from all of them.

It may be easier for you to understand if you realized that everything obama does is to the detriment of this country. Remember, if obama wants it, it's bad for every American. Only those on the take and the totally uninformed side with our corrupt leader...
The good news, only a few more months before the Republicans toss the bum out and save the country.

So reading between the bluster there, you don't really have an explanation for your hypocrisy. You're against government interference in business...oh, except when it's in support of the conservative-favored oil industry. Ok then.

I was thinking the exact same thing reading this post. I guess it's clear to see there are still plenty of people living in a right wing fantasy land
