Hearing our President scolding the leadership of Haliburton, Transocean, and BP brought a smile to my face I have to admit. In fact, I thought it was awesome.

The part you don't see is how much they contribute to his campaign and the Democrats.

It was all show for the proles.

I think Hockey is right on the money, but it is a good show.

"Whatever the correct citation total — five or six — the Deepwater Horizon's record was exemplary, according to MMS officials, who said the rig was never on inspectors' informal "watch list" for problem rigs. In fact, last year (2009) MMS awarded the rig an award for its safety history."

Hummm...Idi Amin Jr. was president last year, was he not?

Well Potts I guess it all makes sense now. Thanks for being the spotlight of genius that you are. Having your words of wisdom to point out the obvious to me makes Obama bitch-slapping those three companies so much less meaningful now....not!

Watching our black President scold those three honkies that represent everything that is wrong with our country and in fact world, on live TV was all I needed to have a great day.

Nothing deeper than that to me. Just liked it when I heard it.

Good to know that we have a post-racial president.

His idiotic zombie followers, on the other hand...

The BAD half, of course.

Yeah, again Potts is able to take a statement, and comment on it leaving the entire point of the comment to the wayside. What the heck are you talking about dude? Stay on subject, and stop sliding over to the nonsensical. Focus dude. Focus!

I would wager everything I own that these compaines donated to Obama's campaign and Obama knows it. This is nothing more than a dog and pony show to impress the lemmings......

That is all.......move along - there is nothing to see here........

That is how one purchases politicians. It doesn't really matter which ones....buy them all.

(Democrats are creaper to buy)

^ I'm sure they donate to many, many campaigns. Their job is to hedge their bets because they can't completely predict the outcome of an election. Therefore, they have to donate to everyone to ensure they don't alienate themselves to whomever is elected.

These companies aren't stupid - it's business, pure and simple and it makes good business sense to donate to all of them.

Seeing that I have to spell it all out for you - given that you are rather dim - is that the only one seeing race here is, well, you.

So that makes you a racist and an idiot.

Yes, I'm quite certain that Obama and those three big oil companies sat down and decided to put on a show for us.

3 CEO's pointing fingers and one President telling them to "knock it off, you look stupid!" What a great idea! I bet they all sat down and figured out just how stupid Obama could make them and still come out ahead, right?

Our President just smacked three companies that are destroying our planet, economy, and holding back our progress, but many of you have such hatred for the man that you are actually siding on the oil company's sides. This is rich.

Potts, stay on subject. This is not about me, it's about a comment that the President made, and I liked.

Do you need a special chair up by teachers desk so that we can keep a better eye on you? Coloring the pictures in the math book while everyone else is doing their problems is not learning.

^ Adroomi - I'm not siding at all (you're confused). I'm just merely pointing out how politics works. I don't believe we should be dependent on oil and I despise these companies for raising the prices and raking in record profits.

Still - This is a dog and pony show.......and it doesn't make me feel better and it will do nothing for the economy except make the lemmings THINK something will happen.

It's unfortunate, I know.......

Le Hockey Dad nails it again.

all just a big show. like Congress grilling Goldman......while taking gobs of $$ from them to get themselves re-elected...................all the while ignoring the Freddie and Fannie debacle.

De-elect all incumbents!

Adroomi,

President Obama gave you exactly what you wanted to see to validate your outrage.

Cheap oil and energy are the fuel that has made the USA what it is. The energy industry is protected by all administrations. It is under the Obama Cone of Protection.

Remeber the show trials with the refiners when gas was breaking $4? They were under the Bush Cone of Protection.

In a few years they'll all be under the Palin Cone of Protection and we'll put on shows for the proles.
