Same old crap from this guy....demonize big oil...demonize big business...tax them more....well who does he think is going to pay for the additional taxes he charges the oil companies?????? US that who....and once again it's all about alternative energy....he's already spending a lot more taxpayer dollars to subsidize alternative energy when the vast majority of American do not use it....
Fossil Fuel creates jobs....virtually all of us use fossil fuels to fill our cars, heat our homes, etc..etc.... Does he just not get that???? Alternative Energy does not create many jobs...it's not sustainable today based on any business model...
Talk about out of touch....Obama is on another planet! And he must think we are really STUPID!
