It was exceptionally amusing to watch the news last night. They showed clips of Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) and Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) insisting that that Big Oil is sitting on huge deposits of unextracted oil "waiting for the price to go up so then can make bigger profits." (Hinchey's the guy who proposed nationalizing the oil refineries.)
They had a few oil industry experts on afterward, and you could see them barely able to not laugh at the very notion.
To the Dems on the board: if you're leaders are going to continue to attack the oil industry, at least find some mouthpieces who don't sound like complete idiots.
