Yeah, how dare those evil oil companies who produce a product we all need get money from the federal government.
President Obama lashed out at oil companies — and the tax breaks they get from the government — for a second consecutive day on Thursday and again in Saturday's address.
“Four billion dollars of your money are going to these companies at a time when they’re making record profits and you’re paying near record prices at the pump,” the president said at a Nevada town hall. “It has to stop.”
Funny, but he didn't have such objections when the criminal enterprise known as ACORN was given $3 billion in his stimulus scam two years ago.
At least $53 million in federal funds have gone to ACORN activists since 1994, and the controversial group could get up to $8.5 billion more tax dollars despite being under investigation for voter registration fraud in a dozen states.
The economic stimulus bill enacted in February contains $3 billion that the non-profit activist group known more formally as the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now could receive, and 2010 federal budget contains another $5.5 billion that could also find its way into the group’s coffers.
An Examiner review of federal spending data found that ACORN has received at least $53 million in federal money since 1994.
So glad to see the media point out his hypocrisy. Oh, nobody has?
Lets not forget the $2 billion to Brazil for Petrobras.
DEFLECTION ALERT...man up you little weasel ...its your anti business policies that are causing this....
Take the Federal Tax off for the summer or else the economy will tank.
How many Billion$ so we waste on Ethanol??
Pray for America
How about we end all subsidies and bailouts for every corporation.
How about no subsidies PERIOD?
That sounds too logical.
This man is a lunatic.

Oil...ACORN...both really crude.
