Maxine Waters(D-California)Threatens To Nationalize US Oil Industry (Vanity)

Just saw Maxine Waters trying to grill the oil company execs and end up falling flat on her well made-up face. She threatened to nationalize the oil industry, and admitted that she was a liberal and a socialist (shocking!) Shep Smith cut to the Fox reporter and asked how the remark about nationalization went with the execs. The reporter said that the chairman of Shell responded by comparing Maxine to Hugo Chavez. I'm loving it.

Theoretically government could “take” an oil company on the grounds of public good

In the case of Shell. specifically, all they could take is that companies assets which are subject to the jurisdiction of the US (refineries, pipelines, terminals, production fields, etc.) Royal Dutch Shell would continue to operate, as a company all of their assets located internationally. They then could "fire" all US employee's w/o compensation, except as may be allowed under Dutch law.

Maxine Waters is an idiot who has not thought this through.

Nasty Pelosi is also one to threaten to nationalize the oil industry, and not even bat and eye.
