I can’t say I’m surprised by this. And if we get President Barry Obama, you can look forward to more such boneheaded moves.
House Democrats responded to President’s Bush’s call for Congress to lift the moratorium on offshore drilling. This was at an on-camera press conference fed back live.
Among other things, the Democrats called for the government to own refineries so it could better control the flow of the oil supply.

“We (the government) should own the refineries. Then we can control how much gets out into the market.”
Oh, yes. By all means, let’s have the government try to straighten out this mess. That would be the same government that hasn’t allowed a new oil refinery to be built in 30 years thereby restricting our capacity to get gasoline and home heating oil to market. We can have all the oil we need, but if it we don’t have the capability of refining it all, it is as good as useless.

BHO, Pelosi et al can just tell the refinery to send gas to the “good” states and not send it to the “bad” states.
It’s been known to happen.

I’m old enough to remember when Mossadegh nationalized the oil refineries and other oil related businesses in Iran in, I believe, 1950. – That’s when the Shah started his downward spin. I do not believe in natonalized refineries.
Of course, the Shah wasn’t exactly a good guy either.
The Israelis didn’t mind him.
Congress of America to Nationalize Oil, The American Republic
The Congress of America will have no choice but to pass laws to Nationalize the Oil industry in America or lose the game. Americans are suffering across America because of lack of control of the oil industry. Obama and McCain are too weak to correct this problem, thus a new Republic of America must takeover and fix the problems of America. Los Angeles, California will be the place that the new revolution in America began. Soon a formal announcement will be made informing the general public on what to do, and where to volunteer. America needs and will be fixed.

March for Nationalize of oil to be held in Los Angeles, California!
Nationalization of Natural Resources in North America, (OIL)
It is now time for the current US Congress to draft a law that will authorize the use of the Armed Forces of America to seize control of all Oil reserves, assets, and property within the borders of the United States of America. Americans are suffering financially because of the profiteering that is being sanctioned by the current Congress. The very survival of America will depend on the controls and relief to the consumer. By controlling the oil and refining process, the final price to the consumer can drop back to levels in the two digit margin, i.e. 39 cents. It is now a matter of National Security that this happen within a very short period of time, or every American will suffer the financial burden of out of control price per gallon for fuel, thus driving up every consumer product and service beyond the affordable means of an average income American.
The American Republic will recommend that the current US Congress and President be held accountable for this “crime against Humanity” as well as numerous others.
It is time to fire the US Congress and President, now and in November, 2008. A new Republic for North America is underway.
We are a Legion of many, who will live a life of peace, and have respect for all living things, while having considerations for those who are different, and look for ways to truly accommodate those who are slow in understanding.
We support the poor, helpless, and defenseless people. We support the freedom of Women, we support the sane treatment of animals and the environment, we support the freedom of religion and expression. We do not support ignorance, period.
We are a growing nation of people that encourage anyone or Nation anywhere to become part of the New American Republic!
