Oil chiefs say high prices not our fault

“On April Fool’s Day, the biggest joke of all is being played on American families by Big Oil,” Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., said, aiming his remarks at the five executives sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in a congressional hearing room.

The biggest April Fool’s joke is the sham of an investigation that you and your colleagues are conducting in some lame attempt to show the lemmings that you really care…

Giving the lemmings false hope that you might even do something about the high cost of energy when you know you and Congress aren’t going to do anything at all.

Congress, critical of tax breaks, lays into oil execs

“Americans are hoping that the top executives from the five largest oil companies will tell us that these soaring gas prices are just part of some elaborate hoax,” said Ed Markey, D-Mass, chairman of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. “Unfortunately, it’s not a joke.”

Yes, it is a joke. Another in a long line of jokes on the American public that have unfolded during this administration’s tenure of destruction of the American way of life. And you, Mr. Markey, have been a part of it by your apathy.
