Obama on Gas Prices and Oil Subsidies (DU needs to mediablast this now)



Oil "companies are making record profits right now -- tens of billions of dollars a year. Every time you go to the gas tank or fill up your gas tank, they’re making money. Every time. Now, does anyone really think that Congress should give them another $4 billion this year? Of course not. It’s outrageous. It’s inexcusable. And I am asking Congress -- eliminate this oil industry giveaway right away. I want them to vote on this in the next few weeks." President Obama, March 01, 2012.

Why the big rush to do something about it now?
