If I were President, I would....

....immediately nationalize all oil in the US and it's waters.

That oil would no longer be for sale anywhere except the US.

Don't care who drilled or who's pumping, they can be reimbursed for their costs.
The oil stays here, the money made from that oil goes to the US.


What would you do??

... I'd make "elchivito" the Secretary of De-Fens".

"aklim" would be appointed the minister- in - charge of handing out "downs".

I think that all countries should not allow oil to be sold outside of their borders - effective tomorrow.

That belongs in the 'King Of The World' thread....

It is a commodity, but it's one that so many people have died for that I definitely believe we should keep every drop of our own and lessen our hunger for oil from others.

Cupbearer to the king?
