I can't get the title to all fit. I wanted to say "Some house Dems call for nationalizing oil refineries" I heard about it on tv today.

What does a press conference have to do with decisions? I'm pretty sure Minchy conference has no power to move the stock market one way or the other, but please feel free to counterpoint.

If you want to know why the whole thing is no longer available to the public maybe you should start with FOX news since they specifically did the press conference on this network with John Scott.

the whole thing is fully available in video and transcript form if you pay for it ( too spendy for me)


http://www.federalnewsservice.net/


all congressional press conferences are video taped and transcripted(how nice i think keeps people accountable)


again the dems called the press conference they asked the media to come


no they cant reair fox cause thats their video (they own the rights to that video its their money, imsure the others have but just arent airing it cause it doesnt suit them why?)


the other stations should have feed and if the others didnt show up tough luck thats money now

Proof please? Minchy has no power unless he has a constituency. And he doesn't. Now if it were Reid or Polosi...maybe, but they didn't say it or support it.

What is your job? and how am I naive? I'm a elected official, so I pretty savvy in the way of state and local politics. I am a spectator to the federal nonsense, though. So educate me.

So no one can provide anything showing the context of the purported proposal, all any of you can do is claim that it was on Fox....(which even the most conservative of you is well aware cuts and pastes to suit its viewing audience - about the only way you can seriously claim "you decide" as it pertains to actual news.)


Mom_faith provided the Congressman's proposal....nothing scary there -- unless suggesting the oil companies use the land they already lease is scary, and perhaps it is if you think you can wrestle more land away by not doing so.
