Palin gets it right

Which would make Obama wrong.  Again.

UPDATED - The Soros Connection

One of these people is an idiot

The Export-Import Bank has proposed a $2 billion loan to a Brazilian oil company to fund oil drilling and development by a state-owned company, hurting American workers, oil companies, and the country’s energy independence. Sarah Palin sees this is as a rather self-defeating strategy.

After the idea went public, Palin quickly noted that President Obama wants to use American dollars to pay salaries and benefits to Brazilians — to state-owned oil company, Petrobras, at that — to the detriment of our own country. (cont)
BUT WAIT! THIS JUST IN
Teapot Dome on Steroids?
Billionaire investor George Soros bought an $811 million stake in Petroleo Brasileiro SA in the second quarter, making the Brazilian state-controlled oil company his investment fund's largest holding.

There is another interesting aspect to this development. Could it be just a coincidence that Obama backer George Soros repositioned himself in Petrobras to get dividends just a few days before Obama committed $2 billion in loans and guarantees for Petrobras’ offshore operations?

I guess that The One is officially in cahoots with big oil. Not the pipsqueak, mom and pop operations that Bush and Cheney were accused of, but really Big Oil.
