Okay the president wants to demonize.

Big oil.

A lot of this stuff and we're -- -- we're investing in cleaner.

To hear him talk about the oil companies you think that they sit around in dark rooms plotting how to make our lives miserable.

And -- -- wreaking Havoc on our economy.

I'm not sure who big oil is.

Maybe somewhere there's little oil was well.

The Obama campaign accuses Mitt Romney of being in of the tank for big oil.

You know -- have seen the tank but I guess it must be a tank of gasoline and might have been around it and I never call detecting the smell of gasoline or oil.

Ought to be clear I don't own stock in an oil company and I'm not in the tank for them.

But let me help President Obama with some facts about his favorite doubles big oil.

Oil companies keep less than seven cents on each dollar they earned.

President Obama loves Google but they keep 22 cents out of each dollar they make.

Their profits are up 61%.

From last year Apple Computer hey that's one of my favorite companies I love their products and their service.

And they keep about twenty cents out of each dollars well their profits are up 50%.

Mr.

President.

Are we gonna hear you -- big search engines are Big Apple anytime soon drug companies keep 22 cents of a dollar.

Does the president know that the federal government gets more than double in taxes on a gallon of gas in the oil companies keep.

But I care less about how much oil companies make and how much it's costing me to get their products that -- my car.

Make the plastics that I use every moment of the day.

And bring all the products to me that I use.

But this week we found out that high prices aren't an accident.

And EPA administrator made a speech did realize somebody was taping and he had this to say.

-- -- -- -- -- -- Clear look I know everybody has heard that little clip before.

And now we have a better inside and how this government bureaucrat feels that his job is that an executioner to legal businesses that -- unlike.

I somehow missed that in my civics classes.

I foolishly believe that the government was supposed to work for the people.

In fact I thought the term was public service.

Not public's -- and crucifixion.

Silly me.

In -- my first day as governor of Arkansas I had a photo placed in a reception area of the governor's office at the State Capitol.

It had a caption underneath it said our boss.

But my photo.

Didn't go in there that day.

And for ten and a half years my likeness was never in that -- each week or two we put the photo of an Arkansas citizen in that frame.

And I reminded our staff.

But the people who came to our office word -- in eruption or our intrusion.

They were our bosses.

And the only reason that we were prayer we worries because those folks where where they -- we worked for them.

They were our bosses.

Seems like some folks have forgotten that and I think it's their job to punish us you know bosses do have one power.

They can fire people who forget who they work far come November.

Maybe it's time -- some people.

Okay.
