Olbermann : Ogilvy helped cause high gas prices

June 19, 2008

Keith Olbermann from MSNBC provides evidence that Ogilvy is causing higher gas prices by its lobbying to keep the ‘Enron Loophole’ alive… a literally black hole in regulation that was put in place to protect Enron when they were so powerful as to shut down California’s electrical network for days… now every speculator on earth is taking advantage of this loophole.

Where does Ogilvy have it’s hand in this? The New York Mercantile Exchange, the Source for closing prices on metals and petroleum futures and options hired Ogilvy to lobby Washington to keep gas prices high.. Think we are kidding? Watch the MSNBC video yourself. We took a wonderful screen shot of it for your enjoyment. Thanks Ogilvy … we will try to remember this each time we fill up at $4.25 a gallon. (story continues after the screen shot)

We were lucky enough to capture the screen shot in its full glory. This is amazing.. simply amazing.. As Ogilvy lobbied to force a recession by high gas prices, but then lays off staff due to high gas prices and the recession. This has to take the cake.

You people are amazing.. just amazing… you have departments willing to screw over their own company and the country for a contract.

    there’s nothing new about higher gas prices as it always been an issue ever since. And we are all affected! better alternatives is to use electric or hybrid vehicles with fuel saving additives than the fuel-dependent ones.
