i received this email making the rounds... We, the people, need to take out the garbage in November. Obama for offshore drilling in Brazil. This is a perfect example why many refrain from watching the news on ABC, NBC, CBS, or MSNBC. A segment of the "Glen Beck Show" on FOX (Fox Cable News) was the following: "Today, even though President Obama is against off shore drilling for our country, he signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayers dollars to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company (which is the 8th largest company in the entire world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil ! The oil that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China and NOT THE USA ! Now here's the real clincher...the Chinese government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is hundreds of millions of barrels of oil".. We have absolutely no gain from this transaction whatsoever! Wait, it gets more interesting. Guess who is the largest individual stockholder of this Brazilian Oil Company and who would benefit most from this? It is American BILLIONAIRE, George Soros, who was one of President Obama's most generous financial supporters during his campaign. So, here we see the secret deals that Obama is setting up for himself to become a $MultiMillionaire! When Sorosmakes $Billions off of this Obama secret deal, then he candonate $Millions to the Obama Campaign Fund, making him a MultiMillionaire!! This is a very corrupt man that we havein our White House, making these secret schemes to makehimself an unbelievably wealthy and corrupt man! If you are able to connect the dots and follow the money, you are probably as upset as I am. Not a word of this transaction was broadcast on any of the other news networks! Forward this factual e-mail to others who care about this country and where it is going. Also, let all of your Government representatives know how you feel about this. Below is the Wall street Journal article to confirm this. President Obama Finances Offshore Drilling in Brazil - WSJ.com
