"Senator plans to fight potential sale of beer icon" by Associated Press | June 18, 2008
WASHINGTON - Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill offered a Bud Lite and a smile to InBev chief executive Carlos Brito yesterday, while telling him she would do everything she could to stop his company from buying Anheuser-Busch Cos.
Brito requested the meeting with the Democratic lawmaker and other members of Missouri's delegation to reassure them about his company's proposal to buy the St. Louis-based beer giant.
"They basically came to try to get me on board, so to speak," McCaskill told reporters after the half-hour meeting in her Capitol Hill office. "I said, 'Not going to happen.' "
InBev, the maker of Beck's and Stella Artois beers, offered last week to buy Anheuser-Busch for roughly $46 billion. Anheuser-Busch has not yet officially responded to the offer.
But McCaskill and other lawmakers from Missouri have been blunt about their opposition to the foreign sale of a company that has been an icon in St. Louis for more than 100 years.
"This is not a company that's not successful," McCaskill said. "This is not a company that's in stress. This is a company that's been profitable year in and year out and has provided good middle-class jobs in America. It feels like to too many people in our country right now that these are the kinds of jobs that are going away."
Brito, who called the meeting with McCaskill "very, very helpful," said he came to Washington to talk about "how excited we are about our proposed business combination."
"What we're proposing basically is really to take an American brand, so successful as Budweiser, and unleashing that to the world via our distribution system," Brito said. "I think St. Louis and the people there will be even prouder when that happens."
Brito dismissed concerns about possible job losses, saying his company's recent history has been to add jobs as the business expands.
The offer amounts to $65 per-share, a rich premium to the company's stock price of $58.35 last Wednesday before the offer was made public.
He also pledged not to change Anheuser-Busch or its culture.
"The business and the brand were built on things that are there to stay," Brito said. "The Clydesdales, the St. Louis heritage, the museum, the farm, the brand, the recipe, the care, the quality - these things are part of the business. Nobody in his right state of mind would change any of those things, because that's why the business is successful in the US."
Asked what specifically she could do to stop the sale, McCaskill said she wasn't sure yet. McCaskill said she could not exert pressure on the board of directors at Anheuser-Busch, but she suggested the board should consider more than just profits.
Brito was set to meet today with Missouri's senior senator, Republican Kit Bond. He has also expressed opposition to the proposed sale."They sure know what is important, huh, readers?
One wonders where they all were/are as the jobs have been shipped out of this country.
Oh, that's right, these pukes are all for NAFTA and GATT and the Globalist Order.
Here's the Senate blowing more hot fart mist:
"Senators want complaint filed against OPEC; 8 nations cited over WTO rules" by Associated Press | June 18, 2008
WASHINGTON - Eleven senators called on the Bush administration yesterday to file a complaint with the World Trade Organization against eight members of the OPEC oil cartel, saying they are violating trade rules by colluding to hold down global oil supplies.
It's the DROPPING DOLLAR, DIPS!!!
The senators maintained "the very existence of OPEC" violates international agreements that prohibit nations from setting quotas or imposing other restrictions on exports.
"The refusal of OPEC nations who are members of the WTO to play by these rules is inexcusable, and they must be held accountable," said the senators in a letter to US Trade Representative Susan Schwab.
I guess that means WAR, huh?
The group, led by Frank Lautenberg, Democrat of New Jersey, said the White House should direct Schwab to file a complaint with the WTO. Schwab's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the senators' letter....
And how about the OIL CARTELS that are RAKING DOWN RECORD PROFITS?
Where are THEY fitting into the mix?!
Oh, they bought you all off, I see!
Pfffffffffttt!
The OPEC countries argue that market speculation and the declining value of the dollar have caused the high prices.... Members of Congress increasingly have targeted the cartel for criticism as they look for ways to respond to public anger over $4 a gallon gasoline."
Yeah, it's called a DIVERSIONARY SHIT SMOOTHIE that just so happens to ADVANCE the ZIONIST/GLOBALIST AGENDA, too!
Imagine that!
