That's because low wage workers are lazy and want the hand-outs Osama is promising. Want better pay? Get an education or a real job.

Shame on you, we utilize alot of low-income workers, at our offshore rigs. They enjoy the $2.50 an hour, they earn. We also give them free meals, and a cot to sleep on. After six months they are ALLOWED A 72 HOUR SHORE LEAVE,

I don't see what you are trying to gain by such a lie.
Offshore drillers make close to $50.00 per hour 24/7.
They are rotated every two weeks to spend time with their families.
That being said....If Hussien Obama had said what you did...His puppets and fainting culitsts would readily believe it.
...It depends on who tells the lie.

I can assure you, after 35 years in the business, that there are no low wage jobs in the Offshore Oil Industry. Almost all jobs pay more than $75,000/Annual plus full medical, dental and schooling opportunities. The food is the equivalent of what you get at a very good restaurant and meals are served four times per day. The lodging is the equivalent of a good motel with Service workers that clean and change linen daily.There is an excersize and weights room, Lounge, free internet service, and virtually every cable channel available. Due to the level of technology in modern drilling machinery, there are very few jobs available that do not require a minimum of an Associates Degree. In all cases, workers are checked for Drug use to provide a safe environment and all workers must possess a Transportation Workers Identity Card from the Department of Homeland Security, thus nullifying the ability of Illegals and Criminals to find a safe haven Offshore.
