Obama "I think oil companies are amoral"

The Washington Post reports on Obama's views on oil companies:
what does Obama himself believe? "I think oil companies are amoral. They want to make as much money as they can for their shareholders, which is what corporations do," he says. "The difference is the nature of the kind of outsized profits they make that may have no relationship to their investments or their production. The fact, for example, [that] the shortage of refinery capacity could actually increase their profits so the less they invest the more they make indicates that you are not dealing with someone making widgets out there."
Have you ever heard Obama complain about the greed of Chicago Democrats that have looted the taxpayers?
