Exxon Mobil posts record profits

Exxon Mobil posts record profits
Broke their own 2006 record for profits.
GEE I WONDER ******* WHY.
How much of that goes right back to Bush in little secret accounts?
Biggest joke on the American public ever! If someone who wasnt best friends with the oil companies was president there would be a congressional investigation into this. But instead Bush distracts the American public by a bandaid income tax relief bill. Put the ******* gas prices where they should be and maybe people could afford to travel and spend money or buy product and not take in in the *** on freight costs.
Lets look at the reality of the good ole boy in the white house after his fixed election in the first place. Let us down by allowing 9/11 and the Katrina disasters. Feds new about it, they needed it to happen in order to pass bills and take tighter control. Think about it. They new who the men were and what they were doing and it didnt occur to them that they would use a plane as weapon?
It called planned obsolesence. Let if happen so you can fix it.
How many ******* days till federal aid arrived in New Orleans??? Should have been there next day. These things define Bush. Liar to the American people, not there when he was needed most, helped the oil companies to post record profits every quarter they report.
Not looking for an open debate with anyone, you cant debate or deny facts.
Thats my political rant for the year. I know where most of you stand. Tell me you appreciate paying $3/gal so Bush's cronies can become billionaires. I dare you to justify the profit gouging that goes un-checked.
Nixon stole campain secrets and was impeached.
Clinton got a BJ and was crucified
Bush got re-elected. How many Americans or people in general have died under his watch? Military or not. Wake the **** up people.
Sorry guys nothing personal we have our own views, I just really hate hearing about Oil company record profits. I'll have a drink with anyone of ya and not think twice about it.

If you are going to present your arguments as facts, then you'd better get them right.
Oil companies didn't make their record profits from gasoline sales at the pump. Their margins for refined gasoline have actually decreased over the years. They make money because they have an asset called crude oil and the cost to produce that has stayed the same, but the world market for crude oil has shot through the roof. With China consuming huge quantities more than they used to, it costs more to buy. It's called supply and demand.

You have a nice blind republican eye there. You sound just like a politician man.
You know as well as I do there is more fact in what I stated than what you will give credit for. You can wash it all how ever you want but the facts remain.
Dropping simple life supplies has nothing to do with knowing where every school bus is.
In fact your contradicting yourself (sort of). This regime has done nothing but step on the constitution and limit the rights of the peope. Make illegal wire taps legal, email searches and yet you say you dont want them knowing where the buses are but you support them
Honely you are much smarter than I am and I know that but how do you fall for the whitewash? Its your republican colored glasses thats how. Not trying to insult you, honestly, we could be sitting side by side right now, it might get heated but it would never be in a bad way. I'd get the next round.
I understand about supply and demand but we are paying top dollar and Exxon mobil is banking that top dollar. I wont deny Clinton made money from the office, every president does. Its just this one is ******* us completely about it. I didnt vote for Clinton either but I was ammazed at the furver at wich the republicans went about doing what ever they could to attack him. They had a plan and needed their guy back in there. This isnt me making things up here, this is a broad view of the way it is.
I'm not blind, might not be articulate when I speak but I'm not stupid either. Go ahead and pretend it doesnt exist if thats what makes you sleep at night but I'm not going to pretend Bush was good for this country. There ate literally houndreds of thousands of lives changed for ever in a bad way. Thats his legacy.
Heres something that will keep you awake though. Obama and Clinton will be in the White House. This country has had enough of the republican regime and will try something different. Always happens. Republicans make themselves look bad and the country elects a democrat just for the change. Might even be a good one.
Here is another thing. The minute Obama takes office the republicans will attack and not let him get anything done and then say he was useless. Tell me I'm wrong there too.

Wow. I guess someone wants to live ina permanent state of paranoia with big brother controlling everything we do. Not me I'll continue to serve this great nation of ours and live free and content in the knowledge that I took part in something bigger than all of us. You have your opinions and are entitled to them but since my job is being a soldier I'll keep to the facts.
I'm a true patriot of this country. I grew up where it all began and the one thing we learned was to not turn a blind eye to authority. That the consitution was paid for with blood. It would be disrespectful to our fore fathers to not hold our leaders acountable.

I have nothing but respect and have stated that plenty of times for our service people and thier families. They make the ultimate sacrifice and have my ultimate respect for it. I did not say anything about the war did I? You peeps have your job to do and do it well.

I can understand where your coming from.
But you seem to have the fear issue. You shouldnt have to live in fear that someone will take out a black president and woman vice pres. I dont. I think it's about time this country moved foward with a new line of thinking. That doesnt mean weaker defense either.
Do you know in Haiti the poor eat cookies made from mud. It does have some nutritional value. Wonder how much it would cost us to feed them and what kind of response we would get from the rest of the world. It's a tiny country. Would be drop in the bucket for us. But what is to gain from that? Ever wonder why people around the world really hate us? We could use our might for more than military intervention to do good is all I'm saying.

I offer the following as an example of what I mean.
In a question-and-answer session afterwards (during which the phrase "empire building" was never mentioned, incidentally), the secretary of state was asked by former Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey if he felt the U.S and its allies had given due consideration to the use of "soft power" — promulgating moral and democratic values as a means of achieving progress towards international peace and stability, basically — versus the "hard power" of military force.
Here, in part, is how Colin Powell actually responded to Carey's question:
There is nothing in American experience or in American political life or in our culture that suggests we want to use hard power. But what we have found over the decades is that unless you do have hard power — and here I think you're referring to military power — then sometimes you are faced with situations that you can't deal with.
I mean, it was not soft power that freed Europe. It was hard power. And what followed immediately after hard power? Did the United States ask for dominion over a single nation in Europe? No. Soft power came in the Marshall Plan. Soft power came with American GIs who put their weapons down once the war was over and helped all those nations rebuild. We did the same thing in Japan.
So our record of living our values and letting our values be an inspiration to others I think is clear. And I don't think I have anything to be ashamed of or apologize for with respect to what America has done for the world. [Applause.]
We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we’ve done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in, and otherwise we have returned home to seek our own, you know, to seek our own lives in peace, to live our own lives in peace. But there comes a time when soft power or talking with evil will not work where, unfortunately, hard power is the only thing that works.
It wasn't the first time Colin Powell had used the figure of speech. During an "MTV Global Discussion" on February 14, 2002, he was asked how he felt representing a country commonly perceived as "the Satan of contemporary politics." Here is the relevant part of his reply:
[F]ar from being the Great Satan, I would say that we are the Great Protector. We have sent men and women from the armed forces of the United States to other parts of the world throughout the past century to put down oppression. We defeated Fascism. We defeated Communism. We saved Europe in World War I and World War II. We were willing to do it, glad to do it. We went to Korea. We went to Vietnam. All in the interest of preserving the rights of people.
And when all those conflicts were over, what did we do? Did we stay and conquer? Did we say, "Okay, we defeated Germany. Now Germany belongs to us? We defeated Japan, so Japan belongs to us"? No. What did we do? We built them up. We gave them democratic systems which they have embraced totally to their soul. And did we ask for any land? No, the only land we ever asked for was enough land to bury our dead. And that is the kind of nation we are.

not to change the subject or anything but has anyone check out how much of the gas price is tax???? here the tree hugger state of washington i believe its around 40 cent per gallon. i do believe that it is harder for Bush whos money is from the oil fields in Texas to cut oil prices. but i fear for this country if we let Osama and Hillary get in power. remember this its the muslims that bombed our towers, its the muslims who are the primary issues in the world when it comes to suicide bombing and their religious beliefs are contrary to the American people, i dont want one running our country. i may sound like im paranoid but history speaks for its self and what these people stand for.

all muslims read and go by the coran and if you read into that book you will see that it states any other religion other than muslim should be killed. they are made martyrs if they take another life in the name of alla so dont preach to me about that they all arent bad. hitler did not kill in the name of the catholic church neither did the kkk, but muslims kill in the name of alla. One Nation Under God is what our declaration states, how is that gonna sit on Osamas plate, i say it wrong for a reason.
#18
I'm a religious neutral person, not atheist but don't participate in a church, I think that opinion is very narrow minded. Muslims are the largest religious group in the world and just because a few idiots are fanatics and do dumb **** does not mean they all are. Terrorist makes up leass than 1/1000 of 1% of Muslims. I don't share thier beliefs and I don't like thier rules but they are not bad people. Hitler was Catholic does that make all Catholics bad? Thee KKK has a lot of Baptists does that make all of them bad as well. Just curious.
#19
I agree with most of what you said but I will leave you with one observation. Hitler and other Christian faithed or affiliated nut jobs that were hell bent on global domination were put in their place by the Christian world. When will the Muslim world step up to the Osama's of the world and put them in their place? Or are they already in their place......
