Man...what a racket...:mad:



In an interview on Fox News television 10 days ago, Mr. Raymond, Exxon Mobil's chief executive, sought to quell some of the criticism.

"The question of how much money we make - profit is not a dirty word. And it's absolutely required in our industry to have an adequate level of profit to be able to continue to invest."

Later in the program, when asked whether Exxon Mobil's profits were "obscene," he said: "No, I don't think they're obscene. I don't think they're obscene at all."

What an ass. I am sure the gas prices are not big deal to someone who makes 10+ million a year. :mad:

Instead of looking at an X5 next year, take a look at the Lexus 400rh. It's been a big surprise as to how well it performs.

You know if the media would make as big a deal about this as they did about the **** ups FEMA made in New Orleans, I think gas prices would go down considerably. I think there has been 2 stories in the last month about this crap. In the other news story ABC had a month or so ago, they reported that the head guy at Mobile/Exxon made $8 million profit last year, but he cleared like $33 million in the second quarter of this year. ( I'm pretty sure about those figures, but don't kill me if I'm off by a mill or two:P )
I don't think even the big oil companies like being put under a microscope and getting alot of bad publicity.
