DARN IT!!!

I wish these guys would focus on making a profit but at the same time be fair!

What they've done to us recently is only making a profit and the American public be damned!

Aaaarrrgghhhh!

Check this story out. Exxon Mobil Profit, Sales Soar to Records

If you don't have time to read the whole thing, a couple of quotes...

"Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) rewrote the corporate record books Thursday as the oil company's third-quarter earnings soared to almost $10 billion and it became the first public company ever with quarterly sales topping $100 billion. Anglo-Dutch competitor Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA) wasn't far behind, posting a profit of $9 billion for the quarter."

"Thursday's outsized earnings are a result of surging oil and natural gas prices that pushed pump prices to record territory after Hurricane Katrina. They come on the heels of similar eye-popping gains reported this week by BP PLC (BP), ConocoPhillips Inc. and Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO) Chevron Corp. (CVX) reports its earnings on Friday."

"Exxon is a good corporate citizen but it does not work for the welfare of the country," said oil analyst Fadel Gheit at Oppenheimer & Co. in New York. (B!S! They've been screwing us all!!!)

"Exxon Chairman and Chief Executive Lee R. Raymond did not mention of the record results in the company's earnings release. Instead, he noted that the world's largest publicly traded oil company "acted responsibly in pricing at our company operated service stations, and we also encouraged our independent retailers and distributors to do the same." (That man is so full of BS he wouldn't know if it hit him in the face... acted responsibly my eye!!!)

Again... AAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!
