<<Obscene profits........Exxon-Mobil made 4 billion dollars profit this quarter.....a record for profit in the history of America over a three month period..............How do you defend this offensive earnings report.>>

Why should I defend it? I don't own any oil stocks as Gore does. I didn't allow the release of oil from out Strategic reserves that will add another $90 million in oil profits.

Indeed, I told you how to cripple these companies. No sales = no profits. Just don't buy any of their products. Heat your home with wood and remember, walking isn't crowded.

There is nothing to defend. Corporations take hits in adverse conditions, and get windfalls in favorable conditions. If they incidentally happened to profit, more power to them........

The same way I would defend ANY profit. To a Marxist as yourself , no profit is defensible. That my friend is the path you would lead us down.

I applaud it. It's offensive that the federal government gets a profit of 100% for the high tax levies that they impose on gas. Where is the transition to alternative energy sources, given this high level of taxation?
