Found a fact the liberal media isn't going to tell anyone about. Exxon paid $3 in taxes for every dollar of "record profits". How much more blood can you squeeze out of a turnip?

> "Now two points, one, they know they're lying about what my energy plan is, but the other thing is they're making fun of a step that every expert says would absolutely reduce our oil consumption by 3 to 4 percent. The absurdity of this claim cannot be overemphasized. You can't take figures from AAA and every other interested party and assume they are correct. A DOE economist was quoted on CNN today as saying you could get "maybe" one percent, which is probably an overstatement. I drove 400 miles in the last two days. I did not see one vehicle driving on a flat tire. Underinflating by one or two lbs will not have a noticeable effect on fuel economy. At all. Now, if you are driving with a tire that is underinflated by 10 or 15 lbs, that's different -- but it is also very noticeable when you drive. Obama is totally looking like a fool with this.
