To think that the hoi polloi of Republicans think that they know better than our countries combined intelligence and secret services is preposterous.

I hope you're wrong. Trump is Trump. He will find something to harp on, to be sure, but let's hope he gives up on this one.

I hope you're right! I meant that releasing it now was not a good thing, because it allowed Trump to claim arrogant empty victory. I think he did move on, immediately, to Obama's academic record..... The Daily Show noted that maybe he paints his name in big letters on everything because he loses them a lot.... :D [/quote]

So sad. (edited to remove confusion, if that's even possible).

No amount of drilling in the USA is going to affect the price of oil. Any oil produced here just goes to the highest bidder worldwide. The unregulated futures market is causing the high prices. Call your idiot republican representatives who are puppets of Wall St. and the oil companies to do something about it.

Exxon Mobile announced Thursday a first-quarter profit of $10.6 billion -- a 69% increase from last year, and a number so astronomical, Exxon executives felt the need to issue defensive statements before the announcement.1 Also unveiling massive earnings were Shell ($6.3 billion, up 30%), ConocoPhillips ($3 billion, up 44%), and of course, BP (7.1 Billion, up 16%). In all, the five largest oil companies have reaped nearly $1 trillion in profits in the last 10 years.

There was that article showing how one of Bush's companies (or one if his companies companies) now owns the oil in Iraq or something :) I really need to start keeping track of these articles so I can link them! :)

Go ahead and ask them where they stand on Wall Street reform and regulation, and where they stand on the huge subsidies to the oil companies. How can you blame Obama for something he has no control over? Maybe you should turn off the nonsense that masquerades for news at Fox.

Here

I'm pretty sure that exxon mobil profited about 2 CENTS a gallon of gas sold. (If I find the news report, I'll post) The average TAX on gasoline in US states is 44 cents a gallon. Who is profiting more?

His birthplace doesn't change the fact that he's an awful president and so far proving to be as much of a war monger as the twit he replaced. I pray someday we can move past this ignorant two party system we have and elect some officials that actually have the country's best interest at heart.

Democrats, Republicans, what's the difference? All either of them want to do is steal your money, give it to others, and send your children to wars that line the pockets of despicable human beings.

If you can't tell, I'm a bit pessimistic when it comes to politics. I urge all Americans to not vote for a single incumbent. Send the power structure a message that we won't take this shit anymore.

LOL..it is not what each station makes...10 billion profits divided by the total amount of Exxon gasoline pumped into your car = 7 cents.... and they get the same tax break as any other business...the get to depreciate each oil reserve as it is worth less and less each year as oil is removed. The same as when I purchased some computers for a small business I used to own.

and....profits will go UP as the price of a gallon of gas goes UP....

What you read about is what the average gas station owner makes in profit on a gallon of gas. Not what the oil companies are making. The figures I copied are accurate. Exxon Mobile announced Thursday a first-quarter profit of $10.6 billion -- a 69% increase from last year. That's Billion with a B! In three months time. And got a tax break on top of it.
