US President Barack Obama on Saturday said Congress should halt subsidizing oil companies to invest in the energy of the future. "When oil companies are making huge profits and you?re struggling at the pump, and we?re scouring the federal budget for spending we can afford to do without, these tax giveaways aren?t right," Obama said in his weekly radio address. "They aren?t smart. And we need to end them," he added. The appeal came as US consumers chafed under gasoline prices that have climbed a dollar from a year ago to about an average $4 a gallon (3.8 liters) at the pump. Obama and potential opponents in next year's presidential election have pushed the issue onto the front burner. On Tuesday, the president called on Congress to cut $4 billion in subsidies to profit-churning oil firms and he repeated his appeal on Saturday. Obama noted that this past week, the largest US oil companies announced that they had made more than $25 billion in profits in the first few months of 2011, up about 30 percent from last year's figures. The president said he was not opposed to increasing US oil production. "But I also believe," he went on to say, "that instead of subsidizing yesterday?s energy, we should invest in tomorrow?s -- and that?s what we?ve been doing." Obama said his administration was already making investments in solar and wind power as well as other energy-efficient technologies. "And I think that?s an investment worth making," he added.

That British Kenyan fella hObama sure knows how to kill an economy, and drive up gas prices. But don't worry, he's printing more money.
I recall a re-run of MASH I saw where this uber right winger named Colonel Flagg... BFD. The cost of war around the world in Iraq for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is only one BILLION/day give or take a few human lives.
Let's set a little perspective here: You oil guys can spin it all you want but on that list the only one representing a product I absolutely must have yet cannot create for myself are represented by #5 and 6.

http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/Ratios.jsp?tkr=xom Exxon's pre-tax profit margin is 14.3%. Your streak of posting incorrect information continues unabated. What was their "post tax" profit margin?
America...My Kind Of Place...
You really are a dumb shit aren't you? I posted total profit margin. You posted pre-tax margin. It's not incorrect data you stupid leftist moron. It's right here you stupid leftist asshole.
LIAR.

Not a chance. The American oilman got there first.

Yes they are. When figuring the true cost of oil war, the cost of Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.* should be figured into the total. *Major General Smedley D. Butler, USMC, Retired War is a Racket

I made no such error. I original post was edited before you read it. I posted a HTML table. It's did't look good. I edited the format many times to make it look right.
I want to apologize to the good people on this board for my uncharacteristically vulgar outburst. The country is on the verge of collapse. The leftist scum just don't get it. Not only do they advocate even more horrible policies, they try to make us waste our time with personal nonsense that has nothing to do with the crisis at hand. I got mad at one of the chief leftist scums on the board. I shouldn't have. I usually don't. I am truly sorry. I will be more polite in the future. Thank you.
