Now Exxon has a new excuse to raise prices while makeing RECORD profits at the expense of the people. All with the blessing of Congress who never finds the oil company has over charged.

funny how the "conservatives" play politics and with our main oil suppliers; venezuela, iran, mexico especially.

One we threaten to invade
Another we threaten to big a wall between us
The other we finance thier elected leaders overthrow (and fail)

get ready for 5$ gas folks.

yeah, those "conservative" are real bright lights!

Put the crack pipe DOWN! Higher pump prices don''t stop waste, it hurts people trying to get to work everyday! Good guys will never win at that game. Any cost to the oil company comes right out of the good guys%u2019 pocket. They will always get theirs first, even if that means $5 or $6 a gallon! If Hugo wants to die so bad, have him start a nuke program or WMDs! Then he''ll get bombed and every one will say it was for the oil.

Wow this is a switch. Someone *** with an oil company. One of the biggest no less. Chavez is not really smart in fact he is just plain stupid and he is a thief. It will be interesting to see what Exxon can do with some of those billions in profits they have been making. To me this is two evils fighting each other. I am sure Exxon is at least one of if not the largest customer the idiot has. He stands to lose some big money to fill that big mouth. Thats my word..

I am baffled by Venezuelan action. I do not want to condemn President Chavez. But it seems that he never learned any lessons from US conflicts with other countries. It is not wise to get into conflict with US. Look at what happened to Noriega and Saddam. I strongly advise President Chavez government to drop its grandstanding, showmanship, name calling and mend fences with US. mscsrrr.com
