Exxon/Mobil suffered through a poor 4th quarter but still ended the year with record profits. An industry analyst [ read between the lines, select one – bull shit artist, spin Dr. lying scum of the earth] said that this was a good sign that the economy was strong. The demand for oil was great and people were traveling. [ back and forth to their low paying job or unemployment ] see folks it really had nothing to do with the $4.25 a gallon gas.
