HE IS!!!

ExxonMobil is returning fire after President Obama singled out the oil giant in Wednesday’s debate when calling for an end to billions of dollars in industry tax breaks.

“To hear President Barack Obama in last night’s first presidential debate, you would think he was running against ExxonMobil this November given his tendency to single us out for criticism,” wrote Ken Cohen, an Exxon executive, on the company’s blog Thursday.

using exxon as an example of of anything once during a debate, is not a tendency.
does exxon mobile really expect the public to feel outrage over such a slight? or are they planning to sue obama for slander?
they deserve to be nationalized (right after obama takes gun ownership rights away) in vindication of their own prophesy.

decline any further subsidies from the U.S. Government and they will be left out of any further discussions about corporate welfare.

It's that easy.
