Exxon for President!
While in the office of president, Halliburton has:

• Overcharged our troops for meals,
• Diverted billions of dollars from the war effort to private interests,
• Caused oil prices to skyrocket,
• Weakened the security of the nation.

We need a corporation that will behave responsibly if elected President! We need a corporation which will work for our country, and not for itself! We need a corporation which will put the good of the nation in front of the good of its stockholders! We can’t afford Halliburton’s presidency any longer! We need Exxon for president!

Paid for by the Committee to Elect Exxon President.

1. I thought Exxon already WAS President!
After all, BushCo's original position on global warming was virtually identical to Exxon's.

3. Yeah, too true
It would be easier in my opinion if they just slapped the corporate logo on the doors of the white house, so we can know who's really in power.

4. Long may it wave


(Ironic that the ExxonMobil logo isn't on here. But I guess like the company, it's kind of clunky.)

8. Any company that can make a Net Profit of $100 million per day
and still convince everyone that gas prices need to keep going up is plenty smart enough, that is for sure..:shrug:
