To the editor:

Exxon Mobil announced recently that it had recorded over $11 billion in profit. This is an all-time record profit for any U.S. company! The Exxon Mobile CEO makes $21 million a year. We pay for this every time we fill up. John McCain now has a TV ad out blaming Obama for big oil profits. That’s putting more “spin” on the issue than a Kansas tornado!

Bush will leave office with a $500 billion deficit for you and me (and our grandkids) to pay for. So much for the Republicans’ rhetoric of “saving” us taxpayers money. If all it takes to run a country is to charge up a gigantic credit card bill for others to pay, then sign me up. I think I can handle that kind of budgeting. Wish I could run my household that way.
