Oil companies make the same amount of profit about 18 cents per gallon of gas regardless of the cost of crude oil . If you are paying $3.00 per gallon the Oil Companies could give you the fuel at cost and it would still cost you $2.82 per gallon. The additional money you are spending for gasoline is going to the crude oil producing countries, not the American refiners of crude oil.
Oil companies are publicly traded corporations. Each and every share holder receives part of the Oil Company's profits. That includes our pension plans, 401k's and any other Mutual Fund type of investing that buys their stock.
The President does not represent Texas. You may be surprised to know that the Al Gore family and the Ted Kennedy family are heavily invested in Oil. The Gore's own a major interest in Occidental Petroleum.
Don't believe the hype, it's deceitful!

The president by definition represents the US. He is FROM Texas, he does not represent it.
Do you think he has a hidden agenda? - No. The president has less affect on gas prices than you do. Want gas prices to go down? Use less. It is simple economics, supply and demand.

why don't you buy stock instead of whining about everyone who has it? Do you have any idea how many pension funds invest in Exxon? Why don't you attack those little old couples who live off that pension? They are equally to blame.

he doesn't control oil prices. Investors do. Investors are hurting the public. I think a cap needs to be installed. I am not saying federalizing the petroleum industry, just monitor more closely.
