Did the Ex CEO of Exxon Mobil get a retirement PKG. that was EXCESSIVE? $400,000,000.00?

Yes, with all the problems around the world, it's selfish of the ex-CEO to receive such an excessive gift. Record profits by oil companies, climbing gas prices and the middle-class dollar dwindling are clear consequences.\n\nI reckon the compensation package is icing on the cake.

HAHAHA... it's funny... the money that got him elected came from oil... he's just acting like he's all upset about it... I've not seen any action from him on it...

He is a puppet for Halliburton (vice pres Dick Cheney's company) and the oil industry.  But he's actually doing a great job of it.  The price of Halliburton's shares have jumped from $20 to $80 in the last 3 years.  So he may look like an idiot, but he and the people behind him have become very wealthy. By looking stupid, people don't realize what he's really up to.  He wants the war to go on, and he wants oil prices to stay high - it is in his own personal interest.

Wow, somebody got a bee in their turban...\n\nBush Sr. among many other ex-Party and current leadership all have small stakes in the form of mutual funds which in turn are heavily invested in many Middle-East construction and shipping companies.  It is indirect, but it is a clearly linear relationship.  Bush Sr. alone stands to make about $7 million in capital gains when the whole deal goes through (for 26 ports, not just the few in the US, which ironically are the least profitable).

Since when does the government care about the Constitution? They have been slowly taking away your freedoms and liberties for several years in the name of Homeland Security. Why not bring you to your knees with excessive oil prices? Exxon made ten BILLION in profits in one quarter last year. Constitutional right or not, something must be done.

That's pretty damn good for a Mayor. My Mayor actually gets a double dip because he was police detective with a retirement. He is drawing $75,000.00 plus his $47,000.00 for detective, and he will get his retirement from the Police, and Fireman Union. He had already had 22 years invested in the retirement. I don't that's fair, you should choose one or the other. The city allows him to have both and all of it. We have a population of 100,000 and are just a ordinary city, nothing special. I call it Republican criminals just like George Bush. Those funds could be going to roads or schools, and or for teachers.

Not much these days.  Maybe even negative dollars.  He own about 9% of MSFT stock.  You can see the market cap here and see that his wealth goes up and down quite a bit every day.

Believe me you don't want the federal price controls back on gasoline. Something makes me sure you're not old enough to remember what happened in 1973, but that aside, it is egregious for a company to compensate any executive like that. Those earning could be retained and probably doubled in a matter of five years on simple investments, much less research, development and exploration. How about infrastructure improvements like new refineries and pipelines?\n\nThis madness in U.S. and U.K. corporate culture with the salaries and bonuses is going to implode just like the nonsense with the stock market did 5 years ago. Investors beware! Can anyone say Dick Grasso?
