When profits go up, stock value goes up. Last time I checked Exxon Mobil has seen record profits, effectively putting money DIRECTLY into Geroge Bush's pocket.
There, he has clearly profited, there is no doubt, it is simple economics. Why would someone be inclined to make himself lose money?

So i guess what your saying is that any president or memeber of congress should not be aloud to hold publicly traded stocks of any kind? When people talk of Bush profiting from the gas prices they are not refering to his public stock ownership, I'm sure most members of congress own some oil stocks. What the anti Bush folks are trying to imply is that he his getting bribes and millions upon millions dirrectlly from the oil companies. Thats whats at issue, not what stocks bush owns.
Nice try though....
