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?

Do you have a 401k? If so it is highly likely that you too are profiting from high oil prices.
