What an effing joke.  $100 bucks will buy me two tanks of gas.  Idiots. 

How's about Exxon doesn't make 99cents a gallon profit?  That sounds like a better plan.  Stupid selfish greedy republican effers.

 :)) I also find that rather dumb. $100 is very little compared to what people are paying every day. I say make the oil companies slash the price by half. With the profits they have been posting quarterly it wont hurt them. But some CEO might not get his golden parachute

Exxon lavishes $398M on retiree

By Jad Mouawad
The New York Times

Last year's high oil prices not only helped Exxon Mobil report $36 billion in profit, they also allowed Lee R. Raymond to retire in style as chairman.

Raymond received a compensation package worth about $140 million last year, including cash, stock, options and a pension plan. He is still entitled to stock, options and long-term compensation worth at least another $258 million, according to a proxy statement filed by Exxon with the Securities and Exchange Commission Wednesday.

The total sum for Raymond's golden years comes to at least $398 million, among the richest compensation packages ever. The record was the payout of $550 million to Michael D. Eisner, the former head of Walt Disney, in 1997.

Exxon's board also agreed to allow him to use the company aircraft. Raymond agreed to reimburse Exxon partly when he uses the company jet for personal travel.

"When is enough, enough?" said Brian Foley, an executive compensation consultant. "This looks like a spigot that you can't turn off."

Raymond, 67, spent 43 years at Exxon

The company also paid for security, country club fees, financial planning and tax assistance services.
