Who is this guy?

I just noticed this image..



Well?

I am wondering who this is and what is his story.

So, without asking those who put up this image.. I’ll ask you members.

Tell me who this is and something about him and the connection to the oil industry.

500 points, or a double applause to the first!

That's Lee R. Raymond

His connection is that he's the chief of Exxon (bad guy)

Lately he's been investing in Africa and in the Middle East (go figure)

Well, I guess I'm in good company. I also was wondering who the heck that guy was. Now I know.

I was also wondering if that picture is unedited, since that guy has more chins than my entire family.

You can find some pretty good info on himhere.

He makes an awful lot of money, and is said to be more powerful than Rockafeller ever was.

Why is he a 'bad guy'? Is it because he makes a profit selling something that everyone wants and needs?

Is someone a 'bad guy' if he makes more of a profit than you think he should be 'allowed' to?

Its not that, in the last quarter katrina happened, and ironically they started bitching out they lost oil lines down south...

Now its really interesting gas went up to 3.00+ bucks right after Katrina, now they wanna sit around shoving this in our faces on how they made 10+ billion dollars..
