Dwaine Caraway Pumps Up ExxonMobil Gas
When it comes to getting gassed up, Dallas Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway believes in pumping local. “It would not be fair to stand here and not submit to you that I only use Exxon gas,” Caraway told hundreds of people at the Dallas Arboretum this morning. “I pass a lot of gas stations and go on ’til I find an Exxon station. When you have a company like Exxon–who for years … has been giving back to the community–never forget where you’re coming from.”
Caraway (shown in photo by Jeanne Prejean) disclosed his petrol preference during “special remarks” at a reception and awards ceremony for the 2010 ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs Program. This is the 20th year the Irving-based energy giant has bankrolled eight-week paid internships for local nonprofits like DOWNTOWNDallas and the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth. This year it’s coughing up $270,000 to cover intern salaries and program expenses in North Texas.

Meanwhile, no self-respecting gay/lesbian in Dallas or the rest of the country will buy gas from Exxon/Mobil because they consistently vote DOWN extending benefits partners of GLBT employees. This after undoing the rule that Mobil had prior to the merger. That and their shareholders are crazy:

Can we get the video of Dwayne proclaiming “I pass a lot of gas . . . and go on. . . .”
Undoing things Mobil had prior to the merger are one of the key reasons the company continues to thrive.
Dwaine Caraway: Don Hill Ver. 2.0 heavier, slower, and not as smart. But he can go from 0 to full brown nose in less that six seconds.
