POTUS Has Not Spoken to the BP CEO?!?!
President Obama appeared on the Today Show and said that he has not spoken to British Petroleum's CEO Tony Hayward... "and here's why..." Obama said, "when you speak to someone like that they tell you what you want to hear." Are you serious Mr. President?!?!?! First of all, who is he to presume to know what Hayward is going to say? Secondly, SO?!?! You talk to the guy, knowing that if you are as pissed as the president claims to be, you say "Look Tony, don't feed me this crap!" Even if that was his concern, why not talk to the CEO's of other oil companies and see if they have advisors that can help. The guy had a freakin' BEER SUMMIT to talk about what all parties could have done better in the Louis Gates mess, why not have an Oil Company Summit?!?! THIS IS A CRISIS! A CATASTROPHE! A CALAMITY!
I don't know about anyone else, but I don't wanna hear how pissed off the president is and how he wants to find out who's "ass to kick". I want him to keep talking to whoever he needs to, to get this "hole plugged up!" Stop having award ceremonies for Paul McCartney and taking vacations and show some real empathy for the fisherman and all of the people being affected by this CRISIS!!
