Finally…
60 SPILLION GALLONS LATER: OBAMA TO MEET WITH BP CHAIRMAN
But, he still won’t meet with the CEO!
Does this mean President Obama is back in charge of the disaster relief and operations? Or, is BP? Or, maybe Salazar? Napolitano?… Do we know yet?
The AFP reported:
BP’s chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg has been summoned to a meeting with President Barack Obama next Wednesday to answer questions about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, an official letter said.
Svanberg, a Swede, was invited to the meeting on June 16 with other company officials, but the White House did not demand to see BP CEO Tony Hayward, who Obama has said he would fire, if he could, over flippant comments.
“The BP Deepwater Horizon spill is the largest environmental disaster in our nation’s history,” said the letter to Svanberg from Thad Allen, a Coast Guard admiral who is leading the US government’s response to the crisis.
“The potential devastation to the Gulf Coast, its economy, and its people require relentless efforts to stop the leak and contain the damage,” it said.
Allen pointed out that BP was financially responsible for all costs associated with the response to the disaster, including efforts to plug a ruptured undersea well and protecting the coastline from a massive oil slick.
“As part of our ongoing communication, I request that you and any appropriate officials from BP, meet with senior administration officials on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 to discuss these timely issues,” the letter said.
It’s been 52 days since the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion on April 20,2010. It is now considered the largest offshore spill in U.S. history. And yet President Obama has yet to speak to the top officials at BP… But he insists that he’s in charge of the situation?
Tar blobs began washing up on Florida’s white sand beaches near Pensacola this past weekend. Crude oil has already been reported along barrier islands in Alabama and Mississippi, and has impacted about 125 miles of Louisiana coastline.
As Rudy Giuliani said:
I wrote a book on leadership, and I would say that if I wrote another one I would use this as an illustration of the opposite of leadership. This thing happened over 50 days ago. The President goes on vacation twice. ”
The nation’s largest environmental disaster is also its largest leadership disaster.

Obama IS the greatest disaster to ever happen to the U.S. The damage that this idiot has caused will take at least decades to repair !
RecklessProcess commented:
And the president throws a big White house party, on average, every three days.
Mats commented:
He is so awful that the only way for him to get reelected is by importing millions of illegals. You know, those who care nothing about american law and order.
So the only way for him to stay in power in the USA is by destroying the power of the USA.
donh commented:
Obama is meeting with the BP chairman for the sole purpose of reading the riot act of all the things the US government can and will do to BP if Tony Hayward is not FIRED immediately. When will the chairman of the New World Order fire Obama?

The.Worst.President.Ever!
Betsy Ross commented:
This oil gusher in the gulf is such a disaster and obama is, as usual, responding in a very political way. It appears that he won’t allow Gov. Jindal to have necessary federal assistance and the only reason, it appears, is that Gov. Jindal is a Republican. Another example, there is a company in Maine that has gone into over-drive to produce miles of boom, but no-one will take his call. And the reason? Could it be that his company is non-union? Things are just not adding up except when you apply “obama-think”, then it makes sense.
Amy Proctor commented:
Oh, yeah, that’s leadership for you.
Chippy commented:
Where are all the boats and ships of media people with their cameras exposing this disaster? Uhhhhh. Wasn’t this the media drill for the Exxon-Valdez spill? They can’t do it because it exposes the real disaster. Obama.
Joe commented:
All I can say is that every time I see Guiliani on tv, I marvel at the stupidity that did not get him the Republican nomination for the Presidency. This man is a leader and I am firmly convinced that had he run and won, this country would be in an entirely different place, including with this disastrous oil spill. Obama is an incompetent and it shows more and more every day.
bill-tb commented:
Is this the typical “ass to kick” he has been looking for?
Has Marxism been bred into Obama, like a typical Marxist — Doesn’t want to meet with a typical white person CEO. But why? I guess he also doesn’t care for the typical white guys who are governors of the typical white States that ring the Gulf.
Obama really does defy what you would expect of an American president. Typical 57 State alien. Now it seems only the terrorist want to meet with him.
Really weird alien duck we have here. We need a way to find the flush lever.

Obama needs time to arrange with his SEIU pals a nice protest out in front of the White House with bullhorns to greet the BP exec. Just like he did for Jan Brewer of Arizona.
Yeah, he’ll meet with them. In bad faith.
Ginger commented:
Everything Barry does is on purpose! He is racist and if you are not gay, muslim, black, demo rat, socialist, marxist he wants nothing to do with you. He shows his anger towards republicans in a loathing way. His actions will be his down fall.
I don’t feel the blow out was an accident!

Let me be clear, my disaster planning is a disaster. I suck!
The my main goal of my plan is to ensure huge amounts of news footage of gunked-up wildlife and hour after hour of my face on your TV screen… not to mention driving the price of gasoline to $65 per gallon.
Sure, we are not quite at $65 per gallon but just give my plans some time to work! Now, after million of gallons of oil have been spilled I may – or may not meet with the CEO of BP.
Only after I am satisfied that my @ss will not get kicked and my butt plug is in place will I make a decision.
My limousine is belching fumes and I have a meeting with Barney Frank. I think we can Butt Muck this stupid oil company. British people suck and so does their oil company. Good day.
mark commented:
Obama is presiding over two disasters, not one.
1. The Oil Spill is spewing more than 3 millions gallons of oil into the gulf. This will destroy the regional economy for years to come. It’s federally owned water, and Obama blames BP for everything, taking no responsibility.
2. The US economy is spewing more than 12 Trillion dollars in debt. Printed money is flowing out like the oil spill. The debt levels will destroy the US and International economies for years to come. It’s Obama’s policy, and he’s still blaming President George Bush while deflecting any responsibility.

If the hurricane season is as bad as predicted this year, heaven help us!!
Sojourner commented:
…Why would Obama not want to meet with the CEO of BP? For the same reason he wouldn’t meet with Brewer of AZ and Netanyahu of Israel..because, as a sinister, little marxist community organizer, he’s learned: never, ever let a good crisis go to waste.
As he said on June 8, ” When you talk to a guy like a CEO (of BP or AZ or Israel) he is going to say all the right things to me..” Obama can’t have that… then, he’d be accountable.. on the record or worse, he’d be on tape! BP might demand their money back:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0510/36783.html
He’d be acting ‘stupidly’ ..Alinsky wouldn’t approve.. Saul would be saying,” Use the crisis, stir up some hate, create more chaos, mobilize your radical base, seize more government control, destroy more jobs.. kick a$$, man..the clock is ticking down to November”.. that’s why the biggest disaster to ever occupy the Highest Seat in the Land won’t meet,why he dithers once again, while Americans twist in the wind.

“meet with senior administration officials on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 to discuss these timely issues”
WTF – TIMELY??? That’s a week after 52 days….
there’s no urgency in that request.
Bill H commented:
We must have a meeting to discuss our scheduling of future meetings and discussions.
Mike commented:
The big question is…will the Talking Chimp bring his teleprompter to the meeting?
BurmaShave commented:
“[T]he White House did not demand to see BP CEO Tony Hayward, who [sic] Obama has said he would fire, if he could, over flippant comments.”
Just who does Obama think he is?!?!?!?
Certainly not just some crappy old President of the United States, because the President of the United States has powers limited by the Constitution. (Although apparently that is not an obstacle for Democrat politicians, just everybody else.)
God? No, God does not take care of problems in such a crass manner.
Emperor of the World? Maybe.
BTW, if anybody should be fired on account of his flippant remarks, it would be Emperor Obama himself.
+++++++++++++
My theory is that Obama explicitly does not want to meet with Tony Hayward because Obama plans to crucify him (for political purposes, of course), and it is a little harder to do that once you have had a beer summit with your intended prey.

Svanberg should kick Oilbama’s @$$.
