President Barack Obama would have fired BP's CEO Tony Hayward over controversial comments downplaying the Gulf oil spill — if the executive had been working for him.
During an interview with Matt Lauer on NBC's TODAY to be broadcast Tuesday, the president added his voice to calls for Hayward's resignation amid claims from a former EPA lawyer that BP is a "recurring environmental criminal."
Some 25 million to 39 million gallons of oil are estimated to have gone into the Gulf of Mexico since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers.

Wouldn’t he have had to talk to him first?
grandstanding a-hole
This man is definitely out of his mind. Or he thinks all of us are out of our minds.
No doubt the msm will be orgasmic over his posturing.
If it wasn’t so pathetic he would be laughable.
Barry assumes qualified people would ever want to work for him.
I would have impeached the President by now.
And colluding with BP and the UK in a deal that got the Lockerbie bomber released.
Barry and BP have got each other by the (deleted).
This guy LOVES to step in and try to micromanage everything, hiring and firing, when he has never held a real job himself in his life. Kinda like when a boss puts his n-er-do-well, bumbling nephew over employess who’ve been with the company for decades.
Since when does a community organizer fire anybody?
So, when B.O. downplays the effects of his horrible economic plan, saying there are "green shoots" and "we've turned the corner", we can fire him.
When B.O., without any first hand knowledge of the situation, accuses police officers of "acting stupidly" on national television, we can fire him.
When B.O. misrepresents his health care plan--on purpose--and the costs are increased much higher than what he said, we can fire him.
When B.O. promises 8% unemployment as a maximum for our nation, and that is a lie, we can fire him.
When B.O. cannot, even with the aid of a teleprompter, pronounce the word "corps", we can fire him.
The asshole golfs while the Gulf burns, attends WH parties every night while the Gulf burns, takes cash from BP while the Gulf burns, disses American veterans while the Gulf burns, and we shouldn’t FIRE HIM why?
I would have fired Obama if he had been working for me.
Captain Obvious is channeling his inner Spike Lee as he mouths more platitudes, spouts inanities and pronounces his intellectual vapidity, with Kick-*s*ness, of course.
EPA lawyer that BP is a “recurring environmental criminal.”
It reminds me of the old soviet system of charges;
‘Crimes against the people’
It would be funny if it weren’t so frightening.
He is SUCH the President of the Middle School Students Association!
I say we fire BO.
Bloomberg news reported that Barry still hadn’t spoken with BP’s CEO as of yesterday. I found that disclosure to be very interesting.
Go ahead obama, throw him under the bus. Hopefully he will speak out and drag you down with him.
He sounds totally stupid with his “kick ass” and “would have fired by now” comments. This clown has probably never been in a smack down fight in his life. I bet Michelle kicks his ass on a weekly basis.
Trust me, lightweight, if anyone needs firing it's the bozo looking back at you in the mirror.
