No, he is attending Mike Tyson’s summer boxing camp. Ready to kick some ass.

This will be fun to watch. Lubing up the November elections by giving this guy a black eye.

For the first time in my life, I am not proud to be an American with this phoney in the W.H.

Spent this whole week with an Aussie and he said “we look good compared to you mate”.

FML and God Bless America, if HE will allow it to exist after this Obomination.

BO is meeting with the non-executive chairman, he is a token board rep:

the guy does not run BP. Hayward does, the CEO.

That is the way Brit companies are set up. Everyone knows non-exec chair does nothing.

Interesting. I thought it was peculiar that I had never seen nor heard this guy's name. That explains it.

Discovery channel is has a special on the spill now. It started at 8PM ET and ends at 9PM. Pretty informative for folks like me that are not in the business.

He dithered on the Afghan surge. He dithered on the oil gusher. He only reacts... slowly.

>>Sarah scores again.>>

Sarah knows the cast of characters, has delt with Oil Cos. as Governor on Pipeline issues, negotiated with Major Cos. and Canada re pipelines.

Sarah has ripped Obama in print and TV interviews.
When Sarah, call me.
Sarah would have had all hand on deck STAT

No, it’s a a picture of him bowing when he wasn’t even president, so he’s a long time bower. He was bowing to President of the Ukraine.

A Foe to Love
Viktor Yanukovych, the former Russian puppet and boogeyman of Ukraine’s Orange Revolution, will use the presidency to steer his country away from the West. Actually, that suits Obama very well.
President Barack Obama met today with Ukraine’s new President, Viktor Yanukovych, who’s in Washington for the Nuclear Security Summit. In theory, this should have been a disaster: over the years the United States has devoted a lot of time and diplomatic capital to keeping the pro-Russian Yanukovych out of power. Washington refused to recognize his “victory” in a rigged 2004 election and instead supported his Western-leaning rival, Viktor Yushchenko, and the Orange Revolution that eventually brought him to power. Yushchenko wanted to bring Ukraine westward—into NATO and the European Union—and was supported in this quest by the Bush administration, much to the chagrin of European powers like Germany, France, and Italy (who rightly feared that pushing Ukraine into NATO would cause fury in Russia). Now Yanukovych is back, and he will surely draw Ukraine back toward Russia: he makes no secret of his view that the NATO idea was “a mistake” and “against Ukraine’s national interests.” Earlier this month he even scrapped a government body dedicated to overseeing NATO integration. Instead, Yanukovych says that he wants Ukraine to be “a neutral country on good terms with all of our neighbors.” This doesn’t seem like a natural friend for Obama.

Maybe The President needs a red phone tied to her number so he can figure out what to do next.

Didn’t Obama say to Matt Lauer that if Tony Hayward worked under him that he would’ve already FIRED his ass? Or kick his ass?

What an Ass-Clown.

A few other tidbits about the Chairman:

Just started within the past 6 months or so.

Came from Ericsson- phones, not oil. So he can look at a balance sheet but I don’t know that he is very conversant in petroleum engineering.

Dr. Tony is a geologist, CEO, and came out of the E & P division.

So if anything, it will be a shakedown moment, IMO.

I detest the null set and all of his flying monkeys.
