Barack Obama will spend all of twenty minutes meeting with BP executives at the White House tomorrow, according to a White House release of the president's schedule for Wednesday--a meeting that Obama demanded.

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller posted about the meeting on Twitter this evening:

Tomorrow at the WH: Obama's schedule shows him spending just 20 minutes in the meeting with BP executives at 1015am. about 1 hour ago via web

Knoller also Tweeted that Obama will make a statement about the meeting at 12:15 p.m. from the Rose Garden.

Obama spent four hours playing golf on Sunday. That would be about three hours and forty minutes longer than he is planning to meet with the BP executives over what Obama has called the worst environmental disaster in our nation's history.

Obama has also compared the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and World War II.

Twenty minutes.

"Twenty minutes is not enough time in one's schedule to kill Chandra Levy, and it's not enough time to kick some BP ass, either."

I hope they show up late!

It's pathetic... but at the mere mention of Obama's name, people are starting to laugh...no punch line needed!

I am guessing that Obama's excessive time spent golfing is part of his avoidance behavior.

As a pathological narcissist, he would find the job of president incredibly stressful and threatening. It is a constant, intensely painful reminder that his narcissism is a fantasy.

Golf enables him to fuggedaboutit.

Probably the first break the BP execs have caught in months.

Keeping it this short is his way of telegraphing to Palin that she can spur the meeting but she can’t force him to spend more time than he jolly well pleases.

somehow, I think the Queen's English loses in translation. I think you meant: "You can lead a horse(s a$$) to water but you can't make him drink". Almost always applies to our "all hat, no cattle" TOTUS!

That’s how long he figures it will take him to beat them up.

Twenty minutes is plenty of time to screw it up.
