.... having your "ass" handed to you by Barack Obama looks like.

JUNE 16: BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward (C), BP Managing Director Robert Dudley (R) and BP America President Lamar McKay (L) leave the White House following a meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama June 16, 2010 in Washington, DC. It was announced after the meeting that BP has agreed to place $20 billion into an escrow account mediated by a third party to pay out claims against damages caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

1. It's because Obama is horribly racist against the British.

2. They all look like they're in mourning -- probably wondering if they'll lose

their jobs or get their bonuses slashed.

[YOY]

3. IMHO they fear the wrath of their shareholders far more than they fear any politician.

Meh...what goes around should come around harder and faster.

4. Good one, Clio..who was it

nevermind..it's not important who, but, someone was saying that "ass kicking" comment from Obama would come back to bite him in the ass. HA!

5. Agree and disagree

It's a combination "'ass' handed to you by Barack Obama" and "we're fucked."

:rofl:

6. I wonder if any one of them understands the horror of what they have done.

and genuinely feels awful about it.

7. Doubt it. Hayward wants his life back and

that was after he went to see the devastation.
I'd love to see them down there picking up the dead birds, on their knees cleaning up marshes and removing tar balls off the beaches. Maybe then they'll realize the horror the "small people" are facing.

8. CNN showed him coming out of the WH laughing his ass off..and made many comments about it..

not complimentary! at all! It was all on tape.

In fact they just replayed it.."Tony looked pretty darn happy for a CEO of a company that just forked over 20 billion dollars"

He was slapping one of the other BP execs on the back..while laughing freely.

Then CNN report asked..Did BP just pull one off on the WH?????????

This was on Anderson Coopers show.

9. Looks like he wuz made an offer he couldn't refuse. n/t
