From The Hill

BP’s chief executive wouldn’t have a job if President Barack Obama were in charge of the oil company, the president said Tuesday.

“He wouldn’t be working for me after any of those statements,” Obama said during an interview on NBC’s “Today” show, referencing comments made by Hayward in which said he wanted his pre-spill life back.

All hat and no cattle!

Funny, I had the same thought about him.

If gaffs and poor public speaking are show stoppers for Obama, I wonder how Joe Biden is feeling about his own job security. Along the same lines, I have to marvel at the irony of Obama thinking BP’s CEO ineffectiveness and poor public performance are grounds for termination. Here’s looking at 2012 because that oil will still be washing up when the voters go to the polls.

And the blame game continues…. He should man up, help SOLVE the problem, and if he still needs to point and say “its his fault” fine… But, if he doesnt get passed this 5th grade bullshit nothings ever gonna get done.

Can you order that toilet paper online. I need a couple of cases before Xmas.

You can get the black & white version online, which is probably less likely to cause a rash:

The George W. Bush roll costs $5 more. I’m really not sure what conclusions can be drawn from the big price difference.

of course he would. After he gets finished kicking a$$ and taking names. The oil spill? He can’t fix that or call in expert who can but he can fire someone.

It’s Bush’s FAULT!. Rinse, repeat. 🙄

My brain has made a connection between the fraud’s statement about kicking ass and the toilet paper with his face on it – but it boggles so am trying to delete it from my head…..

Watching election results – women are kicking ass – fraud better watch out – most of them wear stilletoes and could be considered a dangerous weapon – oh oh!!!

Sarah Plain effect is working too – Nikki Haley, Carly Fiorina – woo hoo………………

I want my pre-Obama life back.

@Rides A Pale Horse: ME TOO!!!!!!!

So someone who is on site and trying to get the problem fixed is not as competent as someone who sits back and waits for over a month to even decide to do ANYTHING to help the problem. PEBO needs to reevaluate his own admins record of success.

Here is a Chicago thug who has NEVER had any kind of job that wasn’t GIVEN him by other political thugs. Yet he’s talking about FIRING the head of BP!!! Hussein’s sole talent is reading a teleprompter with convincing “feeling!” How exactly would he ever have been in POSITION to fire the head of BP??

Obama wants to know whose ass to kick.
Start with your own you incompetent jackass.

BP’s seems be entirely appropriate.

This is what the public should expect from one of the largest and most profitable corporations in the world?

@OLDPUPPYMAX: I have to disagree with you on the “feeling” while reading from the TOTUS. I have never “heard” any feeling. It is like listening to a computer voice. There just ain’t no feeling there.
