VENICE, La. – Just when it seemed Gulf residents couldn't get any more outraged about the massive oil spill fouling their coastline, word came Saturday that BP's CEO was taking time off to attend a glitzy yacht race in England.
Tony Hayward's latest public relations gaffe didn't sit well with people in the U.S. who have seen their livelihoods ruined by the massive two-month oil spill.

He should have just played a round of golf instead.
And wasn't he relieved of his duties in the day to day response anyways?

Yea, cause he's the guy that will actually fix it.

Hayward was relieved of his duties of leading the effort to stop the leak and clean up. He is no longer involved and good riddance. Hopefully can get someone in here to actually do some good.

what would you recommend that they do? seems to me that they are doing everything that they can.

That is like being pissed at the President for plying golf while we have two wars going on. What the frick is he personally going to do to aid in the clean up?

he is no longer in charge of the gulf operations.
find something real to whine about.
See my sig.

That's rich coming from you, because that was all you were doing when this started.

TD posters, grasping at the flimsiest things about which to feign outrage.
They're not the only ones.
But seriously, even though he can't "fix" it by himself, for a company trying to maintain or repair its public image, taking his yacht out isn't exactly well-advised.

No and neither is throwing parties in the white house either. It's very hypocritical for the WH to take shots like this

And Bush was on vaction every other week. Where was the conservative outrage then ?

Yeah but going to crawford wasn't exactly a vaca. It was an exentsion of the wh. Obama meets with BP for 20 minutes but meets with the Jonas brothers for 2 hours. What a fricking piece of shite. Worse president of our time

sheek, you spun the hayward thread into an Obamabash.......whether anyone hates him or not, take that weekness to the freakboard.
Posted on 6/19/10 at 10:32 pm to Mudminnow
I don't see anyone gripping about Obama's golf games and going to baseball games and having McCartney concerts! Come on give the 'boy' his due!
Posted on 6/19/10 at 11:36 pm to Mudminnow
The fricker got kicked to the curb...what should he do? Don some sackcloth and walk the streets shouting "Unclean!"?
Gulf residents need to get a fricking grip.
