WOW, Obama was able to meet with BP Executives for an entire 20 minutes today!

I wonder if Obama thanked them for providing him the excuse to ram Cap and Trade thru?

Obama is some guy. Solves the Gulf oil spill in less time he takes to eat his lunch





WASHINGTON/LONDON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama will confront BP Plc on Wednesday with a demand that it set aside billions of dollars to pay damages from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the worst in U.S. history.

BP executives, including Chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg, CEO Tony Hayward and BP U.S. boss Lamar McKay, were seen walking into the West Wing of the White House just before 10 a.m. ET for talks with Obama that were scheduled to last 20 minutes.

Looking serious, they barely glanced at photographers and camera crews recording their arrival. It was their first meeting with Obama since the start of the nearly two-month old crisis.

The meeting came a day after Obama, in a televised address to Americans on Tuesday night, accused BP of recklessness and vowed to fight the spill "with everything we've got."

James Guiang, senior portfolio manager at Millennium Global Natural Resources Fund, said BP needed to cut a deal with Obama. "Whenever you go up against a government, you're not going to win," he said.

Really, so I guess we're still slave owning British citizens then, are we?

With the stimulus and Obamacare - Obama let Reid and Pelosi write the bill, while he partied and traveled the world

Obama is not use to being a leader. His roots show he is use to stirring the pot, and nothing else.
