"BP will recover every drop of oil in the Gulf"- Tony Hayward, BP CEO

[AnArmyVeteran]

How arrogant and stupid can a person be to make a claim that 'every drop of oil from the oil disaster will be recovered'. How can someone so stupid become a CEO of a corporation?

BP had no clue what to do in the event of an oil leak at 5,000 feet underwater. BP executives had no contingency plans. They had no equipment or technology to even safely drill at those depths. So why were they allowed to do so?

It's obvious from day one of the BP disaster they were covering up the actual amount of oil spewing into the Gulf. But they hid that information in an attempt to lessen their liability. All they care about is themselves. And they are incapable of accepting responsibility or having any concern for the victims of their irresponsible acts.

So how can someone become a CEO of a major corporations when they have no clue what they are doing? How can they reach such heights of power in a corporation if they have no responsibility for what their corporations do?

2. He is in no way clueless.

He is saying what his PR team and army of attorneys are telling him to say. The typical American is listening to these sound bytes, ignoring the dull technical analysis and turning into American Idol in the full belief that this isn't the catastrophe that the "left wing media" is making it out to be.

8. I'm quite glad you speak for the typical American.

Turning into American Idol.

Right.

3. We are all stupid peasants to him.

He is one of our betters.

Do not question him, as he is superior to you and me, so everything he says is the absolute truth.

23. According to the Book of BP in my Corporate BIBLE:

Hayward 20: 3-6 "For it is stated in the book of BP, thee shalt have no other gods before me, for I am your corporate master. I, Tony of BP, am your god and I shalt enact great harm upon those who fail to succumb to my will. Thee shall bow down before me and obey my every command. Thee shalt not provoke me to anger, for if you continue to remain my loyal, subservient slaves, I will consider not inflicting great harm upon thee."


References: 2nd Commandment, Exodus 20 3-6, Kings 17:35, Jeremiah 25:6

4. Good, then he can't complain when BP goes bankrupt doing it.

5. As long as you're lying and the press won't call your bullshit...

May as well go for it.

And I LOVE the "We'll pay all damage claims" line. Riot.

19. And I LOVE the "We'll pay all damage claims" line. Riot.

You might have misunderstood him on that.

He was talking about the American people. Don't you know.

Climate change accelerated, food chains destroyed, lives lost, lives changed forever.

He needs to go to jail for murder. He may not have pushed the switch, but through past history bp has killed people through cost cutting and no regard for safety, so to me that shows intent. Let him pay a lot of personal money for this crime and spend time in jail until all things are back to the way they were.

6. what a montrous prick Hayward is

[earth mom]

7. There's your answer as to why they aren't plugging the hole.

9. He should start drinking it today, then.

[BelgianMadCow]

The nerves :nuke:

[subsuelo]

12. People like Hayward are gods in corporate run societies

Whatever they say, we're supposed to nod our heads and not question.

[metapunditedgy]

13. That is *EXACTLY* how people become executives. By feeding the world their bullshit.

If you can get away for it for a few years, you become CEO.

[usregimechange]

14. liar, and he will do none of the work

[spanone]

15. fuck you tony. the flim-flam man.

[tnlefty]

16. Drink up Tony and take your nauseating PR bullshit artists

with you. The oil and dispersants should taste really good. :toast: Assholes.:mad:

[kestrel91316]

18. Tony Hayward is COMPLETELY FULL OF SHIT.

[Angry Dragon]

20. Every post people make on the oil spill they should

add that the execs need to be tried for murder and more.

Say it until everyone is saying it, so no politician can run from it. Make the execs pay the price and not just in money. If the do not do jail time things like this will never stop.

24. I agree 10 billion percent. They need life sentences, no parole. They are evil...

I'm sick of sociopaths destroying my country. Corporations have destroyed everything in their paths like conquering armies, with each army having its own general, or CEO.

Countries are confined to its borders, but not so for corporations. Citizens have allegiances to their fellow countrymen, while corporations have allegiance to no one. They are driven by evil greed to invade, conquer, dominate and destroy. One by one countries will fall leaving corporations as the oppressors of all men...

21. And you know most of their expenses will be for defense lawyers.

very little will go to clean up.

22. Too late for April Fools pranks, Tony.

No one believes anything you say.

25. I can picture him writhing about in his office like Gollum...

wikipedia

It's MINE! My oil, my precious OIL! All of it is MINE!

The poor tortured soul. He can't sell oil that's not in his pipes.

26. That's great! ... Absolute Greed = Absolute Evil

We need to have a War on Greed. It is a virus that is destroying our country.
