Carl-Henric Svanbergth
(face behind BP mask)
White House senior administration officials have summoned the Chairman Of BP Oil - a shadowy figure by the name of Carl-Henric Svanbergth (in addition to CEO Tony Hayward and BP’s top executives) - to a closed-door meeting on June 16th to probe the width-and-breadth of the oil-spill crisis.
At press time, sources close to the President acknowledged that the Commander-in-Chief would be participating in some of the intense discussions, that will obviously go down before the dust settles.
Pundits who have questioned the way the President has handled the BP crisis, thus far, are now chortling that - if anything - Obama’s shortcomings have unified the British Press.
The headlines have been devastating for the White House overseas.
One daily described Barack Obama’s debacle this way:
“Explicable but despicable.”
And, a handful top-level Officials are accusing outright, that Obama’s ineffectiveness (wanton negligence and disregard for their Corporate entities) has financially burdened the backs of Brits.
“The elderly rely on BP dividends from BP to survive in these tough economic time,” one irate Politician noted for the record.
However, the Mayor of London overstepped the line - in my opiniion - when he alleged that Obama was "roasting" BP and its Corporate Brass because he "hates" Brits.
Hogwash!
Fleet street madness at its worst.
I laughed out loud when one political analyst on Fox wondered aloud why Barrack Obama held back so long in meeting with CEO Tony Hayward, and his boss, the Chairman of the BP Board.
“He’s the President of the United States. The executives at the oil giant are merely in charge of a company," he snorted, in so many words.
"Obama has the upper hand,” he summed up to panelists who gave their nod of "right on" from the sidelines.
Duh!
The namby-pamby accusations about Barack Obama come to the fore again.
Well, at least he didn't tour the disaster area in Mom jeans.
Wouldn’t it be refreshing to hear Barack Obama utter a memorable quote from the Academy award-winning film - Network - starring William Holden.
Uh-huh.
It goes something like this:
“I’m mad as hell and I’m not taking it anymore.”
