200,000 Gallons A Day

And today while the BP guy watched the Yacht race Obama played golf!!?

[Bonny]

What does the BP guy & BO care it is Fathers Day. Let the oil plug up the Gulf it will be there tomorrow who cares?!?!?! While birds & fish die, people are now unemployed & the Gulf is one big pile of oil sludge. WHOOOPPPEEEE! For those who are unresponsible! A-- H----!

[Lady's Human]

What effects, praytell, would the presence of the CEO of BP and/or President Obama have on the situation in the Gulf?

None.

Instead of working to fix things, the people involved would be playing kiss *** with the brass.

Lady's Human, I always thought you started at the top & worked your way down to the bottom? In this situration I don't thing either end makes any difference.

I have to laugh at all the grandstanding in DC over this.

They grilled the CEO of the company about the well in question, and the media went nuts when the CEO didn't know the specifics involved with THAT well.

If they had the site engineer on the stand and he didn't know, there's a problem.

The CEO is probably an MBA or equivalent. Not an engineer, not a part of the drilling crew, he oversees the operations of BP on a global basis.

To make a military comparison, the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shouldn't be on the stand answering questions about the actions of a Lieutenant in charge of a platoon, and shouldn't be expected to know the details of what the Lieutenant was doing.

You can delegate authority but not responsibility. Something our political "leaders" would do well to remember.

So, yes, it speaks volumes to see CONgress grill him about not knowing the day to day details of how a rig runs. It just reinforces the fact that very, very few of those clowns have any idea what running a buisness is all about.


To add a military comparison... I had the 'joy' of giving a ride and tour to a 2 star general who spent his whole career in Quartermaster Corps (Supply, aka bean counter.) My very first words to him before he touched the tank. "Sir, do not touch ANYthing with out asking first. This thing is built to kill and it does not care who it kills. Also, the only thing soft in there is YOU." Ya shoulda seen to look I got. "How dare this Sergeant talk to me like that." LOL Not 20 seconds inside and he bumped his head, hard, on the Commanders sight extension. "See, I told ya so, Sir."

Big time leader who's job was to give us go juice and bullets. Does not mean he knew dookie about what happened after that. I didn't know the details of HOW the stuff got to us. I just know that it did.

Just heard over the weekend that Nancy Pelosi moved into her new offices, that will cost us 225,000 a year in rent. I was mad at first, then heard they were green office spaces.

That kinda sucks because she ain't gonna be in there for long.

Effing moron.
