[QUOTE=doomkiwi;22745437]Weeeeeeeeeeell... that's not what a few recent reports have stated... You know, the leaked ones about cutting cost measures and keeping the damn rig afloat even though everyone knew it was a piece of shit.[/QUOTE] then on the other hand, you know everyone tries to blame the guy for some dickhat slackers causing an oil spill, you'd be surprised at how many people Hitler hasn't killed compared to how man they say he has, and this is just a lesser issue blown out of proportion I'd say cut the guy some slack, he's probably doing all in his resources to stop it
I think if I'd had to spend 4 hours being hammered by angry politicians I'd want a break as well.
I don't get what's wrong with that. Nobody can expect him to work 24/7 for 2 months.
so what? he took a few hours off out of the entire week to spend time with his family terrible article
hang him
[QUOTE=Neckbeard;22745123]You'd think that he has more pressing issues at hand.[/QUOTE] It's not like he can clear the oil up personally. He probably doesn't even control the people who do clear it up. I'm guessing BP have a team that deal with emergencies like this. Also, its not like he caused the leak himself. People need to stop blaming him for things that are most likely out of his control.
[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;22747389]If I were a CEO of an Oil Company that was responsible for one of the largest oil spills in history and it is still leaking I wouldn't really take such a day off.[/QUOTE] Bullshit.
Also, he's been replaced as the overseer of the spill cleanup, so he isn't exactly obligated to conduct himself as if he still was.
Wow, a person takes a day off, people outraged...
[QUOTE=johanz;22756392]Wow, a person takes a day off, people outraged...[/QUOTE] It reminds me of how Obama took breaks and everyone got pissed. Do you guys remember the deal with Obama drinking a beer at a basketball game? People were outraged because he "should have been dealing with the financial crisis" and other bullshit.

One of the reasons not many smart people want high power is because people bash them for being people too.
Holy asscrackers! A stressed man taking a day off! [B]BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!!!![/B] Seriously, why the hell is this in the news? Even the CEO of a crap corporation has gotta have a little R&R sometime.

[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;22744859] What kind of dumbass names their yacht Bob?[/QUOTE] A genius! I've just got it. What do yachts to while they're in the sea?
[QUOTE=Splurgy;22758060]A genius! I've just got it. What do yachts to while they're in the sea?[/QUOTE] God damn you I just game up with that exact pun fuck your mother. :saddowns:
What is he supposed to do? Take a bucket and sift out oil from the ocean?
[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;22759608]What is he supposed to do? Take a bucket and sift out oil from the ocean?[/QUOTE] Actually I would have a great deal more respect for the man if he actually [i]did[/i] go out and do some actual cleanup work. He won't help much, but it sends a very good message.
He better watch out or Obama'll come kick his ass.
I wouldn't be at all suprised if he got assassinated. I wouldn't be at all upset either.
[QUOTE=Pandemix;22760103]I wouldn't be at all suprised if he got assassinated. I wouldn't be at all upset either.[/QUOTE] What would that solve?
I wish people would stop laying the blame on these CEOs and other people and instead work on fixing the problem. :sigh:
BP CEO takes a break to go take a shit in water that is still clear World gets pissed
Holy crap, the guy took a day off. Besides, the government already made it their problem, what does he have to worry about?
[QUOTE=Pandemix;22760103]I wouldn't be at all suprised if he got assassinated. I wouldn't be at all upset either.[/QUOTE] How the fuck will that help anything?
[QUOTE=Neckbeard;22745123]You'd think that he has more pressing issues at hand.[/QUOTE] What is he supposed to do? I mean, really? Think logically. :/

People were outraged because he "should have been dealing with the financial crisis" and other bullshit.[/QUOTE] The biggest irony of that is that the majority of the people bashing him were the stereotypical Republican band-wagoners who didn't care when Bush took 154 vacation days in a single year during a fucking war.
[QUOTE=Pandemix;22760103]I wouldn't be at all suprised if he got assassinated. I wouldn't be at all upset either.[/QUOTE] you wouldn't care if he died because his company had a role in an offshore oil rig leaking oil? sounds kinda ridiculous to me. it's not like he dove down and put a bomb on the oil pipeline trying to sabotage it. there was neglect and insensitive comments made but he that's kinda ignorant of you tbh.
[QUOTE=SKuM;22763003]The biggest irony of that is that the majority of the people bashing him were the stereotypical Republican band-wagoners who didn't care when Bush took 154 vacation days in a single year during a fucking war.[/QUOTE] That wasn't my point at all, and I think it's ironic that both sides place blame on each other when they do similar shit.
If you've ever heard the phrase "The buck stops here," you know exactly why people are outraged when people in power decide to be human and take a break.
[QUOTE]by saying no one wanted to resolve the crisis as badly as he did because "I'd like my life back."[/QUOTE] Must admit, that's fucking badass.
