..and this from The Guardian, a "leftie" paper! Oh, please! That "affable geologist" is a greedy corporate pig who tried to drill oil on the cheap and caused the worst environmental disaster this country has ever seen. It's not anti-British to expect him to take the blame and responsibility, but after spending the last week in London, I can tell you the Brits are circling the wagons around him :wtf: :shrug:. Here's the article, and also some comments from the Daily Mail.

Too bad we didn't just beat the England team into the ground today!!!


"Using this tragic accident for political postureing is reprehensible. I don't know about sacking Tony Hayward, I couldn't care less one way or the other, it wasn't his fault but he is big enough to look after himself. But I think Obama should look to his own sacking by the American people with a bit of luck.
All his anti British rhetoric shames him after our troops are dying out in afghanistan shoulder to shoulder with American troops, and all whilst he holidays, and parties with the film stars he loves so much, hateful man."

"Obama keep your nose out, and we will keep our troops out of your war zones, fight your own wars your not fit for purpose."

I believe it is IMPOSSIBLE to overestimate the stupidity of the American voter. A high percentage of them have never seen the sea and have no passports. God invented war to teach them geography. Their hypocrisy is legendary. They spent millions in Italy bankrolling political parties and destabilising the government because they had a delusion that the country was going communist (and if it did what business was it of theirs?) but it is illegal for US political parties to take foreign money. Barrack Obama is just another US politician who can hardly string a sentence together, hence the speaking in lumps of three or four words with big pauses, just like who... Oh yes, Tony Bliar. If he hadn't been black, Obama would never have been elected and the Americans have noticed that he hasn't a clue (or some of them anyway)."
