BP CEO: 'too many people working to save the world.'
Edited on Mon May-24-10 10:12 PM by kpete
In July 2009, at a lecture to the Stanford Business School, the CEO of British Petroleum Tony Hayward explains to attendees that BP was going in the wrong direction before he took over as CEO because, “we had too many people that were working to save the world.“

2. Un-effing-believable. May he rot in hell. The campaign I'd like to see
happen would be like the French campaign to protest Sarcozy that involved a Sarcozy voo-doo doll. I'd love to have one for that piece of BP sh*t, I'd love him to know that thousands of people had a such a doll and were wishing him the worse day after day, night after night. I think it'd be extremely cathartic.

6. I hope the students at the business school at Stanford don't emulate this piece of scum
Just because some 6 or 7 figure administrators invite scum like him for students to model his shitting on the world

8. Funny but sad.
The photos of the petroleum coated birds who will all die are breaking my heart. The toxins will poisin the ecology of the afflicted areas for decades to come. Moving FAST is important.

10. So ironic..right about now, what we all need is for his engineers to 'save the world'
from the tragic decisions of BP's own executives.
