Oh look its president of BP; whathisname…
Probably saying something along the lines of,”yeah so those boats over there are all drifting around trying to think of a solution while I just sit here on my yacht”
If that’s actually what you think is happening, that the “boats are thinking of a solution”, then I’m pretty sure that you make BOTH the president of BP and the president of the US look smart.
“These are the skimmers we could be using if President Obama would just stop saying no!”
Seriously, Obama was offered the use of this skimmer that could clean up tons of the spilled oil and he said, “No, leave it where it is incase there’s a spill up there.”
So glad I voted for McCain. Too bad everyone else didn’t.
Wait, you’re right! Actions taken by his administration are like totally the “conservatards” responsibility, not his! Its not like he’s the boss of the agency that sent those skimmers packing!
Tis an absolute shame, that we Americans can actually vote. I miss the days of monarchy. How can America be the land of the free with all of this freedom.
Perhaps more people would have voted for him if he didn’t pick a moron as his VP. I know many people who voted for Obama mainly due to the wrong outdated policies of McCain, and the fact that he was so old and had an absolute dolt as the next in line.
uhuh, so last presidency I’m assuming you were one of those who went around saying, ‘Even if you don’t agree with the government you should follow it, because not agreeing with the leader in charge is unamurican.’ Now look at you people, hypocrites.
In time, we will look back and see the Election of 2010 for what it really was:
A popularity contest.
I don’t think anyone really even remembers what the issues were or if there was any difference in Obama’s and McCain’s platforms.
it’s too bad we have people like you voting for crappy presidents. i don’t want to live in communism, way to take the funny out of a good picture. douche.
It’s not really his ‘huge freaking mess’ though. It was a team of Americans operating the rig, and yet if you take the time to look through the entire British press you’ll see that we are not partaking in any American-bashing. Kindly return the favour. Instead of attacking us Brits, your Government should try working with them to fix this problem. Obama has two options. Look like a muppet for doing nothing but ranting about us, or look sensible by providing full resources and then dealing with blame afterwards. And which option has your noble leader opted for? It really is a shame that McCain chose Palin as a running mate. Really screwed his chances
Actually, it WAS the Brit’s fault – and Bush/Cheney’s fault. Bush/Cheney for removing the regulations and oversight that would have prevented BP, Transocean and Halliburton from cutting corners and the Brits (British Petroleum execs, not all the Brits. Most of the Brits are good and decent folks who would never dream of destroying the Gulf of Mexico).
As for President Obama doing something – what exactly would you have him do? Put on a wetsuit and snorkle and go down and personally put a cork in the pipe? The President has made all the resources we have available – and Tony Hayward and his evil minions have refused to avail themselves of them.
Had McCain won the election, he’d be partying with Tony “Heck of a Job there Haywardie”, and figuring ways to make the American people pay for BP and Transocean and Halliburton’s malfeasance.
The problem is, that douchecanoe on the boat there that is the ‘face’ of BP in the news… well, we hate him. And that hate transfers to BP. Unfair, perhaps, but that’s the way it goes. BP needs to fire his @ss and get a new spokesdouche with perhaps an ounce of sensitivity and public perception may change.
Please point out to me where I mentioned he was British. He’s the one sticking his foot in his mouth with ridiculous comments and actions, and being pushed aside by his own company for such comments and actions. I could care less where he’s from. The position of CEO, much like a country’s President, is where people are going to direct their ire, whether or not he might be PERSONALLY resonsible for all the shortcomings and shortcuts the people below him might have taken.
Incorrect. There are yachts in the picture. There is at least one sailboat. There appears to be a tug boat, though it may simply be a low-built fishing boat. There are blue-water fishing boats. None of them is large enough to be considered to be a ‘ship.’
Though, were I to accept your definition, I am glad to know that my twelve-foot pirogue, which has never been carried by a ship and never will be, is no longer considered to be a ‘boat.’
Correct. My amended definition is, a “boat” is a waterborne craft that can be carried by a ship.
However, incorrect. I see an oil-skimmer vessel in the picture. It LOOKS like a yacht to the casual observer, but those of us who actually work on seagoing ships know better. Also, there are no tugboats or deepwater fishing boats in this picture. All except the oil skimmer are oil rig service vessels – anchor handlers and supply vessels.
Also…having traveled the world for over 25 years in conjunction with my job and lived in several foreign countries, I can safely say that we’re all the same bunch of idiots regardless of what country we live in. No nation on Earth has a dearth of – or a monopoly on – stupidity. So please, let’s all lay off the trans-national insults.
fail
yes, ‘coz THOSE are SHIPS. :facepalm:
500 metric tons and above is called a ship …… common naval knowledge
Yacht = ‘boat.’
Tug = ‘boat.’
Blue-water fishing vessels = ‘boats.’
Sailboat (what the heck is that doing there?) = ‘boat.’
Being in the ocean on their own does not automatically make them ships.
This man knows his boats!
He’s clearly looking for Kyle. He’s about this tall.
Kyle went that way…
Wait Kyle? I saw him get in a van full of men. O_0
a white panel van full of men
A old rusty white panel van full of men
Little does he know that I live in Utah…
BP people in their full glory
Miren la belleza del golfo de Mexico
i have no idea what he is saying but since his name is lol it must be funny
Seconded
Look at the beauty of the Gulf of Mexico
that is what he is saying …(forgot to type that lol)
Second
FIRST
FAIL!!
lucky you
Oh look its president of BP; whathisname…
Probably saying something along the lines of,”yeah so those boats over there are all drifting around trying to think of a solution while I just sit here on my yacht”
phale
not a yacht
He raced a yacht while on the job. if you ask me, that’s a hellofajob.
>Oh look its president of BP; whathisname…
Douchebag?
If that’s actually what you think is happening, that the “boats are thinking of a solution”, then I’m pretty sure that you make BOTH the president of BP and the president of the US look smart.
Reminds me of Winston Rothschild III from the Red Green Show.
“…we come in a truck and leave in a day…”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Green_Show#Winston_Rothschild.2C_III
He’s clearly just looking for Kyle
“These are the skimmers we could be using if President Obama would just stop saying no!”
Seriously, Obama was offered the use of this skimmer that could clean up tons of the spilled oil and he said, “No, leave it where it is incase there’s a spill up there.”
So glad I voted for McCain. Too bad everyone else didn’t.
Yes, naturally everything is Obama’s fault.
There’s a site where conservatards sit around and whine about Obama. It’s called Pundit Kitchen.
Jamisings is the black hole of fun in the Cheezburger Network. No post goes by without her taking the humour out of it.
Wait, you’re right! Actions taken by his administration are like totally the “conservatards” responsibility, not his! Its not like he’s the boss of the agency that sent those skimmers packing!
You’re a genius!
“So glad I voted for McCain. Too bad everyone else didn’t.”
Sucks that you live in a democratic republic, don’t it?
I hate having civil liberties such as the right to vote…
Tis an absolute shame, that we Americans can actually vote. I miss the days of monarchy. How can America be the land of the free with all of this freedom.
North Korea is best Korea maybe?
Well, it’s at least second-best.
Perhaps more people would have voted for him if he didn’t pick a moron as his VP. I know many people who voted for Obama mainly due to the wrong outdated policies of McCain, and the fact that he was so old and had an absolute dolt as the next in line.
We reffer to those “outdated policies” as the United States Constitution, thanks.
uhuh, so last presidency I’m assuming you were one of those who went around saying, ‘Even if you don’t agree with the government you should follow it, because not agreeing with the leader in charge is unamurican.’ Now look at you people, hypocrites.

Dont you mean 2008?
obama wasnt elected in 2010
To be fair, the 2010 elections were a bunch of popularity contests too.
Africa isn’t a country?
it’s too bad we have people like you voting for crappy presidents. i don’t want to live in communism, way to take the funny out of a good picture. douche.
Idiocracy is what we have now. By the way, it’s been well over 6 months. By the way, have you noticed that McCain isn’t dead, captain oblivious?
seen kyle?
Kyle is taller
he is pointing from the water to his hand
Those…are boats. And in those boats are the “small people” that are going to clean up my HUGE FREAKIN’ MESS!
On a side note, have you seen Kyle? He might be on one of those boats. Seen Kyle? About so tall?
It’s not really his ‘huge freaking mess’ though. It was a team of Americans operating the rig, and yet if you take the time to look through the entire British press you’ll see that we are not partaking in any American-bashing.

Most of the Brits I work with wouldn’t even know where the Gulf of Mexico is…
(The US doesn’t have a monopoly on dumb*sses. We got them too, we call em ‘chavs’)
England calls them Chavs. Scotland calls them Neds and Wales calls them upstanding citizens. There is no one universal word
The problem is, that douchecanoe on the boat there that is the ‘face’ of BP in the news… well, we hate him. And that hate transfers to BP. Unfair, perhaps, but that’s the way it goes.

omg! i think i made this one! {rebe83}
THIS, Isn’t funny!
He actually has excellent eyesight.
Shame he’s actually pointing to some seagulls.
If he said that, it would be the first honest thing to come out of that guys mouth…
Thank you Captain obvious!
This is supposed to be funny? Seriously!?
captain obvious strikes again!
I think that’s called a ‘butt’.
Ooh, look at me, I’m gonna go touch the butt! థ౪థ
Awww, you guys made me ink!
Incorrect. Those are “ships.” A “boat” is a waterborne craft that is carried by a ship.
