BP/Obama

Does anyone else think that it is about time our new PM got on the phone to point out a few facts to the beleagured US President, before he ruins the lives of rather a large number of British pensioners? BP has not been “British Petroleum” for about 15 years. Nearly 40% of the company is US owned – onother 40% is British. Several members of the main board of directors are Americans.

Obama has found just what he needed to try to boost his flagging ratings at home and to cover up his less than energetic response to the crisis. He cannot afford to be tarred with the Bush-response-to-catastrophe brush.
