The leaks in the media regarding the resignation /firing/hit the road jack of BP Chief Executive Tony Hayward…appear to be as real as the oil leak in the Gulf that took place for 3 months. BP has FINALLY announced that Tony Hayward will be replaced on October 1st by Bob Dudley.
Little question: What took the BP Board so long to shit-can/mutually resign this guy? How many times did Tony need to do the wrong thing and say the wrong thing? Most people don’t get that many chances to screw up their jobs. I’ve heard of people being fired from McDonald’s for mixing up burger orders with McNuggets.
Tony Hayward is a PR nightmare. Most Public Relations firms would have committed harry canary with his numerous goofs and gaffes.
Goof #1…Tony tried to blame the oil spill on someone else…anyone. I think he first tried to blame it on The Beav…and then he tried Transocean.
Gaffe #2 …Tony stated that the amount of oil pouring into the Gulf was “tiny” compared to the volume of water in the Gulf. (But a lot of oil for his Olympic-sized pool.)
Goof #3…Tony left the Gulf to see his 52-foot yacht compete in a race off the coast of England during the height of the oil crisis.
Gaffe #4…Tony said he wanted to resolve the oil spill crisis because he “wanted his life back.”
Goof #5…Tony stated that the “environmental impact of this disaster is likely to be very, very modest.”
Gaffe #6…When asked about whether he was able to sleep at night in light of the oil spill’s disastrous effects…Tony stated “Of course I can.”
I’m not sure what is cruder…the millions of gallons of oil spewed into the Gulf or Tony Hayward’s comments.

Anywho........
I know…it’s hard to blame this whole disaster on Hayward. It’s not all Tony’s fault. It’s just FINALLY time for Tony to take his billions of dollars and get back to his yacht…back to his un-real life...because Tony just doesn’t "get it." Tony doesn't seem to grasp the real toll this crisis has taken on the real people who live on the Gulf coast.
Tony Hayward’s public persona and managing of the Gulf oil spill are like oil and water…they do not mix.
