    An hour of BP doing Q&A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLnMq_LsiFo


    Only one gaff where he accidentally insists he is doing he can to prevent a solution working

    To be fair that is his name though I believe he prefers use of his first not middle name so its at very least impolite. USA is founded on immigration so the implication that a more foreign name is a negative is pathetic and propaganda like ,which politics is full of

    It was pretty disappointing that Obama would use similar tactics on misnaming BP which wasnt even correct or upto date information but that is politics unfortunately

    When the Admisitration stop the 'witch-hunt' of BP I will be prepared to be better mannered.
    For myself I am an optimist - there does not seem to be much use being anything else.

    According to my trading model, should BP trade at £3.40 the current down trend will have ended. This does not mean the stock is a buy but it does mean shorts should be covered.

    So why not refer to him as that misguided Obama or even that fool Obama.
    You prefer that black Obama, as if his colour or ethnicity has anything to do with his intelligence, integrity or ability.
    I think you have made your point very well. Shame on you.

    I never brought up his colour, I never used the degoratory word with asterisks - you did. You are seeing things that were not there. If I had to listen to a Hawaiian I would choose
    Israel Kamakawiwo'ole much more soothing.

    I presented a cloth and you took that cloth and made a strait-jacket for yourself.

    Oh, and fairtrade, if you wish to "report me" for racial abuse as you say you are thinking about in your PM, please think about it no longer. Just get on with it.
    Interesting! And I though others may find it interesting also. Why keep it private?

    Has no one reported this Thomp person? I have come across this post in three threads now and have been reading on line for ten minutes. There is something to be said for ignoring them I suppose.
