David Cameron to discuss BP crisis with President Obama

Prime Minister David Cameron is to be said to have a gathering with President Obama this weekend to discuss the measurements that have to be taken to clean up the mess left by BP, after an oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ocean.
President Obama, his aggressive public speech against a company that officials in his administration have made a point of calling “British Petroleum” threatens to turn the issue into a diplomatic row. Mr Cameron however stays calm and figures that talking about what has happened and wanting to try and make a wrong, right will only be a matter of time. However if it was up to President Obama, head of BP Tony Hayward would be sacked as a manner of taking his responsibility for what has happened. Sarah Palin advised on her Twitter feed against “naively trusting ... foreign oil co operations”. However it is due to present revised plans for dealing with the spill tomorrow, and the fact that Mr Hayward has to appear before the Congress Energy and Commerce Committee next week that this disaster will be dealt with hands on working along side each other UK and USA.

My reaction:

I must say reading this article I agree with President Obama. Somebody must take responsibility for what has happened and who better then Mr Tony Hayward, head of BP. To my opinion this would seem like the proper thing to do. I figure that millions of people and not to forget animals suffer due to this disaster and fingers are pointed in different directions.I do imagine it is very difficult for Mr Hayward to say: I am sorry for the trouble that has been caused due to this leakage and I take full responsibility as head of BP for what has happened and therefore I lay down my function as head of BP.
