Barack Obama will spend all of twenty minutes meeting with BP executives at the White House tomorrow, according to a White House release of the president's schedule for Wednesday--a meeting that Obama demanded.

CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller posted about the meeting on Twitter this evening:

Tomorrow at the WH: Obama's schedule shows him spending just 20 minutes in the meeting with BP executives at 1015am. about 1 hour ago via web

Knoller also Tweeted that Obama will make a statement about the meeting at 12:15 p.m. from the Rose Garden.

Obama spent four hours playing golf on Sunday. That would be about three hours and forty minutes longer than he is planning to meet with the BP executives over what Obama has called the worst environmental disaster in our nation's history.

Obama has also compared the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and World War II.

Twenty minutes.

I wonder how long it takes him to play two holes of golf?

[tips up]

C’mon. If he spends more time with them he’ll miss his tee time. Give the guy a break.

All Hail Il Douche!

I guess Zero is not seriously worried about the matter, eh?

[Man50D]

That’s all the time BO/BS will need to shakedown BP.

[Dallas59]

He already knows everything about oil spills...he doesn’t need to listen to other “peeple”

[ClearCase_guy]

I bet his opening remarks in the meeting take about 15 minutes. He's not interested in dialogue. He's not interested in talking with people who clearly are smarter and more knowledgeable than he is.

Isn't he due for another vacation?

[allmost]

It’s only symbolic. Any thinking person can deduce that. Short and sweet. Let one of them get back to important business and the other one can get back to golf.

When is “T” time?

[dfwgator]

It’s all a “Dog and Pony Show”.

[Cementjungle]

20 minutes should be just enough to get the lighting right and get some good press photos.

[4rcane]

obama is really clueless on leading anything, thats why he has all these czars, so he could push responsibility onto someone else and use them as scapegoats when things fail

[BitWielder1]

Great, he meets with Andy Stern every week while his Generals and critically important executives get a few minutes after waiting for months.
He has all of his priorities backwards.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Shhhhh! We're brain-storming on the oil spill!

[stephenjohnbanker]

BP, tell Obama to go F himself.

[The Comedian]

1 minute to say "I" 14 times in some rambling, pointless diatribe, and 19 minutes to have Rahm come in to supply the detailed list of slush fund recipients BP will be contributing to.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[dfwgator]

"And now for something completely different...a man with a tape recorder up his nose."

[stephenjohnbanker]

” That’s all the time BO/BS will need to shakedown BP.”

BP is not an American company. If BP allows itself to be shaken down, BP deserves everything they get.

[Rebelbase]

Twenty minutes is long enough to give someone a good talkin’to.
