Tony Hayward's greatest hits

May 31, 2010

    Hayward told reporters, "The first thing to say is I'm sorry." However, he continued, "We're sorry for the massive disruption it's caused their lives. There's no one who wants this over more than I do. I would like my life back."

    He might just get his life back soon enough. That is, if he's fired. Hayward said a couple of weeks ago, "I don't feel my job is on the line, but of course that might change." President Barack Obama recently told the Today Show's Matt Lauer that he would have fired Hayward by now.

    In his first interview with investors and analysts since the spill, the gaffe-prone executive didn't fail to deliver a one-liner for which he's become infamous. In response to his handling of the poor press, he said, "I'm a Brit, I can take it." This latest line won't improve his perception among Americans, or with anyone for that matter.
