All I can say is that its a sad day when oil companies feel the need to choose as directors politically connected law professors.

This is a disgusting move. She's probably a community organizer, or at least drove around in a choomwagon. ...a breach of fiduciary responsibility to shareholders.

Political pandering at its worst.

She is as qualifed to be on their Board as Obama is to be running the country. Both have done, and will continue to do terrible damage.

They want a pipeline to the WH? It works both ways....B0 doesn't think anything is secret from HIM.

Are they thinking he'll be re-elected? UGH

Might be time to bail on COP if Mgmt is getting soft and fuzzy

I want to ask Professor Freedman three questions about climate change. Is the earth in a more natural state when in an ice age or in an inter-glacial period? And how do we know which one is normal? Thereby, how do we know when climate change is good or bad?

If I keep my COP shares after this less than smart move I won't be letting this bunch of directors vote my shares.

What a shock putting a lefty on the board of directors. Well, if there is a sell off, I will buy more shares. I will also vote against her (remember the name folks) until she is driven off the board. I will also start voting my shares as I can no longer trust this board.
