4:36 (Dow Jones) Leaving the White House yesterday, BP CEO Tony Hayward looked a lot like the big-bank heads after their November 2008 meeting with then President Bush when they agreed to accept TARP, Peter Atwater says at Minyanville. Similar to bank CEOs, "Hayward had just been voluntold to turn over $20 billion" to Uncle Sam. Voluntold? Urban Dictionary says it's "used in reference to an unpleasant task to which you have been assigned by your boss," Atwater notes. He's no BP defender, "but being voluntold feels very unsettling to me," especially as it now seems more norm than exception. And "bondholders through to the shareholders of the world's largest companies now face a substantial risk of being 'voluntold' should something bad happen."
