Carl Icahn thinks Occidental Petroleum's CEO got played by the Oracle of Omaha himself in the company's effort to buy Anadarko Petroleum.

, Buffett would receive 100,000 shares of cumulative perpetual preferred stock with a value of $100,000 per share. That stock would accrue an annual dividend of 8%. Berkshire would also get a warrant to buy up to 80 million Occidental shares at $62.50 per share a 15% discount from Friday's close of $73.38.

Icahn blasted the deal after it was announced, criticizing the lack of shareholder input in what he considers an overly expensive acquisition that could put the company in danger if oil prices dropped. Since then, Icahn has launched a proxy fight in which he's aiming to replace four Occidental directors. Icahn owns 4.4% of Occidental's shares outstanding.

Hollub said in a letter to shareholders on Monday that "none" of Icahn's nominees to the board "possess skills, experience or expertise that are additive or superior to our existing directors," adding: "Mr. Icahn's own statements demonstrate that he does not understand or support the strategic and financial merits of the acquisition and we believe that his Board nominees would interfere with our ability to successfully integrate Anadarko's valuable assets.

Sour grapes don’t look good on you, Carl Carl_C_Icahn

Carl Icahn is a blowhole!

What do you expect from Mr.Buffet. He is cancer to capitalism in the current from. He could not make profit hence he was mad but he is silent on Wells Fargo and other companies because he makes tons of $$.

Can’t blame Buffett for taking advantage of a very naive, egotistical Hollub! Instead of doing in-depth research she decided to buy APC at any cost with Board approval! Icahn’s nominees couldn’t be any less savvy!
