Heard on MSNBC's "Morning Joe": speculation that Obama's picking up on NBC's Matt Lauer's 'kicking butt' BP observation caused Obama to follow up with the ass-kicking comment. Watch Lauer's Tuesday 'Today' interview and Obama's response.
"I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick."
"Morning Joe" brought up race to justify the ass-dragging president's lifeless responses to the BP oil disaster. As in if Obama displays anger, it's a black thing as suggested by Matt Drudge's 'Obama Goes Street.'
The "Morning Joe" talking heads conveniently forget how angry and frustrated Obama was over the health care debate. The presidentl took that anger to town hall meetings to inflame the media.
The only phrase relevant to Obama's sorry performance? Cover your ass.



Wow. Spewing the tritest of cliches that are supposed to be tough-sounding, but are so overused that they just induce yawns. Great job, Barry!
ReplyDeleteNot long ago, we had AG Eric Holder dig deep into his bag of rhetorical tricks when asked what would happen if terror master KSM is tried in NYC and somehow winds up acquitted. Holder hitched up his pants, squinted his eyes, and announced that failure is not an option.
And this is from the rabid wing of the party that has the balls to call Bush stupid and shallow?
What do you mean the President didn't react fast enough?
ReplyDeleteDidn't he have Holder dispatch lawyers to Louisiana?

That's it!
ReplyDeletePlug the damned hole with lawyers!
Oily lawyers? I don't know Jim. At $250 an hour that could get expensive.

Relax guys Obama is spending BP's money.
ReplyDeleteHey Obama's is an ex-community organizer. Maybe he could organize a community to go down south and mop up oil? Plenty of unemployed down there.
ReplyDeletegonna make this short, trying to watch the election results, obama looks weak and pathetic and he's going down
ReplyDeleteOne would have to think even the most devout of disciples would be having serious doubts about The One by now.....
ReplyDeleteDid you ever see the Sean Connery and Michael Caine movie "The Man Who Would Be King"? This is Obama. The tribe thinks Connery, a British soldier, is a god and when his unwilling bride to be hits him and draws blood, the tribe realizes he's a mortal and... well I won't tell you how it ends.
