Obama: I Want To Know 'Whose Ass To Kick' On Oil Spill (VIDEO)

Don't make him use the drones.

Hmmm...Is this language (ass to kick) a Chicago thing? He was just back in Chicago recently, right?

The Chicago mayor recently, and I kid you not, answered a reporter's question about gun control by suggesting that if he (the mayor) shoved a rifle up the reporter's ass and pulled the trigger, it wouldn't feel good, so therefore the reporter should appreciate gun control.

I kid you not.

Wow. Obama said "ass". That's way beyond "street". That's gangsta.

This is not the man I voted for. I voted for the calm, reserved, smart, in-control Obama. I did not vote for Bruce Banner.

It's kinda cool that he's being 'gangsta,' but it's beneath him.

If I want gangsta, I'll listen to Ice Cube, and I mean the young Gehri Curl Ice Cube, not Family Movie Ice Cube.

I guess every man has his political-pressure level.

I watched in horror last night as Keith Olbermann said, after seeing pictures of oiled pelicans, that this disaster was 'worse than Katrina.'

Did he forget the dozens of bodies floating in the fetid waters of New Orleans, left to rot for days, even weeks?

Oh, but those were those people of color, mainly, and they count for much less than those endangered pelicans.

Good thing this is oil and damage to sea creatures and plants so our new president who was going to change things can get angry and do something because if it had just been a few thousand dead soldiers and a war fought with questionable reasons and facts... well... a few thousand dead unimportant volunteer patriots aren't really worthy of investigation, now, are they... especially when important politicians may become embarrassed and the two mobs in Washington might lose face...
It is pretty easy to see the values and priorities our leaders possess in this new improved nation of ours...

The part of the interview that's getting no attention is that our President, Obamabots' Mr. Wonderful, HAS NOT even SPOKEN with Tony Haywood, the man most responsible for the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history! I know, Obama would rather delegate his anger. Soooo corporate, sooo pathetic. And according to Richard Wolff in his book, the President knew the scope of this disaster 24 hours after it happened! How 'bout picking up the fucking phone Mr. President and demand answers, like "hey Tony, what's going on, what's the backup plan, do you have one? And I need those answers in 24 hours!" Then when he finds out there's no backup plan, well then it's time to take action. Instead this President waits 30 fucking days while BP works off the back of a fucking envelope to come up with a 'fix'! Beyond belief! This asshole Haywood, CEO of a foreign company, runs his oil operation in America on the cheap, resulting in 11 American worker deaths and is responsible for an almost unimaginable environmental and economic disaster AND IS NOT EVEN SQUEEZED or THREATENED! God save us from this President. Getting tough on TV with Matt Lauer is the best he can do?

I am as pissed about this whole thing as anyone but this is really lame media..

The president said he talks to experts so he 'knows whose ass to kick'.

The title and all suggests that the president doesn't 'know' whose ass to kick.

And frankly he made the statement in my view because his interviewer talked about wanting him to kick some butt.

I am pissed of at the president over plenty of things but the sloppiness of the media and irresponsible 'titles' also piss me off.

I wish Obama would break a sweat on this testament to greed, free-market fundamentalism and criminal negligence by pivoting on energy policy and economic stimulus. If past experience is any indication, he'll mail this one in, too, but I keep hoping someone in his circle of counselors/courtiers will rouse him from his complacently incremental approach to governing.
