If I could defend President Obama for one moment, I hate the idea that after a disaster the president is supposed to fly over there and look all concerned and stuff. That keeps coming up with Obama the same as with Bush and it is asinine. Here’s what I’d say to that if I were president:
“I know you all want me to go to the disaster and look all concerned, but that’s idiotic. I’m the President of the United States — I have this whole country to take care of. Having me go someplace and stack sandbags or what not is idiotic and makes me want to punch you people for suggesting. In fact, after this press conference, I will punch a few of you though I won’t announce who ahead of time. Still, if it’s that important to you dimwits to believe I care, here’s my concerned face. Take a picture. Then photoshop me in whatever situation it would help you feel better to see me standing around all useless and concerned looking. Now I need to find and kill some foreigners I can blame for this mess.”
You know, I could see Obama saying exactly that. If you took out all the words except “me,” “I,” and “my.”
Would you do that before or after going on vacation?

I need to find my butt and kick it.
I can see him saying all of that — especially the calling folks dimwits part — but I don’t buy the punching part or killing anyone.
But, if he looks half as silly punching someone out as he does pitching a baseball, it could be amusing to watch.
I think Obama and BP would have a lot more credibility if they both would just admit the obvious – this is a job for Superman.
Democrats set themselves up as the mommy party. They feel your pain, they understand all your problems – not like those mean old republicans. So when you get seriously hurt and your mommy doesn’t come to see you and bring you some soup then you kinda get the feeling she doesn’t care.
Maybe some liberals will wise up to the fact that mommy Obama doesn’t really love them.
Is it ridiculous to expect the government to be your mommy? Hell yes. Am I going to defend Obama when he doesn’t live up to his own party’s ridiculous standard? Hell no.
Obama set up the “I am Superman-mommy” standard and now can’t live up to it. It’s what they tried to hold Bush to, although he never claimed anything like it.That’s why the pmsnbc crowd last night freaked out. They believed their own BS about the man and now can’t bring reality to match the fantasy.
anyone remember that really bad Japanese show about the giant robot with an atomic punch? “Giant Robo…ATOMIC PUNCH punch punch..” How about GIANT OBAMO….sissy punch.
Have you noticed the inverse correlation between his approval rating and the damage he and Reid / Pelosi are doing to the country? By the time it totally tanks, the States will be left with no choice but “Nullification.”
IObama needs to find his butt and kick it.Fixed it for ya!
…find his butt…
This looks like a job for 2 mirrors and a map!
I agree. Presidents don’t need to do photo ops and flybys.
Instead, President Obama should have marshalled resources,
cut red tape that prevented local Govts. from protecting their shores,
had someone immediatly in contact with BP while oil experts
co-ordinated the effort to stop the gusher and prevent landfall of the oil.
This, while promising America that the freedom of Americans to invest, work, and produce wealth is paramount to her security , so there will be new opportunities to produce the oil we need on shore, and nearer the shore than the distant, deep wells that radical environmentalism have made necessary,
you know,
just like any other wise, competent executive would d…HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Hey, HERE’S a wise, competent man.
Well said Storm and Cat.
