Just whose ass is the President wanting to kick? After publicly declaring this week that he needs to know whose ass to kick regarding the Gulf disaster, perhaps he should start with himself.
Fifty plus days of oil flowing freely into the Gulf of Mexico and headed to the shores of the U.S. and the President can do nothing more than continue to blame BP. After all this time we are well aware that this is the fault of BP, but day after day the blame game continues and the oil just keeps heading for shore. Meanwhile very little seems to be getting done by his administration to help with the current need to capture oil on the surface before it hits shore. So why does the White House seem to be dragging their feet on the matter? In the words of Rhom Emanuel, "Never let a crisis go to waste!" The administration has to be acting on the premise that the longer it goes and the worse it gets, the stronger their position on passing the "Cap And Tax" energy legislation they so desperately want. The stronger their case for cleaner energy and for crippling the coal, oil and gas industry...all on the liberal left agenda. It's already happening by his order for a moratorium on offshore drilling. One must wonder if the President would shut down the entire freeway system if a bridge collapses, or at the very least shut down all bridge traffic in the country. The President is losing the battle of public opinion on this matter and deservedly so. His crisis management style amounts to nothing more than photo ops, threats of law suits, political posturing and a sprinkle of "Obama Dust" with plenty of finger pointing and blame.

Me thinks he doesn’t give a crap. He is top dog now and going to show those Southern crackers a thing or two about who is in charge.
