Obama to aides: 'Plug the damn hole' By Eric Zimmermann - 05/25/10 11:48 AM ET
As critics question whether the White House is being tough enough with BP, Obama is reportedly showing his frustration behind closed doors:
Since the oil rig exploded, the White House has tried to project a posture that is unflappable and in command.
But to those tasked with keeping the president apprised of the disaster, Obama's clenched jaw is becoming an increasingly familiar sight. During one of those sessions in the Oval Office the first week after the spill, a president who rarely vents his frustration cut his aides short, according to one who was there.
"Plug the damn hole," Obama told them.

Sources say it was not clear if he was referencing the BP oil leak in the Gulf, or Joe Biden.

Reminds me of Caligula flogging the ocean because he couldn't get his invasion fleet to England. Obama has become so delusional that he things that his decree defines reality.

Kagen, Holder, Napolitano, Pelosi, and Reid should fit quite nicely...

Barking Obama lets loose with another brilliant statement, not seen on the his teleprompter. Coming from a clueless organizer of community illiterates this is not surprising.

by that I’m sure he meant,
“Plug your pie hole! I don’t want to hear about problems! I want to play golf and be worshiped!”

Instead of “under the bus” - Obama’s gonna start “stuffing them in the hole”.
