“I have directed BP to plug the leak ...”
Thank, god, it might not have occurred to BP to plug the leak if not for obummer’s stepping in after weeks of diddling.
Did the moron-in-chief really say that? What did he think they were planning to do before that- NOT plug the leak???
This is so much like "I am in charge here" that got Haig into so much trouble when RR was shot.
