President Obama said at his BP press conference that when he was shaving the other day, his daughter Malia asked him, "Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?"
If Obama wanted to give her a quick lesson in how the world works, he might have said: "No, dear, that's beyond my capacity. I can't stop oil from gushing from a well 5,000 feet beneath the ocean's surface. Now, did you do your homework?"
Malia can be forgiven for not understanding the limits on her daddy's power. She's 11 years old. What's everyone else's excuse?
If the presidency of the United States is the most powerful and majestic office on Earth, it does not confer omnipotence on the mere mortal who happens to occupy it.
Perhaps Obama himself needs to be reminded. A White House aide told a reporter that the president, in a fit of frustration, barked to his aides during one meeting, "Plug the damn hole." That's a meaningless order with the world's best engineers already desperately trying to solve a hellish technical problem.

as an aside- Hasn’t Malia been 11 since 2008?
“Did you plug the hole yet Daddy?”
“Honey, look at my hands. They don’t have mud and oil on them. Lots of hardworking Americans are working around the clock to plug that hole. They are our true hope and our true heroes. I will see that you meet them when they succeed”
After that they went on to discuss nuclear proliferation. And Obozo assured her that “I’m in charge here.”
Nostalgia time with Zer0.
Do these people ever come up with anything original?
Biden is such a friggin’ Mini-me. What a tool.
I call BS, she did not say that or was coached, JMO.
This Gulf oil spill is the perfect metaphor for the Obama administration. Starts with an explosion....followed by a disaster that will take generations to recover from.
"ALOHA"
It’s only been 40 days. Give him some time. Soon he’ll jump into the Gulf with a knife between his teeth and stab the evil oil to death.
He can’t “bungle”. The American people and their news media have declared him the victor no matter what.
Thanks! I’ve got it as an actual bumper-sticker here: http://www.zazzle.com/obuttocks_bumper_sticker-128984075486474025?gl=oceander
