How are we supposed to “Freep” this, exactly? I, for one, think Obama’s response was for the most part just fine. At least insofar as the main criticism against him (i.e. that he ignored it for too long) is concerned. Presidents are not supermen. I don’t want them puffing up their chests at every opportunity, nor meddling in every little thing.
As for what he’s been doing behind the scenes, and the public lashing out against BP, that’s no good.
All you see is ears, a flapping jaw, and a jacket that's two sizes too big*.

You forgot the teleprompters!
The level of the Leftist rhetoric is astounding.
Excellent video...thanks
For one thing he could have let Jindal have permission sooner to install sand burms on the barrier islands. This is action that was denied by a federal agency. A little heat on that dept would have sped up local action to protect the marches.
