Obama’s premise makes no sense. If he were head of BP, he would have fired the CEO? That would mean he would have fired himself. Really stupid statement.
That is his main "accomplishment" - making stupid statements.
"57 states"
Austrian citizens speak "Austrian"
"police acted stupidly"
et cetera ...
Somebody needs to explain to our constitutional scholar: It's not his job to "kick ass." or fire CEO's, that's for the judicial branch. It's his job to fix this mess and do what he can to soften the repercussions on our economy.
This, and the previous "kick ass" remark reveal his ineptitude and incompetence; he's incapable doing anything more than designating a culprit or scapegoat.
People may not understand this consciously, but they're nurturing a growing contempt for him. The one's that trusted him will despise most, now that he's destroyed their illusions. 'bam has crapped his nest and is becoming a laughingstock.
