Obama on the spill: “I can’t suck it up with a straw” (video)
Hot Air ^ | June 11, 2010 | Allahpundit

Via WaPo, a week that began with a stupid soundbite ends with an even stupider one. Skip ahead to 3:00 for presidential oratorical glory.

This really is the new meme among his supporters, believe it or not, per the fact that the video below comes from the White House itself: Not only shouldn’t our global messiah be expected to plug the damn hole — he’s not Superman, people! — but evidently he shouldn’t be expected to find out if there’s any containment boom sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting to be used either.

What he’s supposed to do, apparently, is go around reminding people why he’s really not to blame. I’ll say this for him: He’s awfully good at that, at least.

There’s the mantra that conservatives should echo: Where’s the plan?

So someone actually asked Obama if he could suck up all the oil spilled with a straw ? Was it a 5 year old kid ? Or perhaps, Obama asked his experts if we could suck it all up with a straw ? And of course those experts said, no.

Awesome image.
Pelosi has that- What the heck are we doing look in her eyes.
Biden has that- Yeah baby. A giant sucking device should be fun look in his eyes.
Obama has that- Start the Giant Sucking Machine look in his eyes.

Bur how do you KNOW you can’t suck it up with a straw? I bet you haven’t even tried, have you? I can’t stand such a negative attitude in a president. Weren’t you the guy who was going to make the ocean levels fall? C’mon, next time you are down that way, you really need to try. Kneel down on that beach, put that straw in, and suck. And if at first you don’t suck oil, try, try, try again.

I still think Carter was worse. I have not had to sit in a car for hours waiting for gas. I did that as a 10 year old and was so pissed off. Obama is going to have to do something like that to make him beat out Carter for that title.

>>They used hay on the big spills in the 70s.

No one in Chicago is going to get rich on selling hay.

I disagree. Obama has more than enough suck power to do the job.

Yo Jack Squat.....going down there and actually attempting to suck up what you can with a straw would be far more productive than anything that your doing now.....idiot.

Is he trying to be humorous or is he losing it!??

Sucking it up with a straw would capsize this continent.

When it appeared that a certain procedure would work, Top Hat?, he was, "I have been on this since Day One. I am responsible. I am in charge."

Now that it has gotten a whole lot worse, "I've done all I can do, more than anyone else has done, more than can possibly be done."

"And Oh, by the way, the Republicans in Congress and George Bush are responsible for this."

Actually this sounds exactly like something Mayor Daley would say in one of his press conferences. Chicago thug politics at its finest. When you can’t defend your own actions, just ridicule the opposition.
