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.

Practice makes perfect.

This is just basic misdirection tactics.

Claim that you can’t do something that no one asked you to do in order to deflect questions about why you didn’t do the things you could have done.

To a clueless general public, this is actually perceived as being a valid defense.

This is from the President of the United States of America.

This is disgraceful. Seriously.

Why not? Sucking is something he excels at.

Agreed, dear leader could probably suck-start a badley flodded Harley Davidson, with the choke on.

He should just ask his millions of fans around the world to come to the Gulf with an empty gallon milk jug. They could fill it and take it home as a souvenir. The spill would be contained. The Gulf states would have an instant shot of tourism stimulus money and the problem would be solved.

Does anyone have information on The Jones Act? will Obama have to waive the act in order to deal with the oil spill in the gulf?
