“I can’t swim down and plug the hole… I can’t suck it up with a straw.”

Leadership.
President Obama whines to reporters, “I can’t suck it upwith a straw.”

Umm… Nobody’s asking you to, Barack.

But, maybe you could order more oil boom like the miles of boom waiting in a Maine warehouese? Maybe you could drop or expedite the regulations that is holding up the cleanup? Maybe you could accept assistance from foreign nations who offer to help? Maybe you could make clear who’s in charge? Maybe you could act like it’s an a emergency instead of going on vacation while America loses 18 of its southern beaches for generations? Maybe you could act like a leader and quit whining and blaming others?

    Accepting help from the Netherlands and the Saudis would have been SO citizen-of-the-worldish.

    And, it would have mitigated the damage. There are ships that are capable of sucking up oil from the ocean, separating the sea water, and delivering the mess to a proper refinery.

    You hit the key word – “act”. To “him”, it is an act. To us, an act without substance, and an an act with abuse.

    Well yes he can … Start by waiving the Jones Act for your union thug buddys.

    Now we know why there were no tanker-skimmers brought in early on …

    Incompetence, thy name is Obama. Beats Carter by a country mile.

    He could suspend enforcement of the Jones Act, put decisionmakers on the ground and let governors do anything they deem necessary and appropriate to protect their coastlines, among other things…

    once again proving the wisdom of GWB
    in not responding to personal criticism..

    Earth to Obama..

    this is not about you..

    so get your act together & let those
    who can do, those who can’t teach..

    as it’s painfully obvious you can do neither..

    From lectureship to whinning carpper all in one week-this is not leadership the American People intrust with the chief-executive of our Nation.

    Suck it.

    That’s about right, Mr. Obama.

    I’d call you Mr. President, but you’ve about 90% destroyed the office and what it represents.

    We all know who’s ass to kick.

    just for the heck of it..

    Chris Matthews solution @ the 21:40 mark..

    re: Obama’s handing of the crisis
    starts around the 17:53 mark..

    (click on pic to start video)

    however painful to listen to, it’s not as painful as having to listen to Obama.. and i’m not saying i know any better, or that it’s the right solution, but i have to say that even CM sounds like he knows more about how to handle the situation than the kick arse ass we have for president..
