President Barack Obama says his talks with Gulf fishermen and oil spill experts are not an academic exercise. They’re “so I know whose ass to kick.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He can kick mine if he’s feelin’ froggy. Then I can put some beer on his credit card.<\/p>\n

But is that leadership? Going around threatening to kick ass sounds more like someone who has lost control of the message and is at a dead end for solutions. If GW Bush had threatened to kick ass over Katrina, he’d have been skewered every night on the late shows. Look how he was treated for “bring it on”.<\/p>\n

But coming from President Erkel, it sounds a little like a midget transvestite in a dark alley exorcising his fears. Maybe if he stepped away from the rhetorical flourishes and tough guy talk for a moment and actually accomplish some thing for once he’d be a better president. It sucks when you can’t campaign away your problems, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
