Drudge: "Obama goes street: Seeking 'ass to kick' "

...That a direct quote...?

Frankly, if it is true I hope that Obama finds several to kick and fires even more.

But, but, but, Karl Rove said that President Obama hasn't been a straight shooter on this topic - how can he do an interview like this and not be a straight shooter?

The right is an odd position: they will NEVER admit BP screwed up major and regulation is needed. However they can't really defend them either since the proof of their negligence/malfeasance is washing up all over the place.

In their desperation they attack Obama to draw attention away from the unquestionably bad corporate actors.

Their only other option is to step into Hannity's bizarro world where this accident happened BECAUSE of federal regulation.

Goes "street"? WTF?

Shorter Drudge: "HEY! The president is a [dong]!"

Here's the part Drudge didn't report (and the media will no doubt ignore it too): "I was down there a month ago, before most of these talkin' heads were even paying attention to the gulf. A month ago..."

Last week, he was an emotionless Vulcan. This week, he'll be characterized as an angry black man. It doesn't matter. The fix is in. Nothing he does can ever be right.

That's what he was doing in my hometown:

That's Right!!! He's in my backyard! Not yours! Eat it, rest of the country!

Obama sort of fell into the trap on this one.

the righties said "Obama needs to get angry" then when he does they play the "angry black man" card.

Pretty predictable. Racism is the new right wing politics. Everything they say and do is based on it.

I hate to say it, but if an angry white republican, say Chris Christie, said this he would have been lauded by the right as a populist hero. Obama does it and he's street.

Stay classy Drudge.

Just for fun, someone should kick Drudge's flabby, pale ass, problem is he's hard to find. He lives underground in a damp, dark cave with the other slimy worms.

as well the president should.......about time.

Ridiculous. Catch the whole clip here:

Lauer essentially asked the president why he's meeting with experts and talking about the problem when he should be down talking to fishermen and oilmen and "kicking butt." Obama answered that he was talking to experts because they "potentially" have the right answers so that he knows whose $$ to kick. Sounds like the right answer to me--but what do I know? I'm a clueless liberal who figures that when you kick a$$, you make sure you're kicking the right a$$ instead of the one least able to kick back.

Okay, so "kicking a**" is "going to the street"? Really? I'm just asking because whodathunk that all those cowboys I know and love were hip-hop street punks?
