I just don't think that some of the language the President used in the quote above is appropriate for a President to use. This is a time for leadership, not a retreat to pejorative language.


I agree with you, but by waiting so long to admonish BP, Obama has put himself in a no win situation. By not showing any emotion and remaining stoic, he was jumped on for not caring. I think the "so I know whose ass to kick" rant was manufactured emotion, plain and simple, to assuage his critics.
