The problem with BO is that he's been AWOL since this administration of crooks began.  He's a commie like his mommie, and a Jihadi like his daddy.  As far as being an ass-kicker, it takes more than a jump shot and the ability to get to the next vacation, concert, or award ceremony to be president.  He's the incompetent in chief.

This President is a follower, not a leader. Too bad, because this country needs good leadership. BHO's comments about kicking the south end of a northbound donkey were designed as a response to those who were calling him President Spock; no emotion, no feelings. What I haven't figured out is how many speech writers did they use to come up with that particular line? I'm surprised they didn't dub in the music from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly during the interview to complete the effect. When it comes to this President you are seeing The Peter Principle at work; rising to his level of incompetence. It a tough job, but never send a wimp to the White House and expect positive results. I'm beginning to long for the days of Jimmy Carter...

eddo me boy, won't you agree that there was a lot of a$$ kicking that needed to be done? This man inherited one of the biggest messes that any president has ever had. His foot should be busy 24/7 !

Obama is a wimp. He needs to be more like T.R. Speak softly and carry a big stick.

I don't think that this man is as good at kicking tail as he is kissing it. He does all he can to please his supporters and the people that hate America...the liberal, terrorist, left wing, so and so...

As for myself and the homies that I hang with, we generally don't need consultants or focus groups to figure out who's backside needs whooopin. We usually know beyond a shadow of a doubt who needs their "backside kicked".

Norwegian Nancyboys... the group that honors achievement in many areas of achievement are “nancyboys”
a rude ridiculous rant that is insulting to Norwegians everywhere and thought up just to run down President Obama.
 
"I don't sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose a** to kick!"

Obama said during an interview Tuesday morning.  Which is a tough road for any “black man” to walk for fear of getting the angry black man label.

So as “no drama Obama” he lacks passion, but mention kicking some butt and he is again subject to criticism.
 
The man in the White House is a take-charge kind of leader.

I certainly hopes he gets around to green energy, works to develop a sustainable budget, continues to stimulate the GDP, continues to improve the job market, finishes the banking and financial reforms, reforms social security, preventing a depression, making BP financially responsible for the spill, the lost lives, and the damage to the Gulf, and deals with Iran, the immigration policies, and continues to improve our country to a healthier state, and puts us all back in the “pink.”

It would be refreshing if a case could be made without all the negative and demeaning comments, there is nothing wrong with being civil.

[The man in the White House gratuitously uses the A-word on morning TV as a last-ditch political effort to rescue his plummeting job ratings -- ostensibly because he does too little and the little that he does is dangerous -- and you think my comments are rude and demeaning? This kommie prez is WAY below his pay grade. Quit being a delusional lefty fool. And quit playing the race card. -ED]

Strong talk for a man who isn't even a citizen of the best country in the world.  He hates America and all it stands for. He has proven that with all his foreign speeches.  Actually if the real truth was known,  B. H. Obama is a terrorist and lines himself up with all terrorist that hate America.  B. H. O. would love nothing more then economically destroy the USA before he leaves office.  He is on target [to do] that now.

No one in the white house has gotten together with BP executives? How would Obama know what the heck is going on...what BP's game plan was/is, what is BP's schedule...is BP bidding time attempting to cut their losses by trying to figure out how to 'collect' the gushing oil rather than stopping it...who knows? Immediately meeting with governors from the gulf states might have been a good start. Don't give us this "we have to do environmental impact studies" BS.

He doesn't have a clue how to approach this problem and it shows. How much money did he receive from BP for his presidential campaign?

We're 50+ days into the oil spill crisis and Obama is just now saying he needs to find out "who's ass to kick??" All the resources he has at his command and well over 7 weeks later he still doesn't know who's butt to kick?? Might be because just two weeks before Gibbs and Obama and CO were saying "this is BP's spill, this is BP's well, this is BP's cleanup" 50+ days he's never even spoke with the CEO of BP? Does this sound like a guy who's in the loop? His ratings are tanking and he needed to sound tough that's all it comes down to. His response to this whole mess has been a joke at best...

His kick a55 statement doesn't fit his persona. It was an unimpressive political attempt to gain favor. Want to be John Wayne? Get tough with Iran. That would be impressive.

As a life long “Herring Chocker” I love your Norwegian Nancyboys comments. The insecurity and worship of Government demonstrated daily by my people is hard to take. I have asked my sons and grandsons to no longer defend “Norwegian Nancyboys” freedom. I think it’s time they stand on their own. Their free ride should be terminated along with the Swede Sweeties”. Scandinavians should be the first drafted and fill only front line positions where they can better enforce the Obama “don’t shoot the enemy rule”. By the way I have been living in my folks basement for 50 years, can I come out now? The lutefisk and lefse would be hard to give up. Ah, the butter dripping down my chin. We are already way too pink, almost “Red”.

The harsh reality - and one that more and more people are recognizing - is that we are dealing with two disasters. The oil rig disaster and the Obama presidency disaster. The fact which stares us straight in the face is that Barack Obama is dramatically overmatched for the presidency. He is in 100 miles over his head. If we didn't see it in his bumbling, embarrassing foreign policy gaffes, we are certainly seeing it now, in his gross mishandling of the oil rig crisis, "from day one" as he likes to say.

Obama has marinated and continues to marinade in marxist, communist, political crap period.  That my friends is all he is capable of doing.

I can't wait until all the shitake mushroom legislation he's passed through skullduggery are overturned ASAP as he runs his fanny out of this country as hard and as fast as he can go because "We The People" have got his number. All you "faithful" followers hanging on for dear life even though you too have "buyers remorse" will be singing a different tune I'm sure.

So, drink up brothers and sisters the Kool-Aid is just fine...

I think Obama better start with the mirror when looking for assets to kick. But first I'd rather see this so-called commander in chief actually command some action in regards to preventing the spilled oil from destroying the Gulf shores, the wetlands, etc. and so forth. Command, as in call out the Coast Guard, the Marines, the Armed Forces to stop that oil from coming inland. Command, as in commandeer the miles and miles of oil containment booms sitting in Maine and just waiting to be used.

Obama is an empty suit minus any evidence of cojones, meaning all you have left is an ass...

 

...What really drives home the pettiness of Obama's nature is that he refused to allow Jindal to implement Louisiana's plan to save their coastline, for no other reason than to deny the Republican governor the opportunity to look good politically. If Jindal had any real cojones, he'd have gone ahead with his plan to save the shores, and done so without the blessing of the Feds, and then invoice BP later.

I only respect take charge kind of people who do what's right, no matter what the cost politically or otherwise to themselves. Had I been the governor of Louisiana, the Feds could come and take me to jail, later, after the my plan to save the coastline and wetlands had been implemented. And I bet I would be re-elected in a landslide, even from my jail cell, especially juxtaposed against the non-actions of our resident ass- in chief and his administration of ass-es.

Funny how this is going from a BP f-up to an Obama issue. The worst man caused environment disaster in history yet............. no wonder we're all doomed!!!!

[I thought "man-caused disaster" was libspeak for when a terrorist flies a plane into a building, massacres people via shooting or blows himself up with a bomb vest. Your Dear Leader has no plan for those things either. And how smart can he be if he has to wrestle with tobacco use in his own life? -ED]
