Did You Plug The Hole Yet Daddy?

[txlonghorn]

the sexual jokes detract from the reality of this faux pas...he needs to quit using his kids to correct his obvious mistakes. When James Carville is saying "I don't know what he's thinkin!" then there's probably some real problems to address.

Actually, a daughter peaking her head into the bathroom (you know, the room with the TOILET) and asking Daddy if he's Plugged The Hole yet is rather gross.

No kiddin', apparently the teleprompter went offline right before he made that comment .... on a positive note though, stand up comedians across the globe cheered wildly right after he made it.

 

[Dante]

Simply amazing. ...

...

The President mentioned his daughter in a rehearsed way. I have to say my stomach turned. We've seen this kind of shit before. What was Axelrod thinking? Did his focus groups suffer group think?

yeah, yeah, yeah,...Obama fucked up in this news conference.

people need to admit it ad move on.

 

[Sinatra]

the only thing that would have made it ANY better would have been if he had gotten a little choked up right before he delivered the line...

I'm sure they ran that scenario by their internal focus groups but it didn't check out.

All kidding aside, that was one of the most ridiculous performances by Obama to date. A really low point during a time when he should be showing strength and conviction in trying all he can to set right the fiasco that is the BP oil disaster.

For weeks he showed near indifference, and then today he comes up with the line, "Daddy have you plugged the hole yet."

You KNOW the world leaders are laughing at this display, namely N. Korea, Iran, China, and Russia.

A very-very bad day for the Obama White House.

But you know what? I don't really care about that so much - I just want to see the damage lessened as much as possible for the people living on the Gulf Coast. For God's sake - those people have suffered enough in recent years.

I pray that BP is able to stop the leak - and that the damage will prove less than feared.

Just contrast the quotable quotes:

JFK: Ask now what your country can do for you...

Reagan: Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.

Obama: Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?

This BP fiasco will be his Katrina. AND IT'S IN THE SAME PLACE!

I guess it's just me that frankly does not give a shit about what his daughter asked him, or where he was when she asked.

It is, however, as entertaining as hell to witness the dumbing down of my fellow Americans - who think this is worth discussing while Obama plans to bail out the unions pension funds with taxpayers money and, judging by the lack of discussion, we're all fine with that little $86bn bailout.

I guess I'm just not very good at this whole 'trivia' shit.

I wouldn't necessarily call it 'trivia shit.' I'd call it an ongoing fiasco and tragedy of the American principles of democracy. But he's a democrat so this is what we get. We had opposing views during the GOP years. Each side sweats when they are in enemy camps as it were. This BP thing won't be a good legacy for him though.

Don't lose your sense of humor since if this regime has it's way it'll be all you have left.. ..... like the ObamanicsSocialistFascists in Washington say.. "poverty is funny as long as you spread it around" ...

 

[Skull Pilot]

He should stop "thinking about it" and fucking do something.

 

[California Girl]

He should stop "thinking about it" and fucking do something.

And exactly what is he supposed to do? Go plug it himself? Seriously, we need to stop fucking whining about this shit and deal with it. Whining about what Obama - or any other politician - said - is just ridiculous.

I'll hold him accountable - when there is something to hold him accountable for. All this shit about 'plugging the hole' is mindless crap. Let BP, TransOcean and Haliburton cap the damned thing. Get it stopped. Get it cleaned up. Then worry about the stupid blame game. Ya know, like... after we actually KNOW what happened.

Until then, I am not gonna hold any individual, company or Government at fault over this. Because we just don't have enough information to make an INFORMED decision.

The last time I checked, we had some fucking brilliant engineers in this country. Shit Obama just gutted NASA I'm sure some of those guys would like a job.

And why are there no clean up crews on the shore to try to deal with this?

And I didn't place blame on anyone did I?

All I ask for is that he do something. The only thing he has done is to go to LA and point at a map for the TV cameras.

Prime example of what Democrats sometimes do [more often then not] when they are in trouble...which is beg for sympathy....by using cute little children as props.

There were some technics that are used in an oil spill that come under the EPA. Dispersment chemicals can't be used nor can a burn occur without EPA approval.

The local government asked for permission to try them....and got no response....much less an approval or disapproval.

Simply amazing. This president uhhhhs and ahhhhs and rambles to and fro once he was off teleprompter during today's press conference, and then in an act of obvious desperation, reaches back into his parking lot puddle-deep bag of tricks to march foward supposed remarks from his young daughter about plugging the oil spill????

President Obama turned personal at the end of his press conference today, saying his daughter Malia asked for an update this morning on the oil leak in the Gulf.

"You know, when I woke up this morning and I'm shaving, and Malia knocks on my bathroom door and she peeks in her head and she says, 'did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?'" he said.

Nice to see Malia is now an integral member of the Obama emergency response team.

The comments mirrored those of another spineless and disastrous prez from the not too distant past...

I find this post rather amusing.

BP screws the pooch and you're desperately seeking some way to blame the POTUS for that?

Tell me, and please specific, what should Obama have done that he has failed to do?

Since when is articulation and a command of the English language so damn important in a President to the Righties? It's not as if he said 'nucular' or anything!

Fool me twice, er, ah, fool me once, er ah, we won't get fooled again!

jimmy carter pronounced it nucular as well and he had a degree in nucular engineering.

go figure, huh?

I always thought the nucular/new-clear thing was just silly.

"Did you plug the hole yet..."

That ranks right up there with, "Ward, you were a little tough on the beaver last night..."

 

[saveliberty]

Two consecutive bad moments for 0bama.

He's off the telepromter. Then...he looks to the left and Biden whispers in his ear, "Did you plug the hole yet Daddy?"

 

[Devin]

Hole's still not plugged, so the whole country ought to send emails and phone messages asking "DID YOU KICK BP's ARSE, MR. PRESIDENT?"
