Obama's getting really, really mad — or is he?

WASHINGTON -First he was going to make BP pay for the Gulf oil mess. Then he declared himself in charge. Now he's trying to find out "whose ass to kick" and making clear he'd fire BP's chief if only he could.
President Barack Obama is talking ever tougher as the Gulf oil spill crisis drags on, the public's patience wears thin and the peril to his presidency increases. With pressure building on Obama to fix the crisis, the White House said he'll be heading back to the scene, spending next Monday and Tuesday inspecting oil damage in Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
Obama's salty comments broadcast on NBC's "Today" show on Tuesday raised questions about his escalating anger and angst — are they real or calculated for political effect?
Long viewed as a political positive, Obama's unflappable temperament may be working against him now. Despite his claims of being on top of things from Day One, Obama has come under fire even within his own party, accused of being slow to recognize the political danger of the spill and for appearing somewhat detached.

Maine Governor Baldacci visits Packgen to see the manufacturing of Oil Containment Booms, as well as lend his support to the people of Packgen and the Gulf Coast.
Gregory Sullivan at Pajamas Media reported, via Instapundit:
John Lapoint of Packgen in Auburn, Maine, says he’s got plenty of floating oil containment boom and can make lots more on short notice. There’s just one problem: no one will buy it from him.
He’s already had a representative from BP visit his factory and inspect his product. The governor of Maine, John Baldacci, visited the facility and made a video plea to no one in particular to close the deal. Maine Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins wrote a letter on May 21 to the secretary of the Interior, the administrator of NOAA, and the commandant of the Coast Guard to alert them to the existence of Packgen, their supply of boom, and their demonstrated capacity to make more. I have no idea if those are the correct persons and agencies to notify about the manufacturing capacity and the availability of boom. One wonders if the senators know.
Is anyone else reminded of this photo?
It didn’t have to be this way. Our southern shores could have been spared.
If Barack Obama really wants to find some ass to kick. It may be his own.

Obama Really Cares So It's Irrelevant That There Are Miles of Oil Containment Boom Sitting In Warehouses With No One From the Government or BP Buying It

Just a hypocrite.
When is he going to start taking responsibility for something?
He has NEVER been in charge of anything and it shows.
He is an embarrassment to the US and the world.
The US is weaker and going deeper in debt by the day.
And the liberals don't care.
Well, don't expect any help from me.
