Presidential Ass Kicking

[AllentownJake]

"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 ass to kick." President Barack Obama

Tony Haward sir, CEO of BP. I'm not an expert, but he appears to be begging for you to kick his ass.

1. You didn't perchance see Colbert last night, did you?

[AllentownJake]

2. No

Did Colbert say for the President to kick Tony Hayward's ass.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

3. He said exactly that. He even mimed it out.

Threw him down the stairs, beat him up...etc.

4. I just saw the video of the interview

I'm having a Colbert day, I woke up to finding out there was a bear running around the county causing havoc.

I kept thinking Stephen was right, they are the number one enemy to man.

5. Of course GENBC didn't play the question asked

by Matt - about kicking butt. As usual context was missing.
GObama - great response.

6. I'm fine if the President had a Rose Garden Ceremony

Where the President actually kicked Tony's ass.

9. As expected in 3...2...1 Drudge has the angry

black man.

[AllentownJake]

10. I think a majority of the country

Would be happy with the Angry black man kicking the fuck out of the whiny British guy who ruined their coast line right now.

7. 5 weeks late is better than not at all. Go for it Mr. P. nt

[AllentownJake]

8. Agree, kick Tony Hayward's ass. nt.

11. Can we get some Halliburton criminals and Cheneys in the ass-kicking group?

That would please me even more.

:hi:

[AllentownJake]

12. First things first

Kick Tony Hayward's ass. The President might really like it and start kicking more ass.

13. K&R Time stomp nuts till his foot hurts

Of course to do that actual change in policy and not catering to "the stakeholders" would be prerequisite.

[Kringle]

14. action speaks louder than words .nt

15. Isn't it odd...First Obama was not tough and emotional

enough. He makes this statement and now republicans are complaining. He is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. I think he should IGNORE all republicans and do what he and his advisers and the Democrats figure out is best for this country. He should tell the republicans to get a rag and help clean up the Gulf, at least they would be doing something constructive. And the ones he should tell to start are Fox and all the right wing blow hards who have a platform to spew their hate.

[TheKentuckian]

19. Sorry but well...duh! Did ya really think they could be reasoned with?

Were you actually counting on them to do their duties?

Did you actually think their concerns had any legitimate reasons behind them?

Did you get it into your head that including their ideas or trying to meet them in the middle would bear fruit?

C'mon man!!!! Wake up these are the TeaPubliKlans we're talking about here. They are a 100% about shenanigans, bullshitting, and making the rich wealthy and the wealthy into gods.

[Xenotime]

16. It's time to kick BP and rethug ass. DO IT NOW!!!

[blindpig]

17. Fat chance, looks like the die is cast.

It would be mightily satisfying but I'm willing to take bets that I'd happily lose.

Who knows, if the heat is hot enough BP could hang Tony out to dry, but that still would be essentially symbolic. BP is it's assets, it's shareholders. Expropriate without compensation.

18. I'd bet they could raise millions for cleanup if the ass-kicking was on pay per view

I'd ante it up. Even sell a few things for the price. :rofl:
