“I’m concerned” is a multipurpose phrase politicians use as a substitute for everything from “I’m pissed” to “I don’t really know anything about that subject.” In the case of Florida Senator George LeMieux, it means the former.
He told President Obama that he’s concerned because there are only 20 oil skimmers ready for action in Florida while 2,000 others site idle in other parts of the country.
As LeMieux tells the story, “He said to me, some of these skimmers from other places in the country we can’t take because they may need them for an oil spill.”
The Smartest President In History.
