Now hold on just a gol’ danged minute. We thought this President was cool, calm and collected. We thought he was a Harvard-educated intellectual, the smartest man who’s ever occupied the Oval Office. We thought he was going to resolve conflict by extending his hand in peace and listening to his adversaries.
Nah, that was last week before the polls started to slip. Now that he’s catching flak for his dazed and confused response to the Gusher in the Gulf, he’s turned tough guy. Kind of like that episode of Star Trek where Kirk turned gangster to deal with a planet run by gangsters.
“I was down there a month ago,” the Hard Ass in Chief said, “before most of these talkin’ heads were even paying attention to the gulf. A month ago I was meetin’ with fishermen down there, standin’ in the rain talking about what a potential crisis this could be. and I don’t sit around just talkin’ 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.”
An ass kickin’?
There’s nothing sadder than a Democrat tryin’ to sound like one of those average Americans. Remember John Kerry, that other noted intellectual, sayin’, “Can I get me a huntin’ license here?”
Don’t look now, Mr. President, but the polls are slippin’ again. And phony tough guy talk won’t solve your problem as easily as it solved Captain Kirk’s.
