President Barack Obama’s White House staff alerted reporters last evening that the President would be hosting a press event late Friday morning to inform them of his “anger” with both the public and private responses to a recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Reporters were also made aware of the President’s intention to use such language as “frustrated” during this media availability.
The scheduled presidential briefing was held at approximately noon today, as anticipated. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs has since confirmed that, during this availability, the President acknowledged harboring feelings of a similar nature to the previously reported anger and frustration. Gibbs notes that the President’s specific language included such phrases as “this mess” and “ridiculous spectacle.”
After informing the press of these feelings, the President went and did sump’m else.

When I lived in New Jersey, this was called the Old Jersey Bullshit, e.g., when the building inspector chews out the landlord in front of the tenants.
The prez needs to hire Sam Jackson: I am sick and tired of this motherfucking oil in the motherfucking Gulf of Fucking Mexico and those off-brand motherfuckers who are fucking this fucker up.
he was so pissed off, the knot to his necktie was off-center (to the left, i think it was). oil companies, watch out!
Actually, President Obama, this is a a ridiculous spectacle.
The blame game being played by the oil companies is a criminal fucking display of self-serving, shameless irresponsibility.
He should send Biden out to rip BP a new one over this big fucking spill.
His restrained displays of frustration make me moist.
So when do we Mau-Mau BP — or is that not the preferred terminology anymore?
If this was Japan three oil company CEOs would apologize to the public and resign in shame while a fourth would kill himself. But this is the U.S. so they’re all going out for steaks and cocktails.
POTUS at Presser: “This is a ridiculous spectacle.”
POTUS – to chef at private luncheon w/oil execs: “What’s for lunch?”
Chef: “Gulf shrimp.”
POTUS: “Fresh!?”
All: “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
[re=577700]Scarab[/re]: If this was China, the CEOs would all be executed. Now I’m anti-death penalty, but the idea of punishing executive for their corporation’s crimes is one I find very appealing.
Also, Jim, this post tasted rather Onion-y. Are you preparing to LEAVE US?!
[re=577697]SayItWithWookies[/re]: 4 whore diamonds to you.
[re=577697]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Those on the Dark Side prefer the phrase “Darth Mau-Mau”.
Was that Obama or Johnny Gentle at that presser? But now that I think about it if it was Johnny Gentle he would have expressed his feelings and then informed the Canadians that they now owned the Gulf of Mexico and they’d better come and clean that shit up or we’d launch the nukes.
Just take one of them little subs that’s down there takin pitchers o’ the erl gusher ‘n drive the danged thing over the pipe, that thayre’s what ah’d do.
Does it to you?
The next message from Gibbs simply said: “KHHHHHHAAAAAAANNNNN!”
These cumsuckin’ oilmen gotta’ know that Brother Obama will cut a muthafucka”. My boy totes a Chicago razor & he knows how to use it. Run Honkies run.
Where’s Huey Long when you need him, man.
Reagan would’ve said, “I’ve had it up to my keister with these leaks!” And then told Ollie to send more missiles to Iran. This is why we adore him.
Kia ora, Yanks!
I heard that Obamer plans to use his KenyIslamic-Voodoo Google-map powers to locate these Oil Co. bastards and SMOTHER them under a blanket of their own pollution… but with whom should he start first?
This is why I voted for Edwards in the primary: he may have been a smarmy jewelry-humping scumbag, but at least he could demonstrate anger.
Next he’ll be sending a sternly-worded memo, watch out BP.
COCKSLAP!! or GTFO.
[re=577689]Extemporanus[/re]: Damn you literalists. You make metaphor impossibly hard.
Soon I will be unable to refer to this disaster as a sticky wicket too, won’t I?
Haha. Just like he showed those bankers. Pussy, pleeeease.
Wow two stealth blog spams in one subject.
Uh, excuse me, Mr. President, but aren’t you the one who was talking about off-shore drilling just a few weeks ago?
Now perhaps you should just calm down about the spilled milk and put yourself to cleaning up the little mess that’s been made. Just an idea.
Since the Bush/Cheney administration oversight of the oil companies turns out (surprise, surprise) to be ignoring environmental laws and impacts and not requiring equipment standard in other countries that would have capped the spill, will the newscasters now wonder if this oil spill is Bush’s latest Katrina?
The spectacle is Sen. John McAged and Alaskanian Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Tar Ball, AK) trying to suck up all of that oily jizz in the Gulf with a Sippy straw. Amusing.

[re=577711]Ruhe[/re]: Hey, don’t give away the ending. I’m still reading that fucking endless book!
[re=577705]JMP[/re]: Agreed. Shi!
Well, the Pres. of Yunnan Copper “ate the iron peanut” within the last year.
The Looseyanna Zulus gonna put sum voo-doo on that old British Queen and she’s going to wake up with motor oil squirting out of her tits!
[re=578025]sezme[/re]: What’s to give away. It literally is endless.
