Abu Wabu

Tom Maguire has a very good reason for not listening to Captain Kickass' gormless Oval Office speech for which, amazingly, he took his feet off the President's desk for once, apparently to draw more attention to his bizarrely purposeful gesticulations. As for the substance, well:

Obama launched Operation Blame BP from the Oval Office in an attempt to project command of the gulf leak debacle. I did not watch the speech myself. Here's the reason. Because my experience is, when you listen to a guy like a professional politician, he's gonna say all the right things to me. I'm not interested in words. I'm interested in actions.

There's much more juicy red meat, so over to TM for all that and Chaos In The Gulf.

Oh but that's not all. Here's Ed Morrissey on Obama's Disaster of a Disaster Speech:

Obama didn’t even offer an original thought for spitballing. In his short presidency, Obama has had two responses to any issue: appoint a czar or create a commission. The auto industry got a czar, for instance, and the deficit that Obama’s spending has driven out of sight got a commission. Last night, Obama wanted people to know he was taking this seriously by appointing a czar and a commission, the latter of which had been announced weeks ago. That was the sum total of his substantive response last night. Small wonder Obama chose an Oval Office speech rather than face another press conference.

Oh but that's not all. Read Nick Gillespie's Icarus Descending.

Oh but that's not all. Read and watch Sarah Palin: Obama hasn’t shown us his top priority is stopping the leak

Oh but that's not all...
