Nixon cussed so much the term "explitive deleted" became a national joke. Those of us who were around then are pretty much immune to presidential cussing.
If he's looking for one to kick and is so angry at BP, why has he not met with their CEO? That one seems ripe for a kickin' if that's what you want to do.
I've posted specific things that he could have done but didn't do. I've seen the interviews with the locals, the local and state reps from affected states who say, repeatedly, they are not getting what they need....that Obama's response has been inadequate on every level. They ask for supplies or materials or resources and they get little to none of what they need. What Obama says he is doing doesn't match his actions (but that's nothing new).
Who the heck is he to kick @ss when he is the primary and chief incompetent?
He kicked his own MMS director's ass, by firing her, and he appointed her just 10 months ago.

In this crisis in the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Obama is reduced to a helpless observer of men with whom he is uneasy, performing tasks he does not understand. Neither he nor his functionaries can do anything, and their regulatory and financial chirping alongside the roaring machinery only serves to remind the rest of us of the uselessness of those who have made a career of taking and threatening, hindering, suing and penalizing.

When asked specifically if she resigned or was fired

He doesn't seem like much of an @ss kicker, even when he's trying.

Yes, i heard him say that - right after he said he was in complete control from day one. Doh! He expects us to trust him, and then admits he's not even aware of what goes on with key people in his own administration.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Wednesday that President Barack Obama should find someone's "ass to kick" regarding the budget deficit.
"Look, we’re broke," Boehner said in a statement. "We’re $13 trillion in debt, and 43 cents of every dollar the federal government spends this year we’re going to have to borrow and pass the bill on to our kids and grandkids
