Obama Had to Say "Ass" to Get Media to Back Off

The word "furious" wasn't good enough. The media wanted something more. With some prodding from Matt Lauer, "ass to kick" did the trick. Meanwhile, the media played to the republicans (who are always criticizing Obama) without reporting the facts. Now Mika says no one was criticizing the government for responding too slowly (looks like some people finally took a look at the facts). The media was criticizing Obama because he wasn't emoting enough. Ugh. The media reporting on the oil spill has been sloppy since Day One.
