In another petulant and childish display, the President simultaneously uses perfectly proper grammar while indulging a schoolyard bully slang expression to try to look tough on the oil spill.
"I don't sit around just talking 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."
Actually, that's exactly what we think (the college seminar part). I find it interesting that Obama is self aware enough to know that the public is starting to view him as an ineffectual intellectual, but not smart enough to realize that his use of perfectly proper grammar undermines his street cred.
Finally, the only street cred people really care about is if the federal government had been able to take action to prevent or stop the spill. Short of that, nobody really cares about all the posing, fake street talk, or any other stupid thing you might think of.
Don't forget about dropping the "g" at the end of words and effecting somewhat of a drawl.
