Obama: Government's "Unconscionable Ineptitude"

"If there's any bright light that's come out of this disaster, it's the degree to which ordinary Americans have responded with speed and determination . . . even as their government has responded with what I consider to be unconscionable ineptitude."

Who unleashed that excoriating criticism?

Why, none other than Sen. Barack Obama, back in 2006. When someone else was mishandling a disaster along the Gulf Coast.

So, does waiting nearly two months before meeting BP's CEO constitute "unconscionable ineptitude"? Or does making it abundantly clear he has no clue how to solve this mess?

Probably.

But, hearing the President of the United States talking about kicking people's asses makes for great primetime television.

And hilarious YouTube remixes, apparently.
