"It was a great speech if you'd been on another planet for 57 days". -- Keith Olbermann, on President Obama's address to the nation

Another massive crisis, another critique of the President. He's too level-headed. He used the word "ass". He is part of the problem. He's the only solution. Pundits, take your pick.

Oh, the injustice of it all, holding a green Mr. Obama culpable for either the blowout or the tardy and insufficient efforts at clean-up.
Who unfairly established this strange post-Katrina precedent that the president of all people — not the mayor, not the governor, not private enterprise — is ultimately responsible?
We can all question that unfair premise, and did so in 2005, but critics like Obama himself made the federal response to Katrina a campaign issue. And so here we are with him hoisted with his own petard.
That old meany goddess Nemesis is at work again, causing havoc nearly in the identical spot as Katrina (but of course)— focusing on the young technocrat who so loudly blamed the “incompetence” of Bush during the New Orleans mess. Now our Oedipus is reduced to raging in his halls against BP, with thousands of hard-working Louisianans and other Gulfers the losers for this divine reminder about the wages of hubris.
