"And 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," proclaimed our president this morning in an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today show.
Some people may object to this remark because it is coarse. I object because it is disingenuous and clearly the brainchild of a media relations team. "President Obama! The American People think you're an effete intellectual. They think you lack emotion. They want to see you get mad!" And, "The American People do not want to hear about experts or scholars. They want you to get out there and KICK ASS!"
President Obama, polls or no polls, please speak with your authentic voice. Work with BP, work with everyone who can help clean up this terrible mess, build some regulations, kick some ass if necessary, but don't talk to us as if street fightin' is your way of life. Get real.
