That's one way to look at it.

Another way is that they understand how to succeed at something. And they can count.

I wouldn't exactly call Carly Fiorina's tenure at HP a success. She sent thirty thousand jobs to China, sent HP's stock down the tubes and got her sorry ass fired. Her severance package is largely responsible for her being a billionaire.

I think in general women are easier to trust. In this atmosphere of corruption, I think women have an edge. Same as if we were in a "real" war, where our shores were at stake, men would have the edge politically. It certainly doesn't hurt either sex to have a truly amazing buisness resume right now. But like the liberal media, I won't give any credit to Palin. Some bimbo on MSNBC attributed their success to Hillary Clinton.

As far as Obama kicking ass, I can't even get a visual image of that after all the apologizing he has done for us. If anything at all good comes from this horrible tragedy, it will be that Obama gets outed for the incompetent boob that he is. I think it's hilarious when FOX News busts his balls for something and then he does whatever it is in the next day or two. I honestly believe that he has NO clue how to handle something this big.

I could name a number of politicians that I feel could be doing a much better job. What has Obama done? Has he even called BP's CEO yet? I just can't understand why comunicating with the CEO of this company would be a bad idea. Seriously though, what has Obama done now that we are approaching two months?

I can guarentee that you would not approve of them. Let's try it this way. How would the left (and the mainstream media) be reacting if it was a republican sitting on his hands while the gulf coast is being destroyed. I truly believe that every move Obama makes has more to do with "him" than with anything else. I can imagine him pondering "How will this affect me and my ability to get my agenda through". I only hope that we can get to November before too much more damage is done. I can see the Democrats using this tragedy to help shove Cap and Trade through.

What else should he have done? Should he have taken over an oil company?

Watching Newshour's Shields and Brooks (damn I wish that man would sit still) last night I can only conclude that as far as the media is concerned Obama can't win. He is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. If I was in his shoes I would ask for airtime Monday night and tell the country "I quit, you can take the Presidency and shove it".

"Barack Petroleum" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

For one, he could spend a little less time on the links and a little more time trying to expedite the cleanup. Myself, the first ass I would kick would be the EPA's for dragging their feet. Then I'd check my list.

And I have to agree with the Dogman...Obammy talking tough is laughable.
