I've only seen bits of it.

I don't really care what he has to 'Say' about it.
I want to see what he's 'Doing', and going to 'Do'.

They need more tankers out there.
This burning is crazy.

BP says it has started burning oil siphoned from ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico

yeah, that's the way to sell 'cap and trade'.....er um, I mean the 'climate bill'.

don't send more takers, just burn it, and pollute the air, then take it out
of the pockets of tax payers.
What a hypocrite.

Apparently he disappointed three of his greatest defenders. They didn't have much good to say about him or the speech.

There is detailed video of the trouncing at the link. Its pretty brutal.

The tingle up Matthews leg is gone.

MSNBC Trashes Obama's Address: Compared To Carter, "I Don't Sense Executive Command"

Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman react to President Obama's Oval Office Address on the oil spill. Here are the highlights of what the trio said:

Olbermann: "It was a great speech if you were on another planet for the last 57 days."

Matthews compared Obama to Carter.

Olbermann: "Nothing specific at all was said."

Matthews: "No direction."

Howard Fineman: "He wasn't specific enough."

Olbermann: "I don't think he aimed low, I don't think he aimed at all. It's startling."

Howard Fineman: Obama should be acting like a "commander-in-chief."

Matthews: Ludicrous that he keeps saying [Secretary of Energy] Chu has a Nobel prize. "I'll barf if he does it one more time."

Matthews: "A lot of meritocracy, a lot of blue ribbon talk."

Matthews: "I don't sense executive command."

Krauthammer: Obama Gave It A Shot, But The Story Will Not Be His Speech

Charles Krauthammer analyzes President Obama's Oval Office speech on the oil spill. Krauthammer says government is fallible and not omnipotent.

"The government is inherently uncoordinated," Krauthammer said.
