"Obama struggling to show he's in control," reads the headline on the Washington Post's story on Barack Obama's Thursday press conference, where most of the questions were about the Gulf oil spill.
"Defensive, un-authoritative and equivocal," wrote Congressional Quarterly's Craig Crawford of Obama's performance. "He came across as a beleaguered bureaucrat in damage control."
Uh-oh. People, even people in the Obama-friendly press, are beginning to say that the oil spill is Obama's Katrina. That it destroys his reputation for competence.

That headline must be a typo. Replace the word "competence" with "incompetence" and it would then be correct.
A lib friend told me yesterday the spill is a "crime against humanity." And, he wanted the Hague to get involved and seek criminal action against BP. I know its crazy just like most libs.
I asked him about BO's slowness and failure to stop the leak. Of course, this was a non-starter. But if this happened on Bush's watch, he would want Bush tried in the Hague and imprisoned or executed. Hypocrites!!!
