US News & World Report:

Not everybody was pleased with President Obama’s uncharacteristic line on the Today Show, spoken in the pre-school hours Tuesday morning, that he wants some “ass to kick” in the Gulf oil crisis.

Becky Quick, who co-hosts Squawk Box with lead anchor Joe Kernen and co-host Carl Quintanilla, slapped Obama for using unpresidential language in an interview he knew would be aired as children prepared for school.


“If you’re the president of the United States and you go on the Today Show which is a morning show, where you’re going to have a lot of kids sitting around watching this, I think you choose your words more carefully,” said Quick. “Using the A word when you are on the Today Show talking with Matt Lauer, yeah, that disturbs me. But I also think that this is a way of trying to prove that I’m mad, to do exactly what everybody’s been pushing me to do, and it doesn’t ring true.”

Obama has been under pressure in the media and even among his friends, notably film director Spike Lee, to air more passion when addressing the oil crisis. But Quick, who said she likes the president, said he sullied the office on the Today Show.

“When you are the president of the United States, you should speak of the office and there are events and time and places where maybe you get fired up about things. It sounded like he was using this to try and prove that he was mad and I think that’s silly,” she added.

“You can point to people who say these things all the time, we’ve used these words, but again, if you’re the president of the United States and you are on the Today Show I would expect a different choice of words,” she said.

    Hey CNBC, you clowns helped make sure that this punk mother-fuckn’ Marxist Obama was elected so why don’t you stand-up and take responsibility for the consequences your actions you pieces of shit.

    Dimwit #1…when you need to show maximum emotion what do you say?
    Dimwit #2…Golly gosh almighty?….
    Dimwit #2…I guess you forget vice president Cheney blah blah blah…..

    This is grade school logic. These ignorant bastards are actually PAID to banter like slow-witted juveniles.
    In the first place our unpresident was more upset with the public’s reaction to his inept response than the crisis itself. His coaches told him to ratchet the emotion up. Throwing the phrase “kick ass” in his response could not have been lamer if Hannah Montana were to utter it.
    It’s one grand, terribly directed play. Complete with a bumbling cast of morally deficient egomaniacs.
    And the MSM clods along shucking and guffawing with every stride.
