Our Ass Kickin President

Our President recently stated that he really needed to listen to people to find out "whose ass to kick". In the same interview with Matt Lauer, he said that if BP CEO Tony Hayward worked for him, he would have fired him. Two quotes that reveal a real lack of leadership. Maybe Obama was trying to prove how tough he was. In my opinion it did not come across well. "Kickin ass" does not show leadership - it show complete ineffectiveness. The firing comment is even worse especially considering he had up till that time not even talked to Tony Hayward. Our President has no corporate experience and quite frankly little or no experience actually managing people. I would think he would have tried to collaborate before throwing out all the rhetoric. I am in no way defending BP, but I get a little concerned when our President constantly wants to deflect blame and does very little to actually solve the problem. Maybe James Cameron can help shoot a new movie!
