91. Not quite . . .
The smarky scuba gear remarks are not made out of hand. Everyone is well aware of the power of the presidency. That power has been employed since the morning after the exposion. For weeks we've been posting links showing the detailed and immediate response by the administration as well as the very long list of government agencies involved this is crisis, yet people continue to say "Obama should do something" or he's being lackadaiscal.

This isn't about not understanding the scope of the Presidential power, it's about empty critisms not based in fact. If someone has a specific idea, they should present it. If they feel something is being done incorrectly by the administion, say so. Otherwise, the empty and hysterical "he should do something!" meme gets a well-deserved snark.
