Carville: Obama needs to tell BP 'I'm your daddy'

From CNN's Charles Riley


Washington (CNN) - Just hours after completing a tour of oil soaked wetlands on the Louisiana coast, Democratic strategist James Carville blasted the Obama administration for its response to what he calls "a disaster of the first magnitude."

"The chairman of BP said that BP was a big important company and the United States was a big important country…BP is not the equal of the United States government," Carville told CNN Chief National Correspondent John King. "And this president needs to tell BP: I'm your daddy, I'm in charge. You're going to do what we say."

Joined by his wife and fellow CNN contributor Mary Matalin, an emotional Carville stressed the urgency of the situation. "We need some action here, and we need to get this thing moving very quickly," Carville said Wednesday on CNN's John King, USA.

3. Carville needs to find another line of work

4. I know. His comment was not only non-sensical, it was more than a little disturbing

5. carville needs to think a little more and speak a lot less

I understand he's upset because it's his home state getting hammered again, but it was more or less inevitable when you look at the map of all those wells right off their coast,. Like I said a while back.. they danced with the devil and the devil always wins..eventually.

LA has had a steady stream of inept politicians who were eager to grab a few bucks from oil companies and then cross their fingers, in hopes that "nothing bad will happen"..

6. Carville needs to just shut the fuck up.

What a loud mouthed freak. Anyone who sleeps with that piece of crap Matalin can't have much of a brain. I think both of them are pathetic.

Thankfully, I can't understand what the man says half the time.

7. Someone needs to ask Carvile ...

What is WRONG with your FACE!?

8. What does he want Obama to do?

He talks shit, but what does he want Obama to actually do?

9. Because it works so well when Mary says it to you, James?

10. I saw that segment

He was very distressed, upset,--- He is pissed off. My husband agreed-- Carville did not have his usual poli-savvy attitude. He is freaking out seeing what is happening to his home. I cut him a break. I think I'd feel the same way if I was on the front lines of this.
