Via WaPo, a week that began with a stupid soundbite ends with an even stupider one. Skip ahead to 3:00 for presidential oratorical glory.

This really is the new meme among his supporters, believe it or not, per the fact that the video below comes from the White House itself: Not only shouldn’t our global messiah be expected to plug the damn hole — he’s not Superman, people! — but evidently he shouldn’t be expected to find out if there’s any containment boom sitting in a warehouse somewhere waiting to be used either.

What he’s supposed to do, apparently, is go around reminding people why he’s really not to blame. I’ll say this for him: He’s awfully good at that, at least.

So will some peat mosses.

I’ve watched videos on YouTube of some guys demonstrating how hay attached oil to it.

So what if it gets heavier as a result?

But after an accident in federal waters the federal government, which has a plan to save the entire planet from greenhouse gases, had no plan to save the Gulf from a single gushing well, with the possible exception of finger-pointing. - IBD Editorials

Finally, Obama accidentally stumbles across the first real idea to help out on record. I say let him try. We could actually be surprised.

Why wouldn’t the oil be easier to collect if it weren’t mixed with dispersant?

No one was expecting him to personally apply a straw; he sounds more like a wise-cracking 11 year-old than a mature adult.

How does he know? Has he tried? I really think he sucks quite a bit.

They used hay on the big spills in the 70s.

He probably tried it and decided that oil tasted too yucky.
