'I can't suck it up with a straw,' President Obama says of Gulf oil spill
President Obama told Louisiana residents battling against the Gulf oil spill that he couldn't "suck it up with a straw" during his recent visit to the region, it emerged Friday.The president's previously unseen comments were posted in a video on the White House website. "Even though I'm president of the United States, my power is not limitless," he told residents from Grand Isle as they sat round a table together. "So I can't dive down there and plug the hole. I can't suck it up with a straw." "All I can do," Obama continued. "Is make sure that I put honest, hard-working smart people in place to implement this thing." I will do everything in my power to do right by you guys. And everybody along the coast." Posted by: tipper 2010-06-12 |
