Obama not leading in Gulf. And this was a surprise?

Do you know what is the fun part of these poor reviews of Obama’s Gulf performance?

[Chris] Matthews, speaking during an appearance with Jay Leno on NBC’s “Tonight Show,” said Obama’s response “scares me. He’s been acting a little like a Vatican Observer here. When is he actually going to do something?”

[James] Carville, one of the President Bush’s harshest critics in the wake of the 2005 hurricane that decimated New Orleans, called Obama’s response “lackadaisical.”

(Via Hot Air) It’s the confused outrage. Matthews’ I can understand; the talking head is not after all expected to be observant. But Carville’s usually not this dumb, so his befuddlement at the White House’s passivity is particularly enjoyable. Continue reading Obama not leading in Gulf. And this was a *surprise*?
