President Barry O'Bama is referring, of course, to the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico. Since the waters started to get a tad over-lubricated, Mr. O has been keeping rather a low profile, lest he get tarred with the BP brush, so to speak. However, he surfaced earlier this week on The View, which seems to be some sort of hen party and gab fest.
Walt doesn't watch The View. However, I'm told that the celebrity ladies' usual sober and thoughtful analysis of current events gave way to a kind of mass adulation. Here we see the prez flanked by the last four voters who still approve of the way he's handling the crisis.
For his part, Mr. O'Bama spent his time dissing the media for raising "phony controversies" and making him look bad. Said the prez, "If we get our mojo back over the next several months, then I am absolutely confident that we are going to be doing terrific." [Walt didn't make this up. I checked. ed.]
It's easy enough to blame the media for your poor approval ratings and poor performance when the media isn't there to ask any pointed (or racist) questions.
By "racist", Walt means any question or remark which would cast doubt on the abilities or policies of the President. In today's America, that's what racism is -- not liking Obama. No racism on The View though!
