It was actually nice to hear someone like Bob Woodward goes on Larry King' right after his interview with president Obama on Thursday, and saying that a lot of the criticism against the president when it comes to the oil disaster is unfair, that he (Woodward) doesn't get the big issue around the president' "emotions", that he was elected precisely because of this coolness under pressure, that he is not suppose to be the "Venting In Chief" but to solve the problem, and that if he'll start acting this way, everyone will say that he's faking.
And if i may add, he was not elected to solve all of Maureen Dowd's daddy issues. If Miss Dowd wanted to become a hero over at Fox News - She got it, as they quoted her stupid articles throughout the week.
Oh well, never mind. The president went down to the Gulf yesterday. Many photos under the jump.
