Now what?

President Obama: "Hey, come here and smell my finger!"
OK, so it isn't very funny, but then again, neither is thousands of barrels of oil spilling into the Gulf of Mexico. You know you're in trouble when three people in business-casual clothing are walking the beach with police tape in the background.
That's the shitty part about being president, or the CEO of British Petroleum for that matter.
Somebody makes a big mistake and you're left walking the beach picking up clumps of washed-up oil trying to think of something to say to the American public that won't make it sound like the Gulf coast is about to become the world's biggest waterproof beach.
Such is the peril of delegated authority.
