After the Media spent weeks braying for Obama to spend more time in the Gulf....
and more time emoting about the disaster, they are now reporting that he may be spending too much time on this one issue. On CNN and MSNBC the question is being asked...."is the President ignoring Jobs Creation and the Economy while focusing too much on the oil disaster?"

Americans continue to react enthusiastically to the next shiny object dangled if front of them.

1. Yep I was waiting for them to turn on him
For just this issue. Obama is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Remember early in his presidency they were braying he was overexposed? And trying to do too much?

2. The mediawhores could care less about Obama or the Gulf now.
They're too busy beating up on an 89 year old woman who did the job they refuse to do.

3. It's the Goldilocks syndrome
There's never anything that's ju-u-u-u-ust right. It's always too early to assign blame, or the BP spill is just old news, nobody's interested in prosecuting the malefactors. When was the right time? Can't tell you that, at least not prospectively. There are really only two settings: "Too soon" and "too late," and "just right" is only cognizable well after "just right" has passed.

4. Does that mean we will have porridge?
It's almost worth it!

6. Oh no! It'll be too cold then
Only fit to be thrown out. It was just right yesterday, which is when things should have happened, but since they didn't, the porridge is no good now. Better luck next time?
