This one has nothing to do with the President, but here it is:

That's what they get for ruining precious, precious tea.

Well, that harbor must have tasted quite refreshing for a few days.

No way is that true! But if it was... if it was... he would be the Best. President. Ever. Yeah Lincoln, better than you.

Just to be a wet blanket, I would encourage all of you to go have some fun and compare the editorials about Lincoln to the editorials about Bush. Comparatively, Bush sounds like a fricking genius!
Still not sure about Obama. He's got the charisma, but will he be able to use it for anything?

The difference, ultimately, is what they actually did, and not how newspapers wrote them up.
It's frigging "nuclear", by the way, people! (I know *we* know that around here, but it needed saying anyway.)

Yeah... Bush kind of screwed the pooch on charisma. However, it's very easy to imagine things going differently. Fun fact: Lincoln's plan to repatriate the south would have ruined his political career. Johnson tried to follow a shadow of it, and was impeached for it.
(sorry, history major, I can't stop)

If you thought BP's handling of the Gulf situation has been equal parts entertaining and mind- boggling, then you ain't seen nothing yet: BP's Shocking MemoYeah, that's right, BP chose profits over safety (and workers' lives) down in Texas, and even went so far as to create a creepy-as-hell memo about it using the frigging Three Little Pigs fairy tale! When confronted with the old memos, their response is... not quite what you'd expect.

BP's appalling safety record is a matter of public record. Thing is they usually screw up in some 3rd world backwater country where they can just slip a few bills to el presidente to make the problem go away and to hell with the miserable buggers who have to live in the cesspool that results.
This time they were stupid enough to perform the same shenanigans on the front porch of the richest country in the world. Bad bad move. There are other problems though. Regulation in the US is slipshod enough that these cretins were given next to no oversight. It does not help that the regulatory body that is supposed to keep an eye on these folks is quite legally taking royalty money. As long as the checks keep clearing there will be no oversight.
