President Obama's War on Error

Alex Tabarrok comments on the President's oval office BP speech in the New York Times's Room for Debate Blog:

President Obama lost his cool last week when — sounding like the old president — he said he was looking for some “ass to kick.” He didn’t regain any lost cool in Tuesday’s oil speech, which also made him sound like his predecessor: “Make no mistake: we will fight this spill with everything we’ve got for as long it takes,” he said, emphasizing “We will make BP pay….” Call it President’s Obama’s war on error.
