Obama In Complete Control Of Spill - Doesn't Know If Birnbaum Was Fired

Giving his first press conference in 308 days, Obama used the timing of BP's most ambitious effort yet to plug the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico to attempt to convince the American people that he's in control and is taking responsibility for the spill, like a third string quarterback coming in when his team is up by 4 touchdowns and taking credit for the win. But all that aside, his claim that he didn't know whether Birnbaum had been fired or not creates exactly the opposite message he was trying to convey. So let's get his story straight. He claims that he's in supreme and complete control of one of the worst environmental disasters in our history, yet says he's unaware of the removal of a key division head who's agency just so happens to be at the center of the controversy regarding the very same disaster? Of course the idiots at Daily Kos are praising Obama for "taking action" and firing Birnbaum. Which raises the question to the Obama regime, were you lying before, or are you lying now? Or is he really just that incompetant?
