CNBC Host Says Obama Sullied Office With '*** To Kick' Line

Not everybody was pleased with President Obama's uncharacteristic line on the Today Show, spoken in the pre-school hours Tuesday morning, that he wants some "*** to kick" in the Gulf oil crisis.

Becky Quick, who co-hosts Squawk Box with lead anchor Joe Kernen and co-host Carl Quintanilla, slapped Obama for using unpresidential language in an interview he knew would be aired as children prepared for school.

"If you're the president of the United States and you go on the Today Show which is a morning show, where you're going to have a lot of kids sitting around watching this, I think you choose your words more carefully," said Quick. "Using the A word when you are on the Today Show talking with Matt Lauer, yeah, that disturbs me. But I also think that this is a way of trying to prove that I'm mad, to do exactly what everybody's been pushing me to do, and it doesn't ring true."

Obama has been under pressure in the media and even among his friends, notably film director Spike Lee, to air more passion when addressing the oil crisis. But Quick, who said she likes the president, said he sullied the office on the Today Show.

"When you are the president of the United States, you should speak of the office and there are events and time and places where maybe you get fired up about things. It sounded like he was using this to try and prove that he was mad and I think that's silly," she added.

"You can point to people who say these things all the time, we've used these words, but again, if you're the president of the United States and you are on the Today Show I would expect a different choice of words," she said.

So much for that higher ejemakashun he gots. Now his Panther roots are showin'

lolol,,,haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

if your kids are getting ready for school, why are they pinned to the television anyway,,,,,my son has to be AT school at 7 am, his younger relatives are on their school buses by 630, and if they are trying to watch television , I DOUBT its the today show...lmao

Today show airs here at 7am.

Also, the question was ASKED of him why he wasnt kicking butts and he answered in context the question he was asked,,(with a little more natural sounding use of words),,,

people really make too much out of silly things to the point that they miss the world turning around

sullied the office? Do you think the president is friggin royalty? I say, sully the office as much as possible! The presidency needs to return to its Jeffersonian humility.

I'm afraid that headline contained a typo ... seems that erstwhile li'l J-school 'graduate' didn't know how to spell 'LICK' ...

That's only for certain areas, school doesn't start until 8am where I grew up. I think a better question would be...what kids are actually watching politics before they go to school?

Agreed.
The closest he ever gets to royalty is his bird's-eye view of the Saudi Kangs zipper.



My bad. The Kang wears a dress.

Good for him.

I just wish he really would start kicking *****.

He is so bent on bringing this country together and being bipartisan that he is way too nice to those who oppose him.

I say let the *** kickin begin.

I love it.

leave him alone

now that was funny!

I agree,,either someone is claiming he is too diplomatic, or they imply that he is too urban,,,, noone can please everyone, but I am certainly pleased with him. He has the right balance for my taste.

What kids are watching the Today Show before they go to school? LMAO.

even more hilarious,, arent there advertisements at ALL times of the day for a movie called 'Kickass'? Do parents think their kids arent exposed to and aware of the word and its meaning? At least Mr Obama used the word in the context of the question asked of him.

How marvelously absurd! I couldn't make better satire of Obamabots than this!

what was absurd about it?

Wasn't it just early last week the MSM was complaining about him not showing enough "emotion" and accusing him of being stoic?

Whadda crazy sideshow America is becoming...

things do seem inconsistent on so many issues like,,,

under 18 is too young to consent to sex, but old enough to be held responsible for murder

people should take care of themself, but if people take care of themself because they have been excluded, its discrimination

the president is weak because he aknowledges america is not perfect, but pompous for supposedly not aknowledging that he is not (although he has several times)

,,,,,,its the times , they are a changing,,,,always have and always will

They may be changing, it is just the trend that is a bit of a bother.

I remember a time not too long ago when there was this specific syndrome that was applied to critics of President G W Bush...

What was it called? Oh yea.. "Bush Derangement Syndrome"

I guess it applies to President Obama critics as well. I mean I am no great fan of President Obama because he does seem to side with multinationals (i.e. Banks, Pharma, etc) but man I haven't ever in life seen so much hatred.

Funny how 'The UN' can do NOTHING for the longest time during an emergency, but let Spike Lee say that he wants to see 'The UN' "go off!", well, Obammy's right on the case the very next day and he's all enraged and he's all about 'kick asss' ... Sorry, but that line belongs to 'Cartman' on 'South Park' - and 'Cartman' would be better equipped to do it, too ...

I doubt it had as much to do with Spike Lees statement as it did the QUESTION the reporter asked him about kicking butts,,,
