Nungesser should have bitch slapped him on the beach while the camera's were rolling. It's a shame that it takes public bitching by Nungesser and Carville basically crying on Good Morning America to get Obama's arse down here. You have an environmental disaster of epic proportions going on.

reading the article, it seems like very little chewing out took place in the exchange.

I read the article and don't see where any chewing out happen. Your hunger to bash the President is exposed for what it is.

"Billy Nungesser, the president of Plaquemines Parish whose frustrations about the federal government response have been featured prominently on TV in the past few weeks, told ABC News that in the private meeting the president had with local leaders here today, President Obama "chewed me out."

I have nothing against Obama. I just know that more can be done to prevent the oil from flowing into our marshes and on our beaches. Carville, Brinkley, Nungesser have been leading the charge to get into Washington's ear. But the question, is OBAMA listening. If you think, that Obama's administration is doing everything they can, I suggest you take a ride to visit the polluted areas and talk to the people who's future is threatened. I know that the government or BP can hire more cleanup crews or build more sand levees but it is not happening. The title of this thread is merely a summation of the attached title from ABC News article.

I think its pitiful that the POTUS spends time to let a local paish official know that he doesn't appreciate the comments. The fact is without Nungessers comments I doubt any additional action would have happened.

The POTUS needs to make things happen and when its over he can scold whom ever he wishes.
