Lauer urges Obama to get kickin'.

Interestingly, if you watched that Today interview, it looks like the president was fed the kick-ass line by Lauer, who suggested that people were growing impatient and perhaps looking for the president to "kick some butt".

A few questions and sentences later came the president's explanation that he's not just conducting a college seminar, but meeting with experts to decide whose ass to kick.

ps: Interestin', isn't it, how the president takes to droppin' his g's when he's tryin' to relate to the common people? "Livelihoods bein' smothered"... "We've got to keep on movin', keep on pushin'"...

Very Sarah Palin, eh?
