It’s always amazed me how elected officials, the President included, threaten to kick some ass knowing full well that should it ever come down to squaring shoulders, you’ve got the Secret Service to back you up. Chicago Mayor Daley threatened a reporter with a proctological pistol exam knowing he had armed bodyguards protecting him. Still, that’s another story.

According to an article today in Real Clear Politics, President Obama is ready to go gangsta. “I don’t sit around just talking to experts because this is a college seminar, we talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick.”

O.K. Gotcha, Mr. President.

I’ve got an idea; how about kick some Goldman Sachs ass?

In that the management at Goldman Sachs is now refusing to cooperate with the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission forcing a subpoena to gain information after multiple requests and refusals for the same. No help in clearing up their role in one of the greatest economic disasters since the great depression? Want to throw down over spilled fossil fuels? How about picking a fight over the financial collapse?

Mr. President. You’re in the mood to beat some butt, to kick some ass? How about pummeling your pals at Goldman Sachs?
