President Barack Obama on Wednesday called the ongoing municipal water crisis in Flint, Michigan, "inexplicable and inexcusable" and said government "broke down" in its responsibility to protect public health.
Obama, during an interview in Detroit with CBS set to air later this week, said he understands why Flint residents are outraged. The city's water supply has been contaminated with lead and other pollutants for months after a state-approved plan to save money by switching to corrosive Flint River water from the Detroit municipal system.
Obama, in an interview set to air on CBS Sunday Morning, told host Lee Cowan that government in Michigan "broke down" in its responsibility to protect public health and safety.
"What is inexplicable and inexcusable is once people figured out that there was a problem there, and that there was lead in the water, the notion that immediately families weren't notified, things weren't shut down," Obama said. "That shouldn't happen anywhere."

I hope that Snyder ends up in jail. A hope and...... (I think back to this)....
On the morning of the Watergate Break In, and as we were beginning to hear about it, I thought, maybe Nixon had something to do with it..Oh that couldn't be. Also, I remember vividly, that as John Dean spoke about what was going on, at the hearings implicating Halderman and Erlichman and Nixon by default, through conversations that he, Dean, participated in...I remember thinking as Dean spoke..wouldn't it be something if there was a recording of all of that ...to prove that Dean was telling the truth..now I know I was not the only one thinking that, so I was not alone, but that is what I thought
..................and there turned out to be such a recording............unknown to almost everyone..........
so, the emails and all the evidence of the Snyder cover - up, may have been erased, and destroyed. we understand that now
but..if there is one honest person in that administration, just one, maybe two. (like deep throat).. then, who will the people of Michigan believe? As the horror unfolds, who will most believe.? the politician in charge, or the testifier against the politician in charge..
Also, I do believe that the word inexplicable was used on purpose. We all know it can be easily explained, but proof of Snyder's involvement and direct responsibility does not exist yet. Obama, by using the word, points to Snyder, and says we need more proof that you did it, but we will get you when it comes out...inexplicable..we need clear evidence and proof for the truth to be known.
Later...then after that proof, the explanation will be clear.. we will call you the crook and poisoner that you are.. then, we will point to you. and.... and then everyone will understand, who, what, where, how and why.
2nd possible explanation for the the use of the word inexplicable:...
.....How do you explain the selfishness and greed of the Republicans that did this? How selfish and evil can they be that they would knowingly poison a cities water supply ? or...after some evidence is presented that the supply is quite dangerous..that they (the Republican leaders) knowingly did nothing?
Is there one honest person in that administration who knows and willing to testify?
