It took a total of 2 1/2 hours for The White House to all of a sudden speak out after the U.S. Navy flawlessly rescued Captain Phillips from the pirates. This should make everyone's blood boil..

Obummer votes “Present! again!
According to the suckup media, it was TOTUS who gave the captain the order to jump.
“Um Guys? we are talking about housing right now”
FUBO!
Teleprompter was thinking.
It doesn’t bother me that Obama was silent during this or that it took 2.5 hours for him to say something. It bothers me more that we offered a “small” ransom, and didn’t take advantage of the first escape attempt.
Please tell me you are kidding? My heart can't take anymore satire which is too close to the truth.
As someone once said of Ed Sullivan “he will be around as long as other people have talent.”
Clinton was fond of taking credit for other people’s achievements but Clinton is a piker compared to America’s Community Organizer.
TOTUS drags down the military yet the brave finest make him look good. Let’s hope the TOTUS learns a lesson in patriotism in all of this and especially on Easter!
Thanks to God for the rescue!
Does anyone have the text of the statement?

video no longer available. thanks you tube
Dang! They wasted the puppy story!

Obama’s involvement was probably something to the extent of this:
“Let’s try to rescue him.”
He sure wasn’t masterminding the tactics of the operation. I don’t think many people are going to be misled into thinking that.
“Our authority came directly from the President” says the Pentagon guy at the press conference on FoxNews.
A Fox reporter has the Pentagon guy clarify that this was a standing order if the captain’s life was in imminent danger; O was not in direct contact with the Navy at the time.
Pentagon guy: Captain had weapon aimed at him, which Navy saw as the captain being in imminent danger.
NPR reporter at Pentagon presser on Fox: “We want to know how these pirates came to die.” “Are the Seals the ones who did the shooting?”
