Obama to speak about Libya at 5:15 ET
hotair ^ | Just now

Posted on 02/23/2011 2:22:11 PM PST by jessduntno

Here’s your open thread for live reaction. Jay Carney claimed earlier today that he’d been silent thus far because of, um, a “scheduling issue,” but obviously there are strategic concerns at work. The fact that he’s speaking up now, before Americans in Libya are fully out of harm’s way, means either that the silence has started to do him real political damage or that Qaddafi’s grip has become so weak that there’s no longer much of a risk that he’ll start taking hostages. There’s some reason to believe that the latter is true: The Journal claims that cities have begun to fall to protesters in western Libya too, and two Libyan military pilots went so far this morning as to bail out and let their jet crash rather than fire on the demonstrators below.

He spoke.

He’s wearing his gray hair today.

And he’s pale. Apparently needs to get back out on the golf course, because his white is showing again.

He interrupted Glenn Beck.

Probably on purpose, but barely.

Gives Beck plenty of time to respond, which he is doing.

I’m guessing he will regurgitate the same old BS from his remarks about the Egyptian uprising.

If it was easy to throw Mubarek under the bus, how much easier will it be to throw Gaddafi under there too?

It’s over. He’s deeply concerned. Loss of life is reprehensible. He’s going to send Hillary places. He’s going to get people together to talk. Pretty much it.

Didn’t Mooshelle tell us it was the lighting that makes his hair look gray sometimes?

I think it may be White Lightening or maybe getting a good look at Michelle in the morning.

You got that right. The same Hillary that was AWOL during the Egyptian crisis.

"He interrupted Glenn Beck."

When I saw his face on the screen, I decided to watch a recorded program on my DVR.

what did he say. i just cannot watch him. I cannot afford to buy another TV, the medical bill, and paying for the fire department to extricate my foot from the 32” inch Maganvox TV that weighed about 150 pounds. (I now have a sony Bravia 32 inch but I would have to do a running jump and fly through the air to hit it.

By now we all know what his response will be!

His highest priority. I thought Job Development was his priority. Oh well Job development is sorta of one of those things that sits on the back burner in the White House kitchen. The pot has gotten to smell pretty bad. So he threw it away.

Golf and Hawaiian vacations also help with the tan. One reason, I’m convinced, he doesn’t want to be seen with his shirt off: tan lines.

Whew, that’s a relief. I thought it would just be a bunch of BS.
