Meaning he’ll actually saunter out around 12:20 or so, mention the plane, and then start attacking Republicans for tying his hands on the Ukraine situation so “he could have prevented this”. . .
Yesterday’s 40 seconds weren’t enough?
“Uh.....I just got the newspaper, so I’m just now finding out what’s going on...”
Maybe he just realized it used to be part of Russia?
I guess they need to try and clean up the optics from yesterday...lets see how tough guy speech Obama goes over today.
Will likely also set a speed record from the podium back into the White House afterwards...no questions!
Obama takes a Mulligan and now wants a re-do.
Valarie Jarrett has prepared the teleprompter for some words to be uttered by her little circus monkey.
Just before his next fund raising event?
Has he decided whether it’s a tragedy yet?
His advisers had to scramble after that blunder.
It will take ‘til then to get his medication balanced out so he doesn’t break into giggles.
Maybe he’s going to report on actions he has taken? /sarc
Saying a prayer the intelligence apparatus will be watching for keywords to jihadist organizations. Might want to pick apart the entire speech.
11:30 uh? What’s his tee-time? And what time is today’s fundraiser scheduled for?
I wonder if he will mention the death of 23 Americans or is that still under investigation? No doubt Obama is reluctant to mention those deaths because it turns the incident into far more than just being a “tragedy.” Will he invoke Reagan or Merkel?
What’s the over/under on how many times he uses “I”, “me”, etc.
“Our hearts go out to those who perished in this terrible tragedy. I’m working with the NSA, the FBI, the CIA, the WHO, and the EIEIO to determine if and whatnot. Words cannot express the depth of stuff and feelings the good people of Mayonnaisia over the loss of their second plane in like a couple of months. We will work to find this one too and those who did this will my Administration in pursuit though there are naysayers we’ll work together to forge ahead and all the people of the world. Goodnight.”
He’ll try to blame Republicans...
Question is, will he now blame Republicans in Congress for the incident or for his pathetic response? Maybe this was the result of actions taken by the Bush administration.
The WH must be getting a lot of flack.
Obama does a ‘do over’ at 11:00 a.m. ET [or thereabouts] this morning — new remarks regarding the Malaysian airliner.
==
Maybe, he has been practicing in front of a mirror on how to bite his lower lip and look concerned.
==
FoxNews now says statement will be at 11:30 ET.
Obama is currently getting a briefing.
He has now finally seen Ronald Reagan’s speech when the JAL airliner was shot down by the Soviets. Can he put aside his bitter slash and burn political agenda long enough to speak for ALL Americans on this?
