Continuing to Vote "Present"
Environmental Republican ^ | 4/11/09 | sswenviron

Posted on 04/11/2009 7:00:18 AM PDT by sswenviron

Here we have Americans being held--two by nations that President Bush named as part of the Axis of Evil--and he has opted to do nothing. In other words, he's doing what he always has done when a difficult issue faces him, he is voting "present".

We are seeing our enemies try to get a measure of the man and he's not measuring up at all. First it was arresting reporters under dubious charges and now it's escalated to attempted high jacking and kidnapping--a tactic that never would have been used when Bush was in office as those who perpetrated the act knew we would respond forcefully.

Glad to see The One has changed world perceptions of us. Under Bush they just hated us, now they hate us and think we've become soft and weak like liberals.

He’s not present. He’s here. He’s there. He’s everywhere. He’s bowing at Muslim kings, but he’s not present the WH taking care of the country.

Our Nation is adrift. No leader present, only an empty suit.

Don't underestimate Obama. He's working feverishly behind the scenes, taking time out from flying in pizza and Kobe beef, to work on a solution to this problem. It has embarrassingly come to his attention that 3 of the 4 “maritime activists” are ACORN staffers and campaign contributors. Obama is busy negotiating an equitable and fair settlement. TOTUS will have more on this breaking situation as it develops.

I don't think he's eating pizza, arugula maybe, but not pizza.

They are asking for $2 million. The White House is checking this to see if it’s a mistake. After all, no one asks The Obamessiah for measly MILLIONS. That’s disrespectful.

When holding Americans hostage (whether you are using real guns, or just a threat to the economy) under the Obama regime, it is customary to demand BILLIONS!!

It’s just simple etiquette!

Don’t be silly. As long as the Hussein Media refuses to make an issue of these abductions, they are of no real importance. In fact, they hardly even happened at all. But should Palin not have proper records showing compensation to the republican party for a dress...now THAT’S NEWS!!!

Since this last act of piracy was on Americans and one hostage it should have opened the door on an all out war. King Obama is a coward and a fool.
