Teddy Gave the Barbery pirates an ultimatum to release pirated Americans or die.
They were released.
This penis less obamma lamma will probably offer these pirates some relief money.

Its also the model that America will become, defenseless against aggressors in all shapes, forms and manners.

Feds control the internet but refuse to stop cyberterrorists from China, feds confiscates guns but refuses to aggressively curtail gangs and drug lords.

Islam is rejoicing, the great Satan has surrendered.

Of all the problems that we have in this world, pirates in tiny boats on the open sea is the easiest to resolve.

And we have a wide array of arms to choose from, depending on the statement we wish to make.

But the inaction, or worse paying ransom, is sending a different, more ominous message to the terrorists around the world.

The world is laughing their asses off at Obama and the MSM. They got their man and now they can have everything they want at US Taxpayer's expense.

Gee, I wonder if Obama will apologize for our sailors daring to do business on the high seas.

Here we go.

This cannot be allowed. Obama will have to act.

Can they really hijack an American ship with Obama in the White House to protect us?

"Yes, They Can!"

suprise, suprise. the pirates don´t stop hijacking ships. this is what you get when the worst thing a pirate could happen is that a navy vessel draws them off so they have to try again on the next day.

Given that this is red meat to Limbaugh, would it be a move to deliberately harass Obama based on some Kenyan-Somali feud that almost nobody knows about?

The GOP won’t be too thrilled in their public statements either. Even Steele might condemn it.

If you think you have a valid psychological profile of Obama and what his response could be, what direction do you think he will go with this event?

We shall see how this develops
A serious and extended kidnapping of Americans is Carter-esque
And will be a drip drip drip of bad news

0bomo will be inclined to pay millions in ransom, not use force of arms against his moon rock worshiping bruthas

WELCOME BACK CARTER!!

Could these nuts keep Obama cooped up in the White House for 3 more years and 8 months? It might almost be worth the suffering.

Pay the ransom? Obama authorizing American tax dollars to an enemy of the USA?

It is possible this a ruse to make Obama look good.

The TOTUS may not have his own brain, but who knows.

My guess is as good as yours. Rahm Emanuel running the show? Except that Rahm would have never wanted Obama to be so soft on Israel’s enemies.

Has an American flag shipped been captured by these pirates during the Bush administration?

Nah these grubby pirates just lucked out and found some American meat on their plate. If we or allies have any vessels or air in the area they should be preventing these pirates from spiriting the American deep into Mogadishu slums

Or maybe pirates are Chinese or Russian stooges and got tipped off about American crew on board
