His PrompTUS text had nothing to say about the pirate attack Cabinet: Your excellency, one of our ships has been hijacked by pirates!
H.O.:
What do you want ME to do about it? Just handle it, is THAT clear?
Cabinet: Yes, your excellency.

” The actions of this president are beyond disgusting.
Obama is incompetent, inexperienced, naive, indifferent and undeserving of being in charge of our nation.
I might also add that I consider him to be a coward without integrity or honor of any kind.”
Amen on all points

I puke in his general direction. He can’t even say, “We’re working on it.”

Obama refuses to comment! Of course he did — the black racist Muslim sonuvabitch didn’t want to offend his fellow African black Muslims...

They (the terrorists) have decided that we are weak and this is the test. This is the beginning and he will fail miserably.
Reflections of Clinton flashing before my eyes as the embassy’s were blown up, the Cole was struck and the trade center was attacked not once but twice and the whole time we played with cigars ...
Obama is just part of the witt family
Obama is the Dim Witt
Pelosi is the Half Witt
reid is the Nit Witt

Yep - Clinton was just a male slut. Obie-the-wan is on a mission...to create chaos in the world. And, it’s working.

The bastard couldn’t even condemn the actions of the pirates.
HE IS A TRAITOR to every American and our Constitution!

“these are not the Somalian fishermen I knew”
To Obama, it's more like: "There, but for the grace of Allah, go I".
Obama can identify with those hostage takers/pirates/terrorists. He's probably sympathizing with them and the thought has probably entered his mind that, if he hadn't been brought to the U.S. by his mom, that he probably could have ended up being one of those pirates. Obama is putting himself in those pirate shoes.
