Damn, this is so frustrating, and still not a word from the Bozo in chief!! What the hell is he waiting for?
Take out strongholds since we know where they are and sink any boat that looks like a pirate ship.
“Operation kill pirates” needs to start, like yesterday.
Drudge has a story that he is annoyed with this and sees it as a distraction. I think that someone needs to tell him that they made a movie about Teddy Roosevelt and his dealings with kidnappers called “The Wind and The Lion”. It might capture his attention more than the crisis itself....he might find it more than a distraction, if he thought that they would make a movie about him.
What exactly does he think the President of the United States does? He certainly has no historical sense of the job.
Obama was asked about this yesterday and he sloughed it off, saying he wanted to stay on the subject at hand, at the time something about housing.
Some liberal pundits or another, including Ed Morrisey of Hot Air...normally a SANE fellow, defended Obama and his lack of response as there are likely delicate negotiations going on and it would not do for the president to say something that might upset things.
Only one problem here...WHY CAN'T THE PRESIDENT EXPRESS HIS BEST WISHES FOR THE CAPTAIN AND HIS FAMILY????
What, the pirates would kill the captain if Obama said he prayed for a good outcome for the captured captain?
I don't care how much fools want to defend Obama, this man is no leader. Frankly I think he wanted to avoid "offending" the Muslim pirates by wishing the American citizen well while remaining mum on the health of the pirates. For sure Obama didn't want to wish the pirates well...but of course?
But it's what he wants as I see it, it's the only way to interpret his lack of response. I can't ever recall an American president not standing up with good wishes for American citizens in danger...at the very least.
And I do think Americans across the fruited plains, just as soon as this drama ends, will so note.
he doesn;t want to go back on his word that we are not at war with islam...lol
He gave TOTUS Good Friday off....
For Clooney and Jolie to arrive.
Clooney to intimidate them and Jolie to distract them by trying to convince them to let her adopt one or two of their children.
