...as Hillary would like to define it.That was the purpose of the nervous giggle/chuckle during her comments re the situation: to minimize its gravity.

It's above his pay grade.. And he's not throwing the Ball at the Nationals.
Obama is an inexperienced, affirmative action educated COWARD!

"Mark my words...It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama...And he's gonna need help....we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right." - Joe Biden So far so good. The world keeps testing Bambi, and so far it's not apparent that he's right.

The president who took office in January has proved willing in many cases to field off-the-cuff questions from reporters at the close of events at the White House, even on matters differing from his focus that day.
But not in this case.
When reporters asked the president directly about the incident on Thursday, he demurred. Instead, he stayed on his message of the day, saying: “Guys, we’re talking about housing right now.” At the end of a White House meeting with his economic advisers on Friday, reporters asked when the Obama girls’ dog was arriving. He laughed and said, “Oh man, now that’s top secret.” He also said he looked forward to seeing the reporters at Monday’s Easter egg roll.
They asked about the pirates. No answer.

It’s not a US ship. It is a Dutch ship with an American crew.
As far as schwacking the province where these people came from, a better plan would be to take out the shipping they use to carry out their piracy. Fewer causalties and collateral damage.

“The spin I heard on FOX tonight was that its merely piracy and the POTUS has more important things to do and to address it would elevate these criminals.”
“Zero is un-freaking-believable!!!”
It seems to me this would be part to his job duty and in the Constitution as compared to the other things he's doing.

But not in this case.From the article: "On Thursday, the second day of the incident, the White House portrayed Obama's role as an attentive listener who was getting frequent progress reports but not getting directly involved in operations."
Sounds like his role is no different than mine.

Asked by reporters about the piracy Thursday, Obama declined to respond. Same again on Friday. It is very simple to understand. He doesn't know what to say or how to respond. Most Americans haven't figured this out yet, but Hussein is clearly in way over his head as POTUS. His tactic will be to hide, defer or prattle foolishly and incoherently when he is faced with really difficult problems. It is the MSM that is trying to delude the American people into the belief that he is smart and engaged.

These so called pirate's, are islamic terrorist from somalia the same people that brought us Black Hawk Down and desecrated our American servicemen. They're his comrades buddies, this is why he says nothing. Remember the bow to the king? Not so undercover muslim brother....IMO They,the terrorist,will be paid and released but we'll never hear about it..

Its not a US ship. It is a Dutch ship with an American crew.It's sailing under a US flag. It doesn't matter who owns the ship.

The next news report of Somali pirates should come in 2109, not 2009. My plan guarantees 100 years of pirate-free navigation, yours might buy 10 at best.

I agree, this whole mess smells like racism. Obama as pres is not suppose to bow to anyone but he favors Islam and blackness not white folks like the Queen of England or a heroic captain.
