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.
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.
Obama has conducted himself as an enemy of freedom in less than 100 days.
