Who would have guessed that one of President Obama’s biggest foreign tests in his first 100 days would come from a ragtag band of pirates and a high-seas hostage drama?
The Pentagon has dispatched naval firepower, and the FBI sent in hostage negotiators But Obama has remained silent on the standoff so far.
His top lieutenants have fired back with broad pledges to solve the problem of piracy in the region — without providing detailed plans for doing so.
Attorney General Eric Holder said this week the United States will take whatever steps are needed to protect U.S. shipping interests against pirates, but he also said it is too early to tell what action the U.S. government might take against the pirates if they are captured.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for world action to “end the scourge of piracy.”
Obama is silent because he doesn’t want to answer the question: “Why did he order the Navy to provide fuel to the terrorists in the lifeboat?”
This idiot has written so many checks his azz will never be able to cash.

Over 500 promises!
What, does he have 10,000 people on his staff? Or will all of his “fulfillment” actions be rushed and haphazard like his bailouts and budgets were.
