Obama has released a press statement, CNN just read it on air.

---

How weak was the statement?

[machogirl]

I just saw on cnn that obama was “pleased”.
Isn’t that nice? /s

[rodguy911]

Sounds reasonable. I know few have had the experience in military and political matters from the State dept. down as you have had and I do respect your opinion.

Any chance the entire day after day scenario was just a political maneuver by obama?

[dirtboy]

It didn't take the SEALS/Special forces 5 days to get there.

You really think that you can get the schematics for the lifeboat, set up a training exercise against such, run through it a few times, get on a jet, fly to the closest carrier or airbase, and helicopter out to the destroyer in a couple of days? Suure. How much do you watch 24, by the way?

Julie B. reading it now, too. Saying--we are finally getting word from the WH...yesterday there was controversy because our President had not commented...

[HiTech RedNeck]

Isn’t Rahm Emanuel kind of a hawk?

[STARWISE]

I think I love you ........ ^@^

[roses of sharon]

Do as you wish dirtboy. I have no intention to help the MSM or Hussein, in any way.

I plan to create doubt. Question his judgment. Support his opponents. Ridicule his errors. Mitigate his successes with suggestion of unintended consequences. Refuse to praise his work. Challenge his advocates when they advocate.

You know...the same as the MSM and DNC did to President Bush, for 8 years.

[STARWISE]

ROFL!

[TornadoAlley3]

Obama said he shared in the country's admiration of the captain and military, and we need to all work together international community to prevent this from happening again.

[HiTech RedNeck]

“Pleased” BAH! Bush (or McCain) would have effusively praised the Navy boys.

[Miss Didi]

Lt. Col. Bill Cowan praising Barry now.

[longtermmemmory]

This is piracy in the name of international terrorists.

This is a military matter. Obama is going back to the “mere police” terrorists.

Obama is going back to the failed policies of the clinton and carter eras that gave us 9/11

The FBI is out of their league dealing with this.

(then again so is obama)

[TornadoAlley3]

[HiTech RedNeck]

Find a parade, get in front of it, I guess.

[Syncro]

Yes, I agree.

The good job comment was a repeat of a frivolous comment early on in the thread.

You are correct, except of course the media will saint-ize Obama for His excellent rescue just as if He did it himself.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Awwwww look at the doggie.

[longtermmemmory]

he had to jump out of the boat a second time.

(obama was not counting on that. This success was not in the obozo script)

[dirtboy]

I have no intention to help the MSM or Hussein, in any way.

I think it hurts our cause to attack Hussein no matter what. Just because the DUmmies act like irrational paranoid idiots doesn't mean we have to go down that road. Lies are the liberal currency. Truth and rationality should be ours. Sooner or later the lies catch up with the libs (such as in 1994).

Obama is "Pleased" about the safe rescue of Captain Phillips...
