'Stylin' Obama Turns Camera Shy When Al Qaeda Attacks America on Christmas Day
Saturday, December 26, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 12/26/2009 5:58:24 PM PST by kristinn

Barack Obama has kept his face in front of the American people nearly every day for two years from the Democratic primary, general election and first year of his presidency. Every event of note in America brings a statement from Obama and an appearances on TVs everywhere. Except for the brazen al Qaeda Christmas Day attack on America yesterday.

It has been over thirty-six hours since the terrorist attack on Northwest flight 253, yet Obama has not appeared before the American people to voice his outrage, or to voice his praise of the passengers and crew who thwarted the attempt, or even to just let the world know he is on top of the situation.

Instead, he golfs.

The front page of the White House website has nothing about the terrorist attack. The latest update on the front page is Obama's weekly address posted December 24th.

The White House Briefing Room section contains no statements on the terror attack. Its last posting was also on December 24th.

There have been no on camera statements by any member of the Obama administration since the terror attack.

CNN reports the White House told their reporter Ed Henry that jumping in front of the cameras over the attack is not Obama's "style".

The White House told reporters earlier today that Obama took a conference call with his national security team at 6:20 a.m. Hawaii Standard Time. Thirteen minutes later he already was in his motorcade heading to play golf.

Obama's message to America is he doesn't really give a (fig) about this attack on the country on Christmas Day. It's just not his style.

Obama either

a) wanted the attack to succeed, so he could blame it on Tea Party members

b) wanted it to be thwarted by someone he himself had hand-picked, so he could share in the reflected glory.

c) is hiding, since he knows the war on terror is an even weaker subject for him than

the economy
unemployment
his unearned Nobel Prize
support for the troops
keeping Gitmo open (for the left)
civilian trials for terrorists
needing a teleprompter
Global warming
cap-n-trade
immigration reform
stopping a nuclear Iran
race relations
voter fraud and ACORN
nationalizing auto companies
nationalizing banks
The Wall Street Bailout
controlling the national debt
stabilizing trade with China
keeping the dollar as the World's reserve currency
...on second thought, what the hell difference does one more FUBO make?

Cheers!

I thought at first this was over the top, then I thought no way could so many have been duped but as time went by and his actions along with his comments went on I along with others I know can only come to the conclusion that this man is a muslim or a man who has his feelings more towards muslims than America.

The evidence is overwhelming and if anyone has an ounce of a brain than they would come to the same conclusion.

The media however are a disgrace to their profession and themselves and they are just too much involved into their agenda or thinking that they have no idea they are.

Obama is the biggest piece of shit to ever grace the White House...and that is the same place LBJ lived and Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton...AND THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING.

Obama hates this country and is a total scumbag.

I in no way would feel the way of ignoring the country nor could I feel that I could leave the country to carry on knowing that lives are at risk.

I myself would feel a huge sense of responsibility and know that even I have advisors the buck stops with me and I would want to know everything what goes on especially the terrorist aspect and yes I would call it what is was an islamic terrorist attack if it were.

PC would not stop me and if that means not another 4 years then so be it but I also know the majority are fed up of of PC and want to call it what it is .

Keeping a close eye on the Amish pacifists, the Buddhist pacifists and the Franciscan nuns.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your husband!

More and more O is getting trapped between a rock and a hard place. His Nobel speech was the perfect example: He HAD to say what he said about just wars, because we're in one. Not to say it would trap him, and so would saying it.

Now we see it with the Christmas terrorist attack. To condemn it would hurt him with his pals, and to ignore it hurts him more.

When you try to be a lefty to the lefties and still be called an American that's the kind of dilemma you get into.

May the pincers from the Left and from commonsense Americans remove this duplicitous impostor from power.

I've wondered the same thing. I guess he's laying on the beach and hiding from the American people because he doesn't want to answer tough questions.

bozo thinks by winning the election, he gets to treat the presidency like a 4 year vacation with adoring fans.

Sadly I know several very educated Americans who were taken in by the Obama hypnosis. And the propaganda/brainwashing that they get from NPR, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NY Times, etc insure that they cannot tolerate the truth about him....about the Dem party’s bent on destruction of this country as well.

The White House is lying. Their original press statement was that Obama was informed of the attacks betwee 9:00-9:30am Hawaii time, leaving a good two hour gap between the flight landing and Obama notification.

This is cover his rear BIG TIME and we need to hold the administration and the media’s feet to the fire.

Why would you expect him to make an appearance? He mentioned the FT.Hood attacks only in passing while well into a ceremony at the White House.
