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

It really is beyond comprehension isn’t it? That a major terrorist attack was attempted which now affects the life of every citizen who flies and he has not one word to say.

Not a word of anger, of reassurance, of renewed effort to protect...not a word.

Put yourself in his place.How could you possibly enjoy your vacation knowing your country just dodged a terrorist attack and you’re the President. I’d be on the 1st plane back whether I wanted to or not. Yet he plays golf and acts like he’s in complete control 5000 miles away. His approval ratings should be approaching 30%.

Well stated.

He delayed the start of his vacation for the all-important senate vote on the socialist Obamacare bill, but he can't be bothered to even take a step outside his Hawaii Party House to make a statement about the botched terror attack attempted by his fellow Muslim against the USA.

What a useless POS he is.

I did not want to jump on the “he’s a Muslim” train right away either.
I don’t know any Muslims personally and I will go by how a person acts more so than what he says or what his religion is.I know Obama is a liar and is a narcissist BIG time.

That being said, there is NO DOUBT in my mind that he is a committed and dedicated, bowing, rug carrying Muslim.

He has proven to me over and over again-not only with his silence and milk-warm reactions to Ft Hood etc., but with his absolute and BRAZEN disrespect and avoidance towards ANYTHING to do with Jesus Christ and our original founding father-GOD.

And that means he only has one agenda: to destroy our God-based America and turn it into an Islamic cesspool by ANY means possible.

He really is Anti-Christ.

how does the American Election system work? We vote the bad guy out of office. Now if “B” is the Bad Guy we vote him out by voting for the “Other guy”. given that the electorate is going to do this i can replace the bad guy with a worse guy every time by just “working” the nominations

The pastor of the Spirit One Christian Center posted this message on the marquee in front of his church: “America we have a Muslim president. This is a sin against the Lord“. Mark Holick, the church’s pastor, refuses to remove the sign.

Meanwhile, new rules on photographing the first daughters...

Be interesting to see what the Fourth Estate does in regard to that "request".

On the important stuff, like Michael Jackson’s death, he immediately issued a statement.

Thanks for that information! I must find a way to send Pastor Hollick a message of support!

This now suddenly ‘ALOHA’ Guy refused to even say it when I personally greeted him with my own warm “ALOHA” greeting back in the mid-1990’s. He and his grandparents had come into my Port of Los Angeles office to pick up his car he had just shipped in from Hawaii via http://www.Matson.com .

Only my later on yelling out “ALOHA” directly up into his left ear, through my cupped right hand, finally got a disgruntled “ALOHA” back from a chin up in the air OBAMA.

Despite this, after OBAMA left with his car I’ll never forget my turning to my office staff and remarking...

“What an interesting young man. I wonder if he will run for President someday? And what will happen to the rest of US if he won?”

CLARITY is Everything, perhaps..?

Obama tried to get to Washington but when he told Airforce One to “take me home” they brought him to Kenya...

"Our original founding father -- GOD."

I like that!!!

It is sadly gratifying to know that so many FReepers have the same reluctant assessment of Obama's real religious faith.
