'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.

Peter King was just on CNN as this was being finalized. He is making the point that it is a failure of leadership for Obama to have not addressed the nation over this.

Be fair, he’s monitoring the situation... although I’d feel better if Fred Mertz were monitoring the situation.

I have walked around in disbelief ever since this happened and there's been zero, nada, zilch from the man that some folks call president. I'm outraged, but I'm sure that Obammy wouldn't care if he knew about it--LOL!

Hope you had a very Merry Christmas, Kristinn, and that you will have a very good New Year.

he never went to church, the family did no presents and yet they can go golfing and to the gym.

The man has never said FT Hood was islamic terorrism and took 3 mins after his shout outs to talk about the attack on our own soil.

If Bush had done any of what obama is doing then the media would have gone mad but no obama’s is over there doing nothing as a Christian would do and no one questions this, WHY????
No one is gong mad in the media asking why the president was not informed right away and why has he not put his mug in TV.

The media are just as much to blame as what these radicals are.
If the left and the media do not see what is going on then they’re even more fools than I had first thought.

I mean is it too much after getting their man elected to now do their job ?

When Obama goes on vacation the World Stops.

He’s the epitome of a Narcissist elected by a bunch of bird brains.

Our Country is now a worldwide embarrassment being targeted by every moderate and radical lunatic on the planet and he golfs.

Someone help Obama out and give him his walking papers. He’s not up to the job. Not even close.

This kind of stuff is ho-hum for 3rd worlders like Hussein.

And he wants us to get used to it too.

Remember to Obama, America is nothing special.

it is and this pisses me off.

not one media outlet is asking why this man is not going to church why they don’t swap presents and why is he so much in love with islam even as far going as to say the call to prayer is the most beautiful sound in the world and has been photographed in muslim garb.

then when we get terrorists attacking us nothing, nothing, niche, nada, zilch, zero and yet he’;s quick to put a police man in his place even admitting he does nto know all the details.

This is an outrage, from Gitmo to postponing charges for the mastermind of the USS Cole to his addresses to muslim countries and not ours to a whole series of comments and actions he has made sicne he came on the scene.

it is high time for us to get on the media’s case like the left does and ask them why they will till not do their job

It does seem strange that someone so in love with the sound of his own voice and his own image that he plasters himself 24/7 on TV, would hide from the camera after a terrorist attack.

Since he has used every excuse any one could imagine to get in front of the cameras before, why haven’t we seen nonstop obama telethon on on TV after an attack?

Well DUH, he has been just wanting to TALK to the muslimes. Just taking sides with the muslime bro's. Excuse me, but I HATE the current PO$ occupying the WH.
