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.
Not Obama's style? Lord no, how we all know that Zer0 isn't a camera whore.
The Left and the Media are one and the same.
if the terrorist was white obozo would be johnny on the spot to say he acted “stupidly” glad I dont have to see or him..nice 36 hours I had in 2 years!
Well said bump.
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”
Peter King saying that is a shock in itself. He is correct.
I’m just surprised he didn’t give another big “Shout Out” to somebody when he heard the news.
Come on, let the guy celebrate Eid in peace, will ya?
“Since he has used every excuse any one could imagine to get in front of the cameras before, why havent we seen nonstop obama telethon on on TV after an attack?”
It is rather strange, I expected him to be on there with his “We must not jump to conclusions” garbage.
ping to an article
well stated.
-dayum, that’s all of it in a nutshell...
His Brother trys to blow up a plane and you expect him to comment ?
Besides he can’t be bothered hes on vacation not reading to school children theres no panic to re-direct ...
Obama and the Nigerian terrorist have a lot in common...they’re both African muzzies who want to destroy America.
his first national address was not to this country but to the muslim world
I MEAN WTH.
This is what will happen if, G-d forbid, one of these murder plots gets through the fence. Obammy will suddenly become the “man who wasn’t there.” The state-run media won’t even mention his name until they figure out how to spin it, which may take days. It’ll be like nobody in the media ever even heard of Barack Obama.
We need more Kings I am fed up of those who will not call a spade a spade.
obama is nothing but a muslim and if the left wants to ignore that then so be it
Did TOTUS get left behind with BO?
C’mon, cut O a little slack! After all, today’s the first day of Kwanzaa, and tomorrow is the Islamic holiday of Ashura. He’s way too busy! /extreme sarcasm
Agreed. This guy is the biggest scumbag we could have elected.
was the attack on Friday?
is the sabbath for muslims on a friday?
why was he not notified for some time and where was he?
Was he in the mosque and not to be disturbed.
i don’t know maybe he was back on the drugs again but the media need to start doing their jobs and find out why this guy does not celebrate Christmas, why no presents and why was he not informed or addressed the nation
