'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.

I’d feel better if Fred Mertz were monitoring the situation.

I see....So Barney Fife isn't good enough for you?

He didn’t give a flying flip about Fort Hood—except not rushing to judgement on the terrorist—and he doesn’t care about this. It will be business as usual.

Marc Ambinder at the Obama-worshipping Atlantic gives the Obama-media take on Obama goofing off today:

But an in-person Obama statement isn't needed; Indeed, a message expressing command, control, outrage and anger might elevate the importance of the deed, would generate panic (because Obama usually DOESN'T talk about the specifics of cases like this, and so him deciding to do so would cue the American people to respond in a way that exacerbates the situation.

That's right Mr. and Mrs. America. You're the ones who have to deal with all the TSA bull**** and Obama's soft on radical Islam political correctness that has emboldened al Qaeda this year yet you are the problem. You're stupid and just not cool enough to dig what Obama's layin' down. If he speaks you'll go out and whack muslims in the street just like you did every time Bush spoke out against terrorism.

Wait, Americans didn't do that, but no matter, Obama, Marc Ambinder and the Obama-media think Mr. and Mrs. America are the greater threat.

Iran killings? Nothing. NY Terrorist Ring Arrests? Nothing. FT. Hood? Nothing. Failed terrorist takedown of a airline? Nothing.

He wasted no time condemning the Dr.Tiller (the abortion doctor) killing or calling that Cambridge cop "stupid",though....

Go to The Obama File by our own FReeper, Beckwith.
Read the sections, ‘Islam’ http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaIslam.htm
and ‘religion’ http://www.theobamafile.com/ObamaReligion.htm.
The evidence is overwhelming.

Or maybe he (Obama) is just waiting for an excuse to present the perp with a Medal of Honor (or freedom or whatever). That should get him some press time with his constituency.

One of CNN’s talking heads indicates that responding to the terror attack is just “not Obama’s style”. Wow....

Glad you posted this info.

(I was actually GLAD Zero did not come before the cameras - but he should have).

Oh - but he did sacrifice 30 mins of his vacation time to do a photo op with our troops at a base in Hawaii.

People need to understand - Organized crime lords and Democrats (one and the same) ALWAYS TAKE THEIR VACATIONS AND CANNOT BE DISTURBED DURING THEM.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THEM, YA KNOW.

So his country experiences a terrorist attack? so what.

Vacation is vacation doncha know.....especially when its a cuz who did the attack....no big deal.

“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.”

Agreed, but I doubt it will happen.

All of the people who voted for him were blinded by the cult of personality and/or long ago lost their survival instincts.

They don’t expect a “Chief Executive” to suddenly emerge now because they never looked for one in the first place.

his first national address was not to this country but to the muslim world

Yes, and that is why the PO$ has not addressed the muslime shooting of the troops at Ft. Food either. Look, the MF is a muslime at heart and will never stand up with real Americans. I live less than 90 miles from Ft Hood and know a lot of soldiers who went there before deployments. Most hate his guts.

I know that about most of the military not liking him as I served too.

I remember someone posting a KOS thread n here about bozo and the shootings and they were saying how great it is that they now have a POS loving them and they all love bozo.

As I was reading it I was thinking that these people are even more put of it then I had first thought.

He doesn't celebrate Christmas because Jesus was a Jew.

It's official whitehouse policy that Jews, Christians, and the united states suck.

I was just thinking about how he wasn’t notified for 3 hours- you know finally someone said oh sh-t I guess we gotta tell him. Because telling him is not the first thought. Because they know he doesn’t do anything.
