'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.

Obama evidently IS a Muslim. I used to think I'd only say that as a joke, but now I believe there's a very high probability that indeed, Obama is a committed Muslim.

His personal and "national" loyalty belongs to Islam.

May God, in Jesus' name, provide a miracle that vanquishes Obama from the White House and restores to the U.S.A. free markets, Judeo-Christian values, and liberty as envisioned by our Founders. Amen!

Not Obama's style? Lord no, how we all know that Zer0 isn't a camera whore.

That just means Obama's speech coaches are not with him in Hawaii. Obama's electoral success is built almost entirely upon his hypnotic, scripted speeches constructed by hypnotism experts. He will be ready in a day or two with a slow, rhythmic response punctuated with triggering hand gestures.

And plenty of "I"s.

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

Of course, he was on his way to the 'scenic' golf course located on the Marine Corps base there...Hawaii ain't noted as a hardship assignment.

No doubt in my mind, he is a Muslim.

All of the adult members in my family, about 20 people, all agree he is a Muslim. We all agree he is rancid poison.

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

Thanks for your service. Well, I have 37 + years of military service and I have never seen anti potus sentiment as I have since Nov 2008, and most are African American soldiers.

... or to voice his praise of the passengers and crew who thwarted the attempt ...

He is preparing charges against those who thwarted the attack.

You do realize that you are relying on Joe Biden - right?

Don’t worry he will use them as photo ops at the State of the Union Address.

You should include Carter while you’re at it. Arguably worse than Clinton, especially considering he did it all in only 4 years.

Obama refused to call the Ft. Hood attack terrorism, after all the attacker was on his transition team. Obama called the Christmas airliner attack an “attempted attack” as the bomb did not fully ignite. Obama affords terrorist the protections of civilian criminal courts. Obama curtailed Bush era surveillance measures to protect civil rights, terrorist civil rights. Obama is pretending there are no terror attacks since he took office. Unfortunately preventing terror attacks requires planning, diligence, legal tools, effective prosecution, and will; all attributes lacking in our President and the enemies of the country he put in charge of government. Obama will avoid addressing the American people on the recurring attacks so as to pretend there are no attacks.

The scary thing is, I would take Biden at this point. I think most here would, and we’re as well-informed about Biden a large group as there is.

It’s frightening to consider, but there it is.

I believe we're in the early stages of a religious war, the first in who knows how many generations. It is Islam versus Christianity again, but in a sense, it is Islam versus secularism. Secularism is empty; only one (well, two, derived from the same bible, Old and New Testament) source is the fount of Judeo-Christian wisdom, the "thinking-man's" moral credo. Judeo-Christianity is proven; Western Civiliation is not perfect, but it certainly is has created the most prosperous, harmonious, generous, compassionate, and probably ONLY slave-free society in the history of man.

Many good people don't regard Judeo-Christianity as a strength; don't regard secularism and atheism as a weakness; and fail to realize that we are actually facing a religious war -- the first one in many centuries. Sad, scary, regretable ... but true nonetheless.

"Well, I say it's terrorism and I say we should start profiling them Muslims on every flight! Hey, we could do an act to educate people about the dangers of Islamoterrorists! I have a great Arab costume we could use from my Vaudeville Days! Ricky, you've got that great accent..."
