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.
YES.
thank you for your service sir/mam and may you and your family have a happy new year
Really? I hope it's true. I know that in some photos I've seen of Obama addressing the military, the contempt evident on the majority of facial expressions among those being addressed isn't restricted to white faces. It's seemed to me that the black faces look just as contemptuous, but I've always had to factor in wishful thinking on my part.
Do you think my observation may indeed be accurate -- that blacks and whites alike in military ranks generally disdain Obama?
That image says it all.
Thanks and the same to you and yours.
is what is going on there what I think is going on, or is it just a weird angle? was he trying to shake the guys hand?
June 19th was my originl signup date in the military and I had no clue it was "Juneteenth" or whatever the spelling is of that date.
I realize that your logical and understandable assumption is that Biden would be put in place. However, I make no assumptions in how miracles from the Almighty manifest themselves! :^)
To be honest, I am careful what I ask for, and when I say "vanquish," what I really mean to request is that Obama remains alive to old age, hopefully to pass into the same kind of infamous obscurity as Jimmy Carter. I have only the faintest hopes of that happening; I believe Obama's handlers place quite a lot of value on him as a potential martyr and would be inclined to do the deed themselves on their own plan.
Political niceties in observation of due process would put Biden and then Pelosi up as Obama's replacements. I think that in today's precarious state, all bets are off with regard to those niceties. Process and legality are meaningless in today's White House.
As for Biden, I would bet plenty of hard, cold cash that Biden is NOT a committed Muslim. I would not do the same with regard to Obama. As I have posted here, this is a religious war. If my relying on God ends up relying on Biden for a time, at least Biden's loyalties aren't to the fraud Mohammed (curses be upon him!).
Maybe he’s upset the guy failed.
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%.
How can he concentrate on his golf game in the face of such a disappointment.
Let’s get our wording correct, shall we?
This is not “Al Qaeda Attacks America.”
According to the media, this is, “A young Nigerian Man has been arraigned in court on the charge of ‘Attempting to Set Off a Device on an Airplane’”, [or some such]. I did not hear the words “attempted murder”, “terrorist”, “jihad”, “suicide bomber”, or even “Moslem”.
They refused to shake his hand until he returned the salute which, of course he would not. He knows nothing about military protocol.
I couldn't spend that much on a vacation, especially on someone else's dime. And I certainly couldn't even think about it in this economy, not when so many people are losing their jobs and their homes. But I'd be furious..... and ON camera with it!
Merry Christmas America, I hope you'll enjoy your choice of "Hope and Change" President!
“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.”
Because the media are lapdogs for that sick Communist creep. I want my country back! To begin with, I want a President who puts his hand over his HEART, not his crotch, during the Pledge of Allegiance! Obama is a disgrace!!
agree with all of that, well said
