Obama "Likely" to Speak About Flight 253 (Dear Leader to interrupt "news free" vacay?)
ABCNews ^ | December 27, 2009 | Jake Tapper

ABC News' Yunji de Nies Reports:

White House sources tell ABC News the President will "likely" speak publicly about the alleged attempted terrorist attack on Flight 253 in the next few days. The President is on vacation in his native state of Hawaii - he has received regularly briefings on the incident and called for increased security for air travel, along with a full review of the terror watch list procedures. While the White House is adamant that the President is actively engaged on the incident behind the scenes, on Saturday he spent more than four hours on the golf course and is spending Sunday with his family at the beach, all the while, he has yet to address the American people directly.

(snip)

Asked about the President's mood during what was supposed a "news-free" vacations, an aide said Mr. Obama is doing is best to "recharge his batteries" but stressed that the President is very concerned about what is going on in the world and is actively engaged at all levels.

He will issue a warning against anti-Muslim backlash.

And thank CAIR for their assistance and expressed desire for rapid justice.

And announce a new anti-terrorism tax to be levied on all American air travelers which will be used to fund educational programs in Nigeria and Somalia.

Good question as to the location. Indonesia has a statue of him as a schoolboy. That might be a good place.

Nope - he needn’t.

And, again, I posted on another thread - I do NOT think he will.

Organized crime / mob bosses = Dem party bosses NEVER interrupt their vacation time for ANY REASON except for a direct attack on themselves. NEVER.

To detour us from the threats, AP has posted this:

Jon Gosselin’s NYC apartment trashed over holidays

NEW YORK — Jon Gosselin’s apartment
was ransacked by someone who slashed furniture, stole his TV and left a note pinned to his dresser with a butcher knife while he visited his children for Christmas, his lawyer said Sunday.

The reality show star was “devastated” by the destruction he found when he returned Saturday from Pennsylvania, attorney Mark Jay Heller said in a statement.

Gosselin’s clothes, bed and other furniture were cut up, and a family-heirloom vase was shattered, Heller said. His TV, other electronics and his dishes were taken by a “very troubled and sick perpetrator,” Heller said. .......

**Is he speaking about Kate or Hailey?

A baggie of explosives? Who knows? Is it constipation or is that a bomb in your colon?

The terrorist has lawyered-up, right?

Now it's all about protecting team Obama.

The terrorist HAS to be a loner. He cannot be part of anything larger because team Obama refuses to recognize a larger threat. They're not enemy combatants. They're all entitled to full Constitutional rights and this one most certainly is - he waited until he was on American soil.

Think about it. His alleged trip to Yemen was just for sight-seeing. The device was likely homemade, which is why he screwed-up, detonating it, right? Sheesh.

Let Obama deny the obvious and let him set forth more screening measures for American citizens. That’ll go over extremely well with the populace. /s

By waiting to speak, he's put himself in another box, right where such an arrogant incompetent belongs.

Exactly - Team Obama is trying to cover for him and his own but even they can’t manage it.

It is SOOOO obvious Zero loathes this country and is totally unqualified to be CIC or resident of the WH.

Yes, am sure the Nigerian Islamist will take full advantage of the US Justice System - his rich father or other friends in the Islamic world will be able to pay for the best in defense lawyers.

ANOTHER instance of illegal classification of a mortal enemy of this country as a mere “criminal” instead of a deadly enemy combatant...in the ....(I know it’s hush hush to use the term) WAR on TERROR! or the Islamic Terrorists’ War on America!
