Four days late, Barack Obama will interrupt his Hawaii vacation and finally speak to the nation today about the Christmas Day terror attack on America. However, he will be hiding from the American people and a media that might (might) ask uncomfortable questions by releasing a taped statement rather than making a live address.
Reports are that he will tape his remarks at the nearby Marine base he has been using for his gym workouts, golfing and beach outings. Obama is staying at a $8.9 million estate that rents for an estimated $4000 per night.
The White House Web site still has not posted any statement by Obama or anyone from his administration about the attack. Late last night the administration updated WhiteHouse.gov for the first time since Christmas Eve with a statement by Obama on the passing of Percy Sutton and one by the National Security Council on the protests in Iran. But still no word on the attempted massacre of 289 innocents on Northwest Airlines flight 253.
The Obama media is parroting the Obama spin that his above-it-all response to the attack is smart strategy, yet it is actually giving the American people the idea that Obama doesn't care enough about the country to take five minutes in four days of fun in the sun to do his job.
Releasing a taped statement will only add to the appearance of distance between Obama and the American people.
Obama dithers while Detroit burns.

Sorry :-)
Yes, yes, yes.
I can't wait to see the huge New York Times editorial shrieking "WHERE IS OBAMA!".
A taped message?
I guess he doesn’t have a teleprompter handy.
Reserving our places ping.
“attempted massacre of 289 innocents on Northwest Airlines flight 253”
And of course we won’t forget that he waited until landing had begun, so that the plane would smash into the good people of Detroit, to kill many hundreds more.
I don’t give a damn what Obama does. The last real president we had should have said something, in a low-key way, just like he went to Ft Hood, while “the zero” was still giving a shout out to his buddies.
The narcissistic megalomaniac deigns to comment.
FUBO!
"I think most of you know that the President has been on something of a strange journey, today.... ABCs Ann Compton was with him all day and told, talked all day about the struggle between the security and the political apparatus whether the President would get back to Washington. Well, the President is back in Washington now and there has been no time in his presidency, and there may never be a time like this again, when it has been so important what he says to the country because I think we all know at moments like this the country looks to the President of the United States for understanding, for, for knitting the country together. And some Presidents do it brilliantly and some do not." - Canadian citizen Peter Jennings on 9/11/2001.
Hey! It’s Tiger Woods! Get in the hole Tiger!
Will he give a shout out and a high five to the bomber?
BHO is a fool!
You can say that again.
Well,he knows its how Osama gets his messages out.
