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.
If he dares to use that middle finger, I swear, my head will explode!
Will someone here, please get a screen capture of him doing that?
al-Q said the failed attack *was indeed* retaliation for the bombing in Yemen.
30 minutes ... going live.

Re: Post 153 — that’s some doggie-bag.
Must be 4 or 5 pounds of stuff.
Don’t know if dear leader will be live here or if the live camera will be focused on a screen shot.

Obama to Urge U.S. To Learn From Failed Air Attack
President Barack Obama will urge the United States to keep up pressure on its enemies in his first public reaction to the attempt to blow up a plane bound for Detroit, a White House spokesman said on Monday.
“He will describe the immediate steps the government has taken to ensure the safety of the traveling public,” said White House spokesman Bill Burton.
“He believes it is critical we learn from this incident and take the necessary measures to prevent future acts of terrorism, and he will reference the fact that we need to keep up the pressure on those who would attack our country.”
The statement is expected in the next hour.

He could have sent us a postcard as far as I’m concerned ... just as effective.
2 minute warning.
Are we still waiting for the elusive recorded message from Obama?
A cabana boy just dropped the statement on the podium.
No tie, what a doofus.
“A cabana boy just dropped the statement on the podium.”
LMAO ... Reggie Love out of a job?

Well, he looked like a cabana boy.
