Obama to Release Taped Statement About Christmas Terror Attack Later Today (Live Thread)
Monday, December 28, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 12/28/2009 8:57:30 AM PST by kristinn

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.

Using a tape is to try and remove any immediacy, any urgency from the statement.

He is clearly trying to divert attention away from the jihad.

This juxtaposition of priorities needs more exposure.

Wouldn’t want to rush to judgement here...

Don’t want to call the suspect a terrorist until after the criminal trial...

The waves were really breaking...

Too much pu pu platter...

Besides, Robert Gibbs already slipped up by talking about the War On Terror again after the Obama Administration had buried that phrase.

Obama was given an opportunity to look Presidential by getting mad at his State Dept for shoving the Father’s info in a file drawer. Obama could have said -— “I will not stand for this type of incompetence”.

Instead he does nothing.

The American Public is beyond thinking Obama does not care, no the American Public is getting fearful that Obama will let a major disaster happen.

The GOP has to vet on this and demand profiling of all muzzies immediately.

Screw the Marxist in the White House and his bull dyke
at DHS

Rather than let this son of a whore use this incident as an excuse to cavity search Nuns, let’s get these red SOB’s on record on profiling using EL AL methodology

I wonder if he’ll reserve the right to revise and extend his remarks given the new information coming out that puts the fault squarely on his administration.

so that the plane would smash into the good people of Detroit, to kill many hundreds more.

That flight's approaching glide-path goes right over my daughter's house (depending on the runway assigned).

Funny too is that the entire area of the approaches at DTW is heavily populated with arabs (Dearbornistan Heights).

He won’t go on tv because there is no Christmas show he can interrupt.

“Using” being the key word here.

Recall too that he gave a “shout out” to someone at an event before making his remarks on the Fort Hood shooting.

He really does not understand the office he assumed.

An opportunity for another backyard beer fest with Umar the Bomber sitting down with Jasper, the brave Dutch guy who took him down.

Jasper acted “stupidly”, you know!
