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.

Not to worry. The known-biased, pro-AGW MET will look into it & report in 3 years.

Gee, ya think we’ll get similar inspiration and reassurance from this president?
Nah!
I was thinking more along the lines of a cover story if he had been successful.
Napolitano: “Of course it was faulty electric lines in the central fuel tank. No terrorist would have targeted this area.”
Willing idiots in DHS
Look at history!!!!!!In President George W. Bush’s Own Words.
The Speech Made by President Bush Within a Few Hours Following the September 11 Attacks.
Speech made from the Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana.
I want to reassure the American people that the full resources of the federal government are
working to assist local authorities to save lives and to help the victims of these attacks. Make no
mistake: The United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for these cowardly acts.
I’ve been in regular contact with the Vice President, the Secretary of Defense, the national
security team and my Cabinet. We have taken all appropriate security precautions to protect
the American people. Our military at home and around the world is on high alert status, and we
have taken the necessary security precautions to continue the functions of your government.
We have been in touch with the leaders of Congress and with world leaders to assure them that
we will do whatever is necessary to protect America and Americans.
I ask the American people to join me in saying a thanks for all the folks who have been fighting
hard to rescue our fellow citizens and to join me in saying a prayer for the victims and their
families.
The resolve of our great nation is being tested. But make no mistake: We will show the world
that we will pass this test. God bless.
Husseine is just emulating his mentor, Osama, who's been using this method of communication for the past few years.
yaaaaawnnnnn
We need a parody headline: “Sunday after the Attack: Obama still reading “My Pet Goat””
Let me predict what his statement will say.
“I . . . I . . . I . . . I . . . I . . . I . . . I . . . I . . . I . . . I . . . I . . . I . . . I . . . Michelle and I . . . I . . . I . . . Malia and I . . . I . . . I . . . Sasha and I . . . and even Bo back in the White House . . . send everyone our best wishes for a safe and happy New Year!”

As I recall, President Bush was severely criticized for staying with the children at the school he visited that day. The media was all over that one.
This time, it’s a president playing golf and frolicking on a beach for four days without a word from him. How much mainstream media criticism have you heard about this?
(Sound of chirping crickets)
I guess it has taken them a while to figure out how to blame President Bush for this.
I wonder what would have happened if george bush remained in Hawaii on the beach for a few days after 9/11, and then released a pre-taped statement a few days later whenever he got around to it...
Barack Obama is a piece of pig poop.
We have had TWO major terrorist attacks in recent months.
The frequency has increased in direct relation to Obama’s neglect.
George Bush waits 2 minutes to leave a school class so as to not frighten the children and the media lambastes him for hesitating.
Obama waits 4 days to address the nation after a terror attack and the media apologizes for interrupting his Hula dancing on his Hawaii vacation.
LOL. It's like a gift from above and prophetic at that!
It’s beyond comprehension this man hasn’t taken to the mic before now, isn’t it?
They already have been trying that in a fairly blatant way. The Obama line has been that these procedures were in place for 2-3 years (under Bush) and he will investigate how to change (these failed Bush policies) these procedures even if he hasn't done anything in 12 months.
