President Obama on Thursday called Chilean President Sebastian Piñera to congratulate him and his government on the rescue of 33 trapped miners after 69 days underground, the White House said in a statement.
"The president hailed the rescue as a tribute not only to the determination of the rescue workers and the Chilean government, but also the miners and the Chilean people who have inspired the world. President Piñera conveyed his thanks to the president, the United States government, and the American companies and individuals who provided support for the rescue efforts," the statement said.
After watching President Pinera's speech, I posted http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2607093/posts noting that it was obvious our POTUS had not phoned Pinera during the entire 70 DAYS to offer any kind of support. It was equally obvious the Pinera went out of his way to make this known to anyone reading between the lines when he thanked everyone BUT Obama.
Obviously someone from the WH communications office monitors FR because on Thursday, Obama was on the phone to Pinera. The man occupying the White House is pathetic, and if anyone wants an example of what REAL LEADERSHIP in a time of national crisis looks like, President Pinera offered a great example. Humble, patriotic, and he stayed awake and greated EVERY miner as he was raised to the surface.
uh, y’know just want to give a shout out to my chilean counterpart....
what a pompous as8
FUBO!!!
Of course he will not give any credit to people in the US that helped with the miners. The President of Chile has already thanked everyone that helped. Including our country.
Hey Chile!
Wanna swap Presidents?
Dear Leader had time for George Looney.
“O” ain’t never gonna be ready for prime time!! Period!
That must have given hussein a headache.
0bama is beyond pathetic.
Great job, milwguy! Maybe now you can get Obama to release his college records.
Maybe we can get Piñera to file for a Certificate of Live Birth from Hawaii...
Obama and his crew would still be studying the enviormental effects of trying to rescue the miners.
Obama’s just envious that he can’t get out of HIS damn hole that fast!
Worse late than never. SOBama has again revealed himself to be a soulless swine.
“President Obama on Thursday called Chilean President Sebastian Piñera to congratulate him and his government on the rescue of 33 trapped miners after 69 days underground, the White House said in a statement.”
The “him” was (o)bama who was calling to have the Chilean president recognize him! Poor little (o)bama, he has to resort to putting out a statement to underscore himself.
LLS
So Odumbo called Pinero and requested a “thank you”? And he claims that he got one?
Probably never even bothered. Just needs to claim that he talked to a real President once...
I wouldn’t be surprised. It is obvious they read blogs and the WH Communications office uses them to run out Zero like a puppet. Does this tell you the level of leadership in the WH. ZERO
The Chilean Pres, unlike, Zero is what is known as a leader. When others were saying the Miners were dead, he told them no they are alive...find them.
Attaboy.
