WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has declined to answer a question about the hostage situation off the coast of Somalia. The president was asked about the incident as he met with U.S. homeowners about refinancing mortgages. At the close of a Roosevelt Room event, the president was asked by a reporter if he were concerned about the piracy incident. Obama responded: "Guys, we're talking about housing right now." Reporters were then ushered out of the room as they usually are after such events. Obama has yet to comment publicly on the incident.

That is because he never will, nor will he ever be asked about why his administration didn’t send help up the flooding in North Dakota.

They’re Pirates of Color, so they by default, get a free pass.
A no-brainer from the President with no brain.

"Guys, we're talking about housing right now." How dare world events not let him take on challenges one at a time, at his convenience.

He doesn’t want to appear as if he’s taking sides. The American ship is owned and run by pirates too, of course.
