Just off an unproductive Euro tour, hosting Seder, flying in a pizza chef, planting the WH garden, hanging at the new swing set, locating an Easter church service, and preparing the for the new puppy-in-chief, I’d say the SMOTUS has his teleprompter full.

With the gaggle of blundering boobs in this administration they are probably giving him updates on the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team so the easily confused one is even more confused why they keep telling him things like “Pirates winning 3-1 on a homerun by Jack Wilson”.

Since BO is watching a lot of tv, maybe he thinks there are talking about the release of this movie?

He’ll have it down pretty soon, and then he’ll be able to speak to them properly...

While I loved those movies I’m afraid those movies and other stuff has romanticized pirates to a generation of mindless boobs.

> I certainly hope the piracy updates did not draw Obama out of his pizza party.
Did taxpayer money pay for the pizza plane ride?

Deception at Core of Obama Plans


Obama let the skipper of the freighter (and America) down when he failed to destroy the pirate's dingy right after the skipper tried to escape from the pirates!

Here we are with the MSM reassuring us that Hussein is in control, engaged and invested in the situation with the fullness of his immense intellect. So many Americans will continue to be beguiled by this. However, all the antagonistic powers who have hatred or some degree of animosity towards the United States of America, see him and his administration for what it truly is. They will become bolder and increase there assaults against American interests anywhere and everywhere imaginable.

God help us.

Hell, Barry is probably rooting for the pirates in this whole thing. Poor, oppressed Africans just want to spread the wealth a little.

Yes indeed. A strongly worded letter is just the thing to deter illiterate pirates. Should bring about an end to the hostilities in time to invite them to the White House for Ramadan in August.

In a show of good will to muslims everywhere, Ibn al’0bama might even invite the pirates to accompany him on his annual haj to Mecca, just to demonstrate the power of brotherly love.
