The events preceding the end of history have not all occurred yet.

I will let some of the experienced eschatologists here blow holes through that posted article.

Here comes OBAMA CNN

Zero swaggers to the podium.

Watching O’bam walk out to to speak...

I swear he walks just like George Jefferson. How ghetto!

[Royal Wulff]

Put on an effing tie you slouch!

The U.S. Navy will redeploy 4 ships out of port in Hawaii to open waters as a precaution against the approaching tsunami.

The two military housing complexes on the Island of Oahu were evacuated.

Thanks, Zilla. Growing up in Chicago, I never gave tsunamis much thought. Love the things I learn here at FR. ;-)

Anyone know if it’s noteworthy that the depth of the aftershocks seems to have varied so little?

[aruanan]

I was being facetious... Speaking of humor, Obama is preparing to give a live speech regarding the earthquake.

I pretty much figured that, but these days you know how people will pick up and repeat whatever they read on the internet.

Is that a live speech or a live performance via teleprompter of a previously written speech?

"Let me be clear. I have always hated earthquakes and, as a community organizer, I have tried to raise earthquake awareness, especially as it relates to my health care proposal so recently rejected by the bitter partisanship of the Republicans who dominated the recent health care summit with props and talking points so that the tragic stories of the everyday people I am trying to help could not be heard."

[NoRedTape]

Obama on now............pretty fast news response. Much faster than when there’s a terrorist attack. Guess natural disasters get faster coverage. Don’t want to scare the public or anything.

[TheRiverNile]

Archaological facts? How do you expect to prove that something didn't exist until X year? You do realize that they could dig up something tommorrow that would change that.


So most of these "facts" are just the "earliest known instances."

[yield 2 the right]

Obama in a Tone deaf voice. Am I alone in this?

[TornadoAlley3]

Reporter yells something to O about Charlie Rangle.

[Styria]

Those cars caught fire. Hopefully the people got out first.

[Royal Wulff]

He appears to have gotten through that statement without a teleprompter.

[autumnraine]

The book of Matthew quoting someone is not archeological fact, but I do agree with getting off topic.

So we will agree to disagree.

[TornadoAlley3]

[Think free or die]

The lack of teleprompter no doubt corresponds to the short duration of the comments. I think if Pres Bush were still on duty, he’d have shown a bit more compassion and emotion, and certainly mentioned prayer. I sure miss having responsible adults in charge.
