Obama to speak in 30 minutes - or in an hour or two (Live Thread)

Posted on 05/01/2011 7:11:45 PM PDT by ConservativeMan55

Geraldo just announced Obama will make some sort of statement in 30 minutes. Geraldo says this is unusually late and figures it has something to do with Libya.

I think he was already dead and this was staged for political reasons.

It is no surprise to me that this news comes on the same day as the beautification of Blessed John Paul II to try and give Obama attention

Obamas taking so long because he’s getting his people, activists, rent a mob, in place to celebrate ‘Him’.

Mr. Mew’s wondering if this news is why the royal newlyweds stayed put...

“On ABC, George Stuffinenvelopes just said this is a political victory for Obama.”

THE MONEY QUOTE.

CNN running with the same BS.

OBL was killed a week ago. Why the special "emergency" speech tonight?

If the pres__ent knew about this all week, why is he late tonight?

Why couldn't this be a "breaking news" thing instead of pres__ent scaring the beejeezus out of us? I thought we were under an attack or something.

...Usama bin Laden is going on TV to announce that Barack Obama is dead

Geraldo just slipped and said Obama is dead...then corrected himself. He is so blubberish I bet his pants are wet.

I KNOW Geraldo is a drama queen but he is saying a matter of national security.

Geraldo just got Osama and Obama mixed up saying "I don't care how, Obama's ahh Osama's dead."

Glad Bin Laden is dead. But in now way does this lessen what the rag heads want to do to us.
That's what this is about. Bin Laden might be dead. It could have happened days or weeks ago. I doubt this happened today.

However, it was most important to announce it in a way that preempted the last 15 minutes of Trump's show. That was the "national security" matter.

I'm just amazed that they managed to do it without rolling out the teleprompters at 10:45.

They managed to preserve "plausible deniability" and NBC fell for the bait. I truly didn't expect NBC to interrupt unless TOTUS was rolling and Obama was reading to the cameras.

Is this why Petraeus got the CIA gig last week? Sounds like Petraeus is probably the one who got Osama folks. Just a hunch.

The answer lies in the number of your post.

I’ll believe Bin Laden is dead when I see the vid of the CIA guys holding up his freakin’ dripping head!

I had a gut feeling when I heard of this annoucement that it was going to be that OBL had been killed.

I’m so glad you said this. And much more concisely than me.

Like I said in my longer comment, that the President of the US would do something this teeny tiny scares me more of him than I ever was worried about the sick and dying Bin Laden.

Maybe they’re delaying because they’re going to show pictures of the body and it’s even more ghastly than when he was alive?

Obama says so much BS that I wouldn’t believe it if declared himself still alive on TV.
