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.

Well, to be fair, everybody remembers the superbowl being interrupted for Heidi, so maybe people will remember when the President of the United States scared the crap out of them with an “important announcement” only to show up with a simple news piece that anybody could have delivered that is of no immediate consequence.

Yeah, but do you remember the date? No searching....

They are already all over social media giving kudos to Obama.

I am reminding them that if this is true, it is our US military that deserve credit, and they did it in SPITE of Obama and his horrific ROEs and lack of support.

Exactly, justsaynomore!

ROE = Rules Of Engagement, for anyone lurking here...

CNN saying people are outside the White House jumping up and down chanting "USA! USA!". CNN is claiming this celebration outside the White House is "spontaneous".

Wolf Blitzer: "We're already getting praise (via Twitter and e-mail) from family members of people killed on 9/11. This is the day they have waited nearly 10 years for."

Obama's gonna play this to his credit BIG TIME.

BTW, I'm only watching CNN because Whorealdo Rivera on Fox News is totally unwatchable. I couldn't take any more of his crazed bloviating.

I think they knew and that is probably why the honeymoon was postponed.

I have seen posts from people watching the wedding that thought there was an undercurrent.

Given that Britain now seems to be a Muslim State..they could have worried about what would take place.

I bet there were a lot of discussions to the US asking for this announcement to be postponed until after the wedding.

The Iranians ratting him out makes sense. If the Iranians sold UBL out, to whom and for what...?


The Pakistanis had to give him up, or we would pull all of our financial aid from Pahk-i-stahn.

I hope it's true. So much more elegant than a bomb.

Agreed. This is no game changer. Osama was no longer involved in operations. Ayman al-Zawahiri needs to be captured, interrogated and then quietly executed. This is folly to think this will have an operational effect of al-qeada. Some might rightfully argue the best think to do after killing Osama was to keep it quiet.

<0 has to stop sobbing and clean himself up before he announces this.

Though what good his chest-pounding will do now since Fox already told us, I don’t know.

Obama is either high or drunk to be taking so long to appear for this “announcement that will affect the whole world.” I bet the guy is gonna look mighty strange with glazed eyes and slurred speech.

I thought we were under an attack or something.

So did I...but then I re-considered....anything Obama does is self serving so this would be so as well. Disgusting how the news folks are building this up greatly as an Obama achievement. The glory goes to our military...period!

“YES!!!!!!

And WE did it. Not Nato or our allies. The United States got the bastard.”

Amen. We got the bastard that killed 3,000 Americans. I could give a rats butt how it makes or doesn't make Obama look.

Our military just removed a huge cancer from the world. Great day!!!!

From FR:

Never mind that we got Bin Laden because we are still in Afghanistan, against the wishes of all the freeloaders, moochers, looters, hippies, and Communists who wanted all that money spent on THEM and wanted us out of Afghanistan by now. In other words, we got him because Obama is following the same policies as (gasp!) BUSH.

Now, the $64,000 question: will the same freeloaders start demanding an immediate withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan so they can sit on their asses and have everyone else pay for their food, water, and board?

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

And he's right, but the buzz will die down in a few days.
