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.

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

Exactly my thought around an hour ago. But obama likes to scare the American public. Remember AF One flying low over NY for the supposed PR picture? Scared the hell out of NYorkers.

Well, let’s see...the White House was meeting on this already this a.m....[says CBS, citing aid to Rep. Cantor, who said the Rep was called by Biden over an hour ago] ... meaning the death occurred before today...and yet Obama still golfed 9 holes today [tho not his usual 18 holes]...
And now he’s keeping a national audience awaiting when he could have been preparing.

Word on the street is this, each time he goes over his speech, when he gets to the part where he announces Bin Laden’s death, he gets a visible tear in his eye. Cannot come before the American public until he solves that problem.
So it may be a while; perhaps early into Monday morning, until the official announcement.

I wonder if the guy who was arrested in Pak a month or so ago was part of the team sent in to do this.

Good gravy - by the time obamba finally comes out to ‘announce’ it - we'll be yawning and saying ‘yeah, yeah, we know. G’night”

He didn't get to break the news - it got leaking - from everywhere....Good!

I’ve been waiting for our Boy King to make his statement (after he’s done crying in his soup) for over half an hour now. Meanwhile, NBC is running film of Bin Ladin over and over like some kind of Requiem for a saint..... Which .... yeah, to them I guess he is. Enough already!

I think Obama is sulking because the media outlets broke the news before him.

They’re busy getting his hair gray again so he can appear presidential.

Watching on CNN, it looks like a happy bunch of young people ... a few even have American flags.

Thanks for the info.

Congrats to our military! They are the ones that did this and should get all the credit! Things are going to get pretty scary now though in the homeland. I don’t feel at all safe with Obama and his cronies in charge of our homeland security.

It’s good OBL declared room temp. This fervor will not last long. People don’t like the high cost of fuel and groceries are becoming costlier every day - on Obama’s watch.

Let’s not forget he interupted Trump last week with his birth certificate announcement.

Guy loves to humiliate his enemies, give an arrogant show of his power.

It’s been over an hour....we have a child holding the highest office in the land.

Don’t forget the Supreme court, how he insulted them in front of the whole world, how he secretly called Paul Ryan to a meeting with a lie of upcoming praise.

Now this.

Obama scares the hell out of me, this small, small man.

But yeah, I’m glad Osama’s dead. I’ll wait to hear the details. I’m sure there’s more to this than meets the eye.

Memories are short - wonder if they considered putting him on ice ‘til Oct 2012?

That's worth keeping in mind when considering the political ramifications of this. I don't think Bin Laden's death will still be a huge consideration for voters who are paying $8/gallon in 2012.

But why does it take him an hour to show up on TV. And have the networks cut without knowing what he was going to speak about. They could have easily put a crawl across the screen saying OBL was dead and they would cut into programming when the President was ready to speak.
