Those pirates would never have had the guts to attack an American crew under Reagan’s command. Remember the Libyan affair and its leader M.Gaddafi? Reagan ordered an air strike on Gaddafi’s palace, killing his daughter. Muommar became a model citizen for many years as a result. I’ll bet we get the Carter “Iran Hostage” approach out of Obozo, and it’ll take a Republican to free the captain.

re: focusing on housing

Yep, like he focused on the lawsuits vs. Citibank, Household Finance and others, to give folks with no jobs houses; As he focused on sending his ACORN cronies to go to banks and houses in rowdy protest (like AIG, banks, his pitchforks). Like he focused on Rezko and Jarrett giving him cuts while his district fell apart with deathtrap building or not building at all... over $100 mil worth.
Focusing on his home he couldn’t afford without Rezko buying in (he hardly knew him, boneheaded mistake, he was only his campaign finance guy for two elections, ditto for amnesty pushing Luis Gutierrez, recipient of Rezko house help).

He wants to focus on housing, let’s focus on housing.

First here’s a video:

Now for the facts...

These are the must reads (if you never have):

So instead of waiting a few minutes, as Dubya did on the morning of 09/11, so as not to alarm anyone in the classroom where he was sitting (meanwhile, his advisors were working feverishly behind the scenes), Zero is waiting hours, if not, days to respond?!

I'm sure Michael Moore is archiving the video of Zero's inaction now for its inclusion in his next mockumentary. /sarc

Since they carried food for Kenya, wouldn’t he be more pissed off? And WTH is Odinga doing (besides letting previous pirates go and get broken out)... getting his cut.

What, confront a crisis head-on? Better to let the hostage and pirates starve to death on their lifeboat in the middle of the ocean than risk a mistake!

It is a testament to the degraded education system in America that this kind of bozo could get the majority of votes for president.

OK, my point was just that military experience is not relevant in this case. Reagan would have acted. Carter would had diddled. Obama is an America hating diddler; regardless of circumstances he’ll do the wrong thing.

Cowardly AND stupid. This from the US Pretender-in-Chief.

Our enemies are celebrating and licking their chops.

Any coincidence that within a day or two of him announcing he would never go to war against Islam, the muzzies hit on a US flagged ship?

Why of course not! None at all. How could you think such a thing? < /s >

Each day that goes by without our resolving this ON OUR TERMS is one more layer of humiliation for the United States. I keep asking myself... (re 4 Nov) “What the hell were they thinking??????”
