Obama to Release Taped Statement About Christmas Terror Attack Later Today (Live Thread)
Monday, December 28, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 12/28/2009 8:57:30 AM PST by kristinn

Four days late, Barack Obama will interrupt his Hawaii vacation and finally speak to the nation today about the Christmas Day terror attack on America. However, he will be hiding from the American people and a media that might (might) ask uncomfortable questions by releasing a taped statement rather than making a live address.

Reports are that he will tape his remarks at the nearby Marine base he has been using for his gym workouts, golfing and beach outings. Obama is staying at a $8.9 million estate that rents for an estimated $4000 per night.

The White House Web site still has not posted any statement by Obama or anyone from his administration about the attack. Late last night the administration updated WhiteHouse.gov for the first time since Christmas Eve with a statement by Obama on the passing of Percy Sutton and one by the National Security Council on the protests in Iran. But still no word on the attempted massacre of 289 innocents on Northwest Airlines flight 253.

The Obama media is parroting the Obama spin that his above-it-all response to the attack is smart strategy, yet it is actually giving the American people the idea that Obama doesn't care enough about the country to take five minutes in four days of fun in the sun to do his job.

Releasing a taped statement will only add to the appearance of distance between Obama and the American people.

If Obama wanted to do something right, he'd leave that unnecessary and undeserved vacation, fly to the middle east to visit our Troops and give succinct and powerful television message on this situation. He sure as hell should call terrorism what it is. It's called "terrorism".

What a fool.

“they think there’s more people wanting the healthcare than there are”

this is true - they were genuinely shocked when the people didn’t lap it up like trained dogs.

I think they fundamentally misunderstand America. They’re busy implementing European-style control, but the underlying premise is completely different. Something like half of Americans have some kind of understanding if the issues. That blows the European mindset out of the water.

Obama Statement coming statement

"...Before making my statement, I'd like to give a shout out to the Brother who may need skin graphs and was treated unfairly by the white Dutchman (who acted stupidly). I am directing My justice department to make available all legal and medical services to this individual. We must remember that we do not torture, as it is against our values. Torture is something that past administrations do. Once this suspect is convicted using a fair trail of his peers, I can assure you that his death or life sentence will server as a deterrent to others who are clearly planning to do this again... "

"..With that said, we do not have all the facts. We do know that this individual has been upset due to the policies of the past 8 years. And the the security failures were due to the last administration taking their eye off the ball in what we used to call the war on terror. By focusing on Iraq, we lost sight of Nigeria Amsterdam, and Detroit..."

"...Make no mistake. As there are some who will say the chickens have come home to roost once again, I say that we must looking deeply into ourselves to understand our own conduct and responsibility in the world. Knee-jerk reactions such as profiling are counter-productive. Tea-party protesters are proof that no one group is responsible for the majority of terrorist attacks ...er Man-Made disasters around the world..."

"...As many of you know, I have taken steps such as directing my Homeland Security Director (who is doing one heck of a job!) to require a few more inconveniences before, and during your air flights. This is only a first step. We must do more. We must move forward in providing health care for...um..check the teleprompter guys!...please?...ok? OK! ... we must move forward in making sure all airlines buses, trains and bicycles are safe. I commend the federal authorities following my lead of a quick response and enforce the new policies that have been put in place. I urge Congress to work in a bi-partisan fashion to attach any enhance security legislation to the reconciled health care bill now awaiting my signature. If there are any urinary ailments on airlines due to the new policies of not leaving your airline seats for one hour before landing, MY new health care plan will address these issues as well..."

"Thank you and... hand me that 9 iron please?"

um... the President is taking no questions on the matter and could you keep the cameras off the wife and kids? Thanks guys

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to interrupt the president, one should not do so, even if the country and the world are going to hell, because the president is performing what he perceives to be one of "his" most important duties as president of the U.S., and that is enjoying his vacation with his family and seeming to be above it all.

BTW, are there any new photos of his bare abs while in Hawaii? Maybe that will take everybody's minds off the attempted terrorist attacks and we can change the conversation to something more important and to something which Obama is more competent at doing.

Could you just see this A$hole if he was in office on 9/11? How long would it have taken him to make a live statement concerning the tragedy? What if there’s another 9/11 type attack? What will zerØ do? Knowing his MO now, he’ll wait four days, then make a taped statement. What a POS we have as POTUS!

What, there’s no broadcasting systems in Hawaii? This taped message sounds like he’s sending it from the moon. Which, btw, isn’t a bad idea.... there’s water there, right? Launch a few boxes of instant breakfast up there every now and then and wa-la, he can be dictator of his own little world... or moon.
