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

Osama Bin Laden delivers his messages by tape recording too. See the similarity?

Maybe Mohammed Obamma could go back to Egypt and give his “I am a muslim, and we can all get along” speech again.

He could get another peace prize too.

UPDATE: The AFP pool reporter, Stephen Collinson, says Obama will speak before reporters. He also reports that will happen at 10 a.m. Hawaii Standard Time, 3 p.m. EST.

Fox News's Steve Centanni reported that Obama would tape his remarks.

So we'll see how it plays out.

Good point!!!!

And another point that makes Obama a doofus.

His poll numbers are already in the tank and now the political pundits can make fun of the “dueling videos” coming from OBL vs BHO.

And he also has to rehearse, perfect his concerned look and be sure he has plenty of people to blame. Probably has to do at least 20 takes before he gets it right.

***A U.S. official in Washington said the father’s concerns were shared among those in the embassy, including liaison personnel from other agencies based there, such as the FBI. The alert was then relayed to Washington and again shared among agencies such as the State, Justice and Homeland Security departments, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the investigation.***
