President Obama vowed to track down and destroy terror cells all over the world last night as he finally ended his silence over a failed Christmas Day plot to blow up an American passenger jet.
The White House said Mr Obama’s reticence to speak out was designed to reduce the attention focused on an extremist group based in Yemen calling itself al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
The Islamist organisation led by a former personal secretary to Osama bin Laden claimed responsibility for the botched attack in a statement yesterday.
The President took a few minutes out of his holiday in Hawaii to pledge that he would work to keep America safe from attack with further foreign interventions where necessary.

"The White House said Mr Obama’s reticence to speak out was designed to reduce the attention focused on an extremist group based in Yemen calling itself al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula."
This is satire, right? No one of higher learning can be this obtuse. Someone please tell me this is a joke or that I have stayed up too late enjoying too many adult beverages. Anyone?

Islamic terror is used to spearhead tyranny in America, the same tyranny that America had fought hard to liberate, or try to liberate other countries from its grasp.

President Obama vowed to track down and destroy terror cells all over the world O.J. Simpson made a very similar promise right after his wife's murder trial about finding her "real" killer. The only thing he proved was that the "real" killer wasn't a golfer. Looks like Obama will be busy searching the same venues for these terror cells.

I believe Obama is the first President in National history to address the Republic in a time of crisis without a necktie on.
His absolute refusal to take this job seriously is what really pisses me off, because it shows that he does not give two sh!ts about the American people.

Maybe he can help O.J. find the “real” killer.

Heard the same crap out of the last libtard administration. Transparent, ethical, open, honest, and hunt down terrorist cells.
Expect the same results.

I mean, think about it....telling the criminals to stop it? Whoddathunk it? This man is nothing short of a freaking genius.
I, for one, am humbled that I am even allowed to look at his glorious picture.

The Friends are blasting the Boy King this morning. One of the terror expert guests actually called Barry this name, too. "Allegedly, Mr. President???" What do you call this?

No. Even worse results. This latest attempted terrorist attack could be a casus belli for imposition of martial law in the United States.
