Free Republic ^ | 2/11/11 | scott7278

[scott7278]

President Obama was scheduled to speak at 12:30pm Central Time. While we are still awaiting his words, feel free to vent about the current situation in Egypt until he begins speaking!

[1000 silverlings]

oh boy! more Obama! he needs his own tv station-— oh wait he’s got one

[Recovering_Democrat]

bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hussein doesn’t know squat about what is going on.

All he knows about the Egyptian situation can fit in a very small thimble.

[proud American in Canada]

He certainly loves to talk.

[airborne]

I've never seen on of zer0’s speeches, and I don't intend to start now.

I'll hear the truth about it all the same way I always have.

By reading what Freepers have to say about it.

Breaking News & LIVE THREAD #3 - CRISIS IN EGYPT (Mubarak Resigns)

[Dinah Lord]

Rush said the speech is being delayed because it’s taken them a little longer than they thought to build the pyramid backdrop. Heh.

[scott7278]

The Jerusalem Post is optimistic:

The Daily Telegraph is realistic:

What do we need to hear from Bammy for? President Biden has already spoken on Egypt from the McConnell Center in Louisville!!

[SMARTY]

Ex Dictators are a sticky commodity. Wonder where Mubarak will settle down.

[scott7278]

Good for you! I wish I had the ability to avoid trainwrecks, but I don’t. ;)

[Allegra]

He's so irrelevant.

Why would anyone care what he has to say about anything?

[McGruff]

I hope he declares.

[scott7278]

I think he’s waiting to see which direction the wind is blowing...Reagan he ain’t.

[John W]

Maybe YOU’RE awaiting his words, I am not.

[libertarian27]

He was scheduled to speak 45 minutes ago? Sounds about right for him.....he could never be a newsreader or have a talk show - or hold a job.....

[SMARTY]

He’s adept at capitalizing on one crisis after another!!

THAT makes him a ‘President’...see???

[scott7278]

I prefer to think that he doesn’t know what’s going on, although we’re seeing what a “Community Organizer” actually does.

[airborne]

Then I’ll be waiting for your report on the trainwreck! ;^)

[scott7278]

He went on and on, and then said that he had much more to talk about, but Obama would be talking soon.

[1000 silverlings]

lol, I hope he rides in bare-chested on a camel, like Putin would

[MissMagnolia]

Actually, he does have his OWN network ......

[cweese]

He has terminal cancer, doesn’t he? Wherever he settles, it won’t be for long.

[scott7278]

I don’t, really, but it is fun to watch Dear Leader implode.

[John W]

Sober?

[1000 silverlings]

the only way to get thru it is to take a drink every time he says “I, and Me”

[scott7278]

He’s probably waiting for the uppers to kick in.

[libertarian27]

Just popped over to the white house site - press pool Barry Egypt statement is now on there for 3pm

[Allegra]

Ex Dictators are a sticky commodity. Wonder where Mubarak will settle down.

They tend not to stick around on this marble much longer after losing power.

Except maybe Noriega....is he still languishing in a Miami prison?

[Captain Peter Blood]

France is usually a good place for these types. The French just love that ill gotten loot that is spent.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Here I will save you all the trouble of seeing it
Obama: Yes it was all me, I made Mubarak resign. I called him up, gave him the ol Obama charm and BAM, he resigned. Yes I am Obama and I am that damn good. Obama be praised

[screaminsunshine]

Well he owns it now. I do hope they form a pro american free democracy and all is Unicorns and Rainbows. However. Socialists intentions always cause the opposite of the desired outcome. I imagine he will try to bail out Egypt now with our money through the IMF.

[mojito]

Obama is going to declare that he is the Mahdi.

He is the One they have been waiting for.

[ronnie raygun]

Let us all guess, this is a great moment in history that our children are here to witness, the peoples democartic revolution that I, me I me I me I me I me created. Leader of the rest of the idiots

[concerned about politics]

We're going to hear how he single handily saved the Egyptian people..... and the entire world - again. Then he'll move on to how much we should love and adore him for it.

No thanks. I've heard that same type speech for two years already. I don't need to hear it again.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Fox News just said after Obama Baghdad Bob Gibbs will happen LIVE as well

[AU72]

Very strange.

Barry usually bangs out of the West Wing by noon on Fridays.

[RicocheT]

“Obama learns of Mubarak resignation by watching TV in Oval Office...” (Drudge headline)

Obama and Co., plus our clueless State Department and Intelligence agencies will likely learn the same way of the next radical Islamist attack on America or any other world disaster. They are clueless and aren’t improving through learning from mistakes. If we don’t vote out Obama and some more Democrat senators in 11/2012, we are doomed.

[concerned about politics]

Obama is going to declare that he is the Mahdi.
He is the One they have been waiting for.

Exactly.

[treetopsandroofs]

Gaffable Joe vamps for Hussein today.

[McGruff]

BREAKING NEWS: Mubarak said he was kidding. He didn’t resign.

[scott7278]

[Sarah Barracuda]

That picture says it all

[no_go_lie]

O: Let me be perfectly clear! This happened because of me. I am here, they are over there. But it’s absolutely true that I made it happen. Look how the Egyptians are praising me and Allah, in that exact order, me first, Allah second.

[scott7278]

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

You forgot to add that Mobark said last night that he so loves Egypt and the children and no amount of money or outside influence will make him leave. Obama then called Mobarry on his blackberry and offered him compensation for all of the oil money he will lose and he got on his jet and moved to beverly dubai or a yacht in the middle of no where.

It was highly reported Obama and Clinton incited this. Obama is happy as a clam his brothers mooslum will grab the reins but he will try to act presidential because ole Daley wrote the speech on the teleprompter.

LIVE on Fox all the crowds are suddenly SO NICE and not attacking. The radicals were all called to the Obama tent to rest so the normal people can make it look all cushy.

[Yaelle]

Barry Egypt statement is now on there for 3pm

He can't talk when Rush still has time to comment afterward.

[Deo volente]

Perhaps he’s having a few smokes in the Rose Garden.

Oh, I forgot...he quit. Michelle told us so.

[OldDeckHand]

An Egyptian protester/celebrator just being interviewed on FNC said that he wants freedom "like they have in Iraq".

I thought that was an interesting comment.
