Yes... and more and more people see the truth with each passing hour.

The Obama team needs to study the situation extensively for political impact and opportunity. The UN, NATO and the EU must be consulted to be sure all member nations feel wanted. Polls and focus groups might be appropriate. Most important American liberal organizations must be consulted to be sure we don't offend any race, religion, or sexual orientation group. Let's not let this crisis go to waste.

"The Obama team needs to study the situation extensively for political impact and opportunity..."

What is frightening is that roughly half of Americans probably agree with that.

It's going to be a long four years.

The most recent piracy attacks off the coast of Somalia and Gulf of Aden. A shipmate of the US merchant captain captured by Somali pirates hailed him as a "hero" Saturday, as an Italian ship was the latest vessel to be hijacked in the Gulf of Aden. (AFP/Graphic)

After playing hard at the playground, Obama and HilLIARy take a break to mull over aims of Somali extremists.

[Veto!]

Thanks for the link. Interesting take on the situation. I mean that the writer seems to think 0 actually has a big stick. The world has yet to see it and many of us doubt it exists.

Doesn’t Michelle keep it in the freezer?

Maine brought a group of Somalians to Lewiston. I can only imagine who this effected the family of Gary Gordon. I have to wonder if all them are still in the U.S.

Leave me alone... I'm mulling things over

We already know what's coming next...

Well you all had a question about his religion, there’s your answer, he can’t fire on his own!!!!!! Nice to know he’s got our backs!

Ann Coulter, is that you?...:)

If the administration can't figure out what to do they should just flip a coin and move on.

They will jump at that excellent idea.

>>”...and keep the big stick in the background.”

IF such a big stick exists, he’s probably keeping it

where the sun don’t never shine.

Maybe PM Brown should have gifted Obama with one of these in exchange for the DVD collection:

Pirates of the Barbary Coast Game Pac

Don't want to upset the keepers.

[Chickensoup]

He mulls aims? Seems to me they are achieving what they set out to do. Prove that this administration will not act.

...and make money doing it...

[Cheerio]

I read a couple months ago they live in multimillion dollar mansions, have private chefs flown in, and live like kings.

Oh you mean just like the Zero?

Obamas fly in chef 860 miles... just to make pizza

But many on the national security team insist that it is their caution and willingness to consider all aspects of the situation that differentiate them from the overly aggressive posture of the Bush administration that they say exacerbated the terrorist threat.

The Butt Many heard from, getting in the last word.

“Mulling” is apparently all the Obama team does.
