Late to the party again i see. The Obama speech...Mon answers the question of whether the WH believes the American people understand Libya action or not. Seems he knows this could be dangerous for him.

Another snoozefest of excuses no doubt.

Let me be the first to give a response to the president’s speech:

“Well, then, all right, there you have it.”

He’ll go on TV and say something that will be the opposite of what he’s really doing, or intends to do. When the man talks, he just makes a bunch of noise. A true snake.

Listen not to what he says, but watch what he actually does....

Obama has done everything he can to avoid this subject, he even ran away to Rio, he is being dragged to this little chat unwillingly and we all know how he handles those.....badly.

He’s looking more and more politically castrated by the day.

Barry didn't know about it until he read it in the paper.

The federal is big. It has a lot of moving parts. He can't be expected to keep track of everything that's going on.

Fairly predictable in that (1) he’ll give non-answers and excuses that are too general and vague, (2) some of his vague comments will raise more questions, (3) the media will say he addressed everything, and (4) the media will still question if he actually answered anything, to cover their own butts.

Just a couple of things.

He probably can’t give the speech before then since he has basketball to watch this weekend.

I hope his teleprompter is back from the shop by Monday.

Sure is taking his string pullers a long time to come up with a speech. If we can figure out who’s tied up right now we can figure out who pulls the strings. Where’s Soros?

Color code your closet? The always good-take a shower :). Perhaps read the Globe or National Enquirer? ( For sure you will be more intellectually challenged reading rags rather than listening to that creep spew garbage prepackaged for idiot consumption. It will probably be more truthful, too! )

I’m sure every sentence from TOTUS will include atleast one or combination of these words:
“Kenetic” “Humanitarian” “Liberation” “NATO allies” “peace” “self-determination” “enable” and “human rights”.

He is a master of “Taqiyya”. He’s continually diverting attention from one thing to another and never addressing any one problem in a serious manner. He just makes all the problems worse.

He’s truly one evil, sick bastard..

He hasn’t actually had a strategy so far.

Some aide or speechwriter can worry about coming up with a few words over the next couple days to take some of the pressure off. But you can be certain that he’s peeved that he has to come up with something to say at all.

He’s irritated that it became necessary to cut his vacation short, and he’s showing it through the passive-aggressive act of putting the speech off until Monday.

Obama is determined to enjoy his weekend (”Why can’t I just eat my waffle?”), and nothing, not a shooting war or Congress or the damn press are going to get in the way of that.

Don’t they know how hard it is to be in his position? After all, the US government has a lot of moving parts, and he can’t be expected to micromanage everything, can he...
