Obama to speak in 30 minutes - or in an hour or two (Live Thread)

Posted on 05/01/2011 7:11:45 PM PDT by ConservativeMan55

Geraldo just announced Obama will make some sort of statement in 30 minutes. Geraldo says this is unusually late and figures it has something to do with Libya.

Well, people who get hit by bombs usually require DNA analysis for ID, so a week isn’t unreasonable....

I remember when Saddam was captured, many of us were on at 2:30 am PT for some reason when it broke. Yet, I remember it being a media announcement. President Bush didn’t feel the need to make an announcement at that exact moment.

As far as I’m concerned, Bin Laden has been dead for at least 6 years. When was the last time we saw an actual video of the guy?


First Mahmoud is missing in Iran and now OBL’s dead corpse surfaces. Power shift in Iran???

Obama needed a poll boost....this will do it for a time.
Makes you wonder how the Muslims will take this...I doubt they’ll care in light of the uprisings worldwide in the ME.

Ben Laden dead? If that’s it then will the witch Janet Napolatano and the TSA stop molesting people and making people go thru naked body scanners at the airports?

I don’t think so.

Didn't this interrupt Celebrity Apprentice on the East Coast?

Could TRUMP's show be the reason for the timing of this announcement?

Jerry Rivers says it was a U.S. bomb that killed OBL last week. DNA results have just confirmed.

The good news is that Elvis and Jim Morrison were unhurt.

If Bush were still in office, the media spin would be how this was going to cause the Moslem world to rise up against the US....this could have waited 10 minutes to be announced on the 10 pm. news.

I’m already beginning to see the first signs of “Linners”. Hopefully we get to see the body and get a positive ID on him.

I have praised Obama for his use of drones and taking out a lot of people in Pakistan, pretty gutsy for him...or any president in these circumstances.

Per CNN, they’ve had time to perform DNA tesing to prove it’s OBL. Why the late night scare re: important national security news on Sunday night?

They got the corpse, to boot! I wonder if it was special forces on the ground, if they have the cadaver.

According to Drudge: Osama Bin Laden is Dead.

Has the President found out about it yet?
