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.

It looks like Trump didn’t fire his buddy Starr. He wants to see the smoke between NeNe and Starr.

I’m sorry but the death of OBL trumps (no pun intended) the Celebrity Apprentice. Anyone here who doesn’t think so is just a bufooon like Donald Trump.

The budget process is more important than the NBA playoffs, too. But we don't need to have our choice of media programs dictated according to your or anybody elses priority. Ever hear of picture in a picture? I was watching Geraldo in the little picture and Donald in the big picture. Now...no choice. Does that make me a buffoon?

They are already all over social media giving kudos to Obama.

I am reminding them that if this is true, it is our US military that deserve credit, and they did it in SPITE of Obama and his horrific ROEs and lack of support.

I hope Obama has the decency and class to call President GW Bush in advance out of courtesy.

I was thinking the same thing, except I took it a step further in my mind. Have Bush make the announcement. ;-)

Yes he did. He could have done this at any time today. He gave a bottom of the hour time to FNC and then the networks jumped at :45. He plays some pretty dirty pool.

He is stringing everyone along, just to make it look non-contrived. The CIA has known this for a week.

exactly. I think this is Obama F’ing with Trump and officially they wasted 15 minutes and Obama hasn’t spoken yet and this is the last 15 minutes of the show to find out who got voted off. Now I wonder if they will air it after Obozo is done speaking or it will be cut off completely...

Trump gets pissed off and never ends his investigation of Obama.

Was THIS the hit???

US DRONE STRIKE KILLS 25 IN NORTH WAZIRISTAN

April 22, 2011
PESHAWAR: Four missiles fired by two suspected US pilotless aircrafts hit a house in North Waziristan on the Afghan border on Friday, killing 25 militants, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

The drone strike happened in Mir Ali, a town about 35 kilometres east of the region’s main town of Miranshah.

An intelligence official in the region, who requested not to be identified, told Reuters that the house was being used as a militant hideout.

“The militants have surrounded the area where the attack happened and are not allowing anybody to go there,” he said, adding 25 bodies had been recovered from the rubble and three women were among those killed.

Another official said some foreign militants were among the dead, but that their numbers and nationalities could not confirmed.

The strike came two days after a visit to Islamabad by Admiral Mike Mullen, the top US military official, in which he expressed concern over continuing links between Pakistan’s main intelligence agency, the ISI, and militants attacking US-led forces across the border in Afghanistan.

North Waziristan is a known sanctuary for al Qaeda and Taliban militants near the Afghan border.

The United States has been using drone attacks to target al Qaeda-linked militants over the past few years in Pakistan’s lawless tribal areas, a source of concern for the Pakistan government, which says civilian casualties stoke public anger and bolster support for militancy.

Prediction: Brack uses the speech to tell Muslims that we don’t hate them and that they should not be mean to us.

“Obama didn’t even read OBL his rights”

Well, OBL does have the right to remain silent. May he rest in pieces.

the prez is late and the news already leaked

Very rude to reserve the time and then be fourty minutes late. While we are waiting, let's start a pool on what color his hair will be tonight.
