"WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama declined to answer reporters' questions on Thursday on a hostage crisis off the coast of Somalia, where a U.S. ship captain is being held captive by pirates.
Obama was asked to comment on the situation several times by reporters at a White House event on refinancing for homeowners. Obama, however, stuck closely to the script and replied that he wanted to remain focused on housing."
What happened to that vaunted "multi-tasking" that ZerO bragged about being able to do when he dismissed John McCain for pausing in his campaign to go back to Washington to deal with the economic crisis?
Or was it just that the Teleprompter wasn't prepared with an answer to that question?

Give him a break! Spokesmodels NEVER like to go off-script! They might actually have to exhibit a rational thought pertinent to the position...He must be getting headaches...poor baby...
ReplyDeleteI'm writing from a container vessel right now. In '03 &'04 we had the contract the Mersk AL has now. Those pirates couldn't catch us. They've had an infusion of cash to buy better boats and weapons since then. I wonder who has been financing them?
ReplyDeleteThe goddamn ransoms they're getting for hijacked boats and kidnapped people!
ReplyDeleteWell, that and Iran, of course.
