Let me first start out by saying how happy I am the American Captain was rescued by the Navy, specifically the Navy Seal snipers, and bringing him home safely. Our military is the top at their game, and even though we have a weak President, they still get the job done.
The Navy Seals could have put an end to this days ago, but it seems Obama was too busy picking out a dog to be bothered by Somali pirates taking Americans hostage. After several requests, the latest one being Friday night, Obama finally signed off on action only if the Captain’s life was in immediate danger. I guess being held by 4 pirates with AK-47’s isn’t considered immediately dangerous.
Obama has been silent through this whole ordeal, just making his usual photo-ops, and hoping one of those pirates wasn’t a relative of his. He was a complete failure during this crisis, and if he can’t handle a couple of pirates, how is going to deal with real dictators and terrorists? Oh I forgot, talking to them and sending them videos.
Now take notice on how the media beings to spin this tomorrow, trying to make Obama to be the hero in this. Don’t fall for it.

Wow! What a weak comment! Obama haters. Suffer that O is going to be president for the next 8 years, and then Michelle O is going to be president for the following 8 years. SUFFER!! RACISTS!
Hi troll. Typical response from an Obama-bot, cry racism when nobody mentioned race at all.
One term President, that is guaranteed.
One term if you cheat the way you did with Bush. Who's your next POTUS? Sarah "Levi Johnston" Palin?
Obama is only assured of 3 yrs 283 days in office at this point – love it or hate it that just the way it is – but who's counting.
As for the handling of the crisis, the speed at which it was handled will undoubtedly lead to more confrontations with the US. The simple facts behind this are 1. NO action to rocket testing by a formerly viewed third world countries, 2. NO actions toward radical countires developing nuclear grade radiation, 3. Unleasing lethal force when an "American" life is in jepardy (after 5 days).
This leaves a lot of latitute for how far the US can be pushed with this administration.
For those feeling that their President did a wonderful job, I can assure you that if another country ever succeeds in over-throwing the US with their military; say bye-bye to the welfare you now so enjoy – You won't have rights and you won't have a say in when or where you work.
You will also be put in prison for writing "Contrarian" comments such as this. That was demonstrated this week end with the death of a 28 year Chineese Blogger in his prison cell.
Yes, right!! America will be overthrown!! You are just a paranoid, gun-totting, right-wing conservative!! No different than the T…..an or Al…….da
You are truly an idiot, and proof that people who voted for Obama are just the most ignorant Americans of all. Bye troll.
Since Obamabots have no rational defense for their anti-American socialist messiah, they pull the worn-out race card trick. Sad, but true. Obozo will be very fortunate if he makes it through his first term without being impeached. The American people are finally waking up to discover the disastrous effects the Obamanation is having on our lives and the lives of future American generations.
Cheat? You mean like using ACORN and illegal aliens?
Palin would be much better than this chicago thug community organizer. Teleprompter in Cheif!
Talk about an interesting website…
I only found it because I'm making an essay on Obama as a LEADER…
and I needed quotes on Opposition…
So THANKS for helping me with that part because I found a lot of it here! >_>
Anyways…
How do you think he should have handled the pirate situation??
Gotten on National Television and TELL the whole world what they were planning to do?!
Pirates watch the media too so where's national security with that?
He couldn't just run and do something quickly,
They have to assess the situation, this was something serious.
So really, I'm curious on what you think should have been done.
Ohh and seriously, don't hate, appreciate. [:
Appreciate what?
Obama being a weak leader is the number one problem. Waiting until the very last minute to end this situation was his next mistake. Dictators around the world are rejoicing that America has a weak leader.
Bush was a STRONG leader. Look where it has gotten us!!
Well fine, you see Obama as weak.
There's no point in arguing with YOUR point of view…
I guess conservatism does make someone closed minded.
You didn't answer my question on how you think the situation should have been handled…
If there's anything I'm learning (since I'm new to all this political stuff)
is that you Obama critics don't care what the hell he does, it'll all be wrong in your eyes.
Once he brings America back on track and fixes all the screw ups
REPUBLICANS made the past eight years,
You'll still see him as weak.
Which honestly, makes no sense !
Ohh and I meant just to appreciate OTHER things…
Life is what you make it.
There's no sense in dwelling on the things you don't like.
Especially if you can't change them.
Hate isn't good on the heart man.
Amen Marcie!!
Even Bernie Goldberg, who has accused the media of slobbering over Obama, took Sean Hannity to task the other night for "going out of [his] way to find fault with every single thing" Obama does. "If something bad happened here," Goldberg told Hannity, "and thank god it didn't, but if something bad happened here, I'll guarantee you, I'll tell you who would be leading the crusade against [Obama]: You."
The republicans are racing down the road to irrelevance…
Bush wasn't only to blame. Bawny Frank, Dodd, etc.
"Bawny" Frank and Dodd did not start the Irak war, they did not authorize torture, they did not authorize guantanamo, they did not authorize outing CIA agents, ….
Nothing wrong with Club Gitmo. Bawney Frank and Dodd created the mortgage crisis by pressuring banks to give loans to people who obviously couldn't afford them, ya know, democrat voters.
You obviously don't pay attention much. Obama has already ensured the biggest comeback since '94.
Keep up the government spending and useless social programs.
The ACORN bus must be full tonight.
This site is abuzz with comments… The admins must be celebrating LOL
