UPDATE:
One of the most disconcerting traits of the Obama presidency so far is that whenever something bad happens, the first response of the administration is to very sternly wonder why nobody else is doing anything about it. “Global consensus” is required to attack everything except our paychecks. Now that’s piracy.

Some Muslims — whom, according to our President, we are most definitely NOT at war with (despite the fact that they are clearly at war with us) — have hijacked an American ship.
Because we’re not the French, the 21 merchant marines aboard didn’t wait for “international diplomacy”— they simply seized back their ship.
Unfortunately the Muslim pirates/terrorists still hold Captain Richard Phillips of the the Maersk Alabama hostage. Otherwise we would have sank the pirates’ boat from underneath them.
Obama’s first international crisis with Islamic terrorists acting against American citizens…and we get this:
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.
In other words, his teleprompter was only loaded with answers to questions on the housing crisis. And he couldn’t possibly be expected to have an answer to this crisis without it being pre-loaded on his teleprompter…
Sadly, when the boy wonder with zero experience became President , this is what we get — a man in way over his head who can (barely) focus/work on one problem at a time.
God forbid something tragic happens while he’s picking his March Madness Brackets on ESPN…
Ah yes, TOTUS.
Here is one of his current dispatches.
IN WHICH I SAVE A LIFE.
From TOTUS: Good Friday, Indeed!
Obama and the teleprompter is like Spongebob Squarepants season 3, club spongebob episode. Spongebob, patrick, and squidward are lost in the kelp forrest. patrick and spongebob ask the magic conch shell (like the kids toy 8-ball) to tell them what to do. Obama’s teleprompter is his magic conch.
Well it looks like the Captain has been rescued, via an operation that (and I quote) “wasp ersonally approved by President Barack Obama”. Perhaps some of you folks, and Ann Coulter alike need, need to calm down and be rational before producing statements that only end up making u look foolish.
The Obama Sailors beat the Somali Pirates 3-0 in a game held off the coast of Somalia.
Right Wing Redneck fans were disappointed by the outcome.
They had hoped the Somali Pirates would embarrass the visitors, indeed were excited about the possibility of an Obama team loss.
Even if it meant humiliation for the visiting team.
Once again their hopes were dashed by another stunning, brilliantly managed and executed Obama team victory.
For now Right Wing Redneck fans hopes of stopping the Obama team lie with the Islamic Terrorists or the North Korean Rockets.
The mascot of the Right Wing Rednecks is a toothless, assault weapon totin’ hillbilly wearing a Palin ‘08 gimme cap.
