For GOD's sake, send reinforcements quick. A billion dollar destroyer
that could single handedly defeat Japan in WW2 is stymied by three
thugs in a lifeboat and Obama panics and sends reinforcements when he
hears they may be joined by another unarmed merchant vessel with a
dozen or so pirates.
Obama sends a stern warning, "I'm not kidding, unless they reduce
their demands to $1 million, this time I'll not only bow, I'll pucker
up too" sure put the fear of something into those pirates.
Meanwhile, those awful brits at the UK Telegraph are calling Obama a
"Pantywaist surrender monkey". When a euro type calls you that, its
gotta hurt.
In light of today's outcome, don't you feel a bit like an idiot?
How long do you think it will take Obermann to credit Obama for
everything from handling the negotiations to taking the shot ?
Not nearly as long as it will take you to blame Obama for everything
that's happened for the last 8 years.
I did not call Obama a Pantyywaist Surrender Monkey, the UK Telegraph
did. However, I still think Obama is in waaaaaaaay over his head.

The right-wing punditry was out betting on our inability to control
the circumstance, in hopes that it'd reflect poorly on Obama.

You can't control the circumstances on the high seas.

Newt, Michelle Malkin, Hannity and every other dweeb that could place
a bad bet were in attendance.

Sure enough, now the credit goes to the special forces and "our
president" never to be referred to by name.

Half-baked foolishness from a party near death.
