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. |
