Obama Refuses to Comment on Somalia Hostage Crisis

  The president had a press conference scheduled for this morning about housing and refinancing. The Great One should have realized that reporters would ask him about the Somalia hostage crisis but apparently he didn’t. When he was asked about the Somalia pirates taking United States citizens hostage he seemed to be taken aback. His response to reporters was, “guys, we’re talking about housing right now.”

  Now I understand what the press conference was supposed to be about and I understand that the president isn’t going to go into details about what he is or isn’t doing about the hostage situation but the proper thing for this ignorant bastard to do would have to at least given a statement about the crisis. A simple statement acknowledging the crisis and at least reassuring the families that they are doing everything they can to guarantee the safe return of their loved ones. Tell the families that their loved ones are in his thoughts. Show a little bit of compassion and caring.

  Show a little bit of leadership.

  The way he callously and indifferently shrugged off the questions about a crisis in which American citizens are being held hostage is disgraceful.

  The president was overseas last week bowing down to the king of Saudi Arabia and kissing the ass of  Turkey. How is he re-payed for his efforts? Exactly how I thought he would be re-payed for showing weakness.

 He is so afraid to offend Muslims that he doesn’t dare to say anything about the hostage crisis. That is the corner that he has painted himself into. So he will keep his mouth shut instead. I just thought it would have been appropriate to at least acknowledge the crisis and the suffering of the families who are going through this. I am not even asking him to come out and threaten the pirates. I just want him to show a little leadership.

  The world is watching his reaction to this and they are waiting. So far he has failed miserably.
