It seemed to me that Obama wasn’t really into his speech today while on vacation in Hawaii. It seemed to me he was more worried about his vacation (or something) other than the events at hand. Those events being that a terrorist successfully got explosives onto a plane and tried to detonate them about 10 minutes before landing in Detroit.
He seemed distracted. It wasn’t one of his great “everything will be alright” or “the world will love us” or “we need this or that in America” speeches. He really seemed distracted. He really seemed like he was being taken away from his vacation and he wasn’t happy having to deal with the terrorist business or worst yet have to talk to the American peon’s while on vacation.
But at least after his speech he was able to go and get some golf in. But that got interupted as a child of Obama’s friends was injured at the house that Obama is staying at.
Now Obama did seem to care very much about this. At one point an ambulance went racing by and soon after that the motorcade was going so fast to get back to the residence that it lost the bus carrying all the reporters.
In some fairness, I believe the child’s parents were golfing with Obama at the time.
But no worries. It is being reported that the child only had minor injuries.
The ambulance later drove off with lights still flashing and Obama returned to the golf course to play.
Where was Obama’s swift course of action (like a speech) when this terrorist tried bombing the plane. This happened on Christmas Day and here we are 3 days later and we finally heard from a disingenuous, distracted almost uncaring President.
Oh he said the right things. “We will not rest” until they are captured and tried. Well sir, I am not counting on you to go get them. It will take months of talking to your Czars, finding out what others think, or what other countries think….after all, we wouldn’t want to upset them. Look how long it took you authorize troops for Afghanistan for a General that you appointed specifically for the reason of completing the job there.
Yes we know it was Al-Qaeda. They have laid claim to the attempted bombing saying that is was in response to a U.S. attack on a group in Yemen.
But, at least Obama is still able to get some golf in while in Hawaii. Hope the speech to us common folk didn’t take away from his vacation to much.
