If Disneyworld replaced Pirates of the Caribbean with Pirates of the Gulf of Aden, would the ride be so scary that no one would want to go on? There's something about the khat-chewing Somali ocean bandits that's far less appealing than Yellowbeard, Captain Kidd, and Long John Silver.

"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."

A real shockagh, this.

This is Leadership (or was that Change?) you can believe in.

You can always count on that Mensa John Kerry when there's a crisis to go all the way and call for hearings.

By the way, did you know he was in Viet Nam?

While our Junior Senator is doing his best, we need to also send Ted Kennedy out there to help the Pirates and take control of that life boat. Pirates drown; Ted swims to safety - case closed.

I'm more worried about the Saskatchewan pirate.

See, this is what the weakling in the White House is concerned about. Hurting feelings and politically correct protocol. He's more concerned about what Africa thinks than his own country. And the world laughs and thumbs it's nose....

"Senior Obama administration officials are debating how to address a potential terrorist threat to U.S. interests from a Somali extremist group, with some in the military advocating strikes against its training camps. But many officials maintain that uncertainty about the intentions of the al-Shabab organization dictates a more patient, nonmilitary approach.

Al-Shabab, whose fighters have battled Ethiopian occupiers and the tenuous Somali government, poses a dilemma for the administration, according to several senior national security officials who outlined the debate only on the condition of anonymity."

If the United States can't now deal with four doped up third world reprobates in a canoe, how do we deal with China, Russia and North Korea?

Bad times for the U.S.of A.

Ask Little Barry, won't talk about it. Ask Little Barry's Vice President, won't talk about it and passes the buck to a low level official. Ask Little Barry's Secretary of State, it's just a big yuk. Ask Little Barry's Attorney General, it's no big thang'.

This is amateur hour folks.

Our sovereignty, our respect and our standing in the eyes of the world are being tested and this inept bunch of immature socialist are failing miserably.

This is what happens when you elect a community organizer and career campaigner.
