I was looking for factual information on the pirate thing ... and stumbled across this thread on FreeRepublic. Here are some of the comments made in the three hours or so preceding the news of the total pwnage of the pirates.

* "Obama: making the US look like limp-wristed weaklings"

* "I hope we take no prisoners, and start sinking pirate boats all over the area, but I guess it's a bit much to expect from their blood brother in the White House."

* "This is why the POTUS needs to born in the USA. 0bama has no idea whose side he’s on. He’s a citizen of the earth as the liberals like to say. We are under occupation."

* "The problem lies with the muzzie in chief alone."

* "Obama is crippling our Military and making us the laughing stock of the world."

* "I seem to recall Klintoon had no qualms about bustin caps into religious “compounds” or “suspected Right Wing Separatists”. Oh wait, they weren't mooslimbs were they?"

* "I am suprised not one of you get what is going on. On Wednesday America will be holding an historic event in these Tea Parties. It will make a huge difference in the 2010 elections and beyond. So what do you think the White House will do? They are waiting for the timing to be right to go after the hostages and marginalize the Tea Parties."

* "So it all falls on Obama. Obama doesn’t want to kill a muslim. That is all it comes down to."

* "Obama doesn’t want to kill a muslim = Obama doesn’t want to kill a FELLOW muslim"

* "I think Obama is certainly making himself the laughing stock of the world! There's always hope America will come to her senses when she sees what a sissy she has elected Commander-in-Chief."

* "How could Hussein possibly attack fellow Muslims? Now if the pirates were lutherans...."

* "He has no idea what to do...scratch that he won't hurt his fellow muslims but he will sacrifice Americans"

* "Tim Geithner is the same he spent his formative years in Asia where his dad was a key Ford Foundation operative who even met 0bama's mother a few times Geithner and 0bama are damaged goods And Hawaii is such a multi-culti state our first one in fact. 0bomo grew up multi-kulti there and still harbored resentments because he was black or semi-black or semi-Muslim or what have you. It was multi-kulti back when 0bama grew up there and in Indonesia"

* "I am every day, more and more horrified that this idiot is president. Things will get worse, I’m afraid. He’s cutting this country off at the knees on so many levels."

* "I heard Obama formed a special blue ribbon commission to discuss how best to deal with the hostage situation. Their first course of action was to declare this a law enforcement problem not a military problem so they call in the FBI to enforce U.S. laws off the shores of Somalia with the navy serving as visual props. Their next course of action was to have hostage negotiators who are doing everything they can to end the standoff without paying the ransom. The last step is to find a third party to whom they can give the ransom money to in order for that country to siphon the money to the pirates without anyone knowing that it ever happened. This is the Obama way of resolving global conflicts."

* "Better that Americans find out now rather than later Somali pirates are doing us a favor"

* "He knows EXACTLY whose side he is on. It just doesn't happen to be America's side."

* "And in the back of my mind, I wonder of the possibility of Obama being blackmailed through these pirates, who could be connected to others in Kenya who have access to his Kenyan birth records."

* "Well at least Biden was right on one account. zer0 would ***** the bed on some international crisis with in a short time. He’s doing it now"

* "What the NAVY “wants” is not at all at issue here. Obama is calling the shots, and Obama is a panty waiste coward."

* "The c-i-c is a cowardly Marxist who has more gaul to lie and post a forgery to ascend to the presidency than to stand up against terrorists Somali Muslim pirates."

* "You can just feel the public rage boiling close to the surface! Taking this country back may not be a peaceful proposition!"

* "Headline? Alabama's captain is a "typical white person" President Weighs Cost-Benefit Of Rescue Effort "We have millions of them," said White House spokesman"

* "Put the blame where it belongs, on the Coward in Chief."

* "Ah, but the supposed real conservatives ridicule and condescend that birthers should shut up and wait for a better issue! ... I'm sick of these DNC agitprops soiling my once grand FR home with their pseudo-conservative claptrap. This affirmative action fraud-in-chief must be opposed at the most fundamental level, and all the rest of the levels beyond that! It is a real possibility that this lying PME (piece of muslim excriment) in the oval orifice is being blackmailed over his place of birth! Is that too hard for folks to see?"

* "ANYONE that is HYPHENATED has DUAL LOYALTIES!! He is an AFRICAN-AMERICAN....int the TRUEST SENSE!!"

* "If this doesn’t make you mad; nothing will. Imagine a President intentionally putting an American or Americans in harms way. Impeach this yahoo now."

* "The possibility of the birthplace issue being used against us is one of my concerns. Lord knows how many Lord Zero would allow to die to keep his secret."

* "This bears repeating ... We are under occupation."

* "0bama is committing TREASON. He’s a Benedict Arnold. He’s a Traitor to the USofA!"

* "We’ve become a pathetic, ridiculed nation in three short months. I’ve wondered if there’s any entity that can over-ride Hussein’s trashing of the Constitution and destruction of liberty. Mark Levin said there isn’t — it’s handled through the election process. You’d think SCOTUS could step in and control a traitor."

* "It’s such a “coincidence” that the pirates are rowing to Hussein’s homeland. Of all the ports in the world — Kenya? C’mon."

* "We have become the enemies. The terrorists are now being let go and we will be the prosecuted ones."

* "We lost, folks. It’s all over except the bloodshed part."
 
I seem to recall a few here that were on about Obama having no "spine, no muscle".. "then how does he stand??".. *high five* .. ect.. ect..

Pretty hilarious. But the ones to come will be even funnier when you watch them doing pretzel imitations trying to spin this.

I expect some will fault Obama for not continuing on and invading Somalia.
****
ETA:

No need to wonder. Let's look.

"Now we should destroy the port, kill the elders, issue Letters of Marque, and post a bounty on pirates’ heads."

"NO credit to BO for this. Captain Phillips’ & his families suffering could have ended days ago if we had a legitimate CIC."

"Great news. How long until Obozo goes on the air proclaiming this a great victory for his foreign policy?"

"obozo is just fool enough to come out mourning the loss of life.......and to fire the Navy Seals who disobeyed orders and shot to save the captain."

"And Obamination CanNOT take credit for ANY of this operation due to the sailors now letting the WORLD know that they were "under attack for a WEEK!" Obama was doing NOTHING for a WEEK LONGER than anyone even KNEW!"

"The Navy could have achieved the exact same outcome on the day that the Bainbridge arrived on scene. Why look like a bunch of {weaklings} for 4 or 5 days only to understand today that this was the only possible successful outcome??? All the Obama administration did was show weakness."

"Obama is totally screwed now. How can he come out and praise our NAVY’s admirable handling of this situation and the Captain’s unbelievable bravery, when three of his “skinny” homeboys are gone to Davey Jones’ Locker?"

... you don't have to go too far to find this stuff.

I guess you missed when I praised him for doing the right thing.


My highest praise to Obama for doing the only thing that should be done.Kudos Obama

How many pirate attacks occurred on Clinton's watch?

Does the phrase 'Black Hawk Down' ring a bell? You know, where we had troops in Somalia with the intent of preventing this all in the first place all under President William Jefferson Clinton?

But then again, keep blaming Bush for all the problems up the Bush Derangement Syndrome, it is entertaining to watch.

Why don't you blame Clinton for leaving problems galore for Bush to fix? Oh wait, Democrats can do no wrong.

Well ... The Painter did apologize handsomely, as he pointed out, and I'm fairly sure that applecorped's "How does he stand?" was a joke.

And The Painter's dumbest remarks don't come close to:

"He won't hurt his fellow muslims but he will sacrifice Americans"

or

"It is a real possibility that this lying PME (piece of muslim excriment) in the oval orifice is being blackmailed over his place of birth! Is that too hard for folks to see?"

or

"Headline? Alabama's captain is a "typical white person" President Weighs Cost-Benefit Of Rescue Effort "We have millions of them," said White House spokesman"

or

"ANYONE that is HYPHENATED has DUAL LOYALTIES!! He is an AFRICAN-AMERICAN"
 
You're right, that stuff is pure crazy, in comparison.. but i still think there's a completely distorted perception of Obama that they're attempting to paint him as, without much of a basis for it.

:jaw-dropp

Oh my.
 
Great job by all concerned. Obama would certainly take criticism for authorizing the force if it had failed, so it's only fair to give him praise when it works out.

Indeed. I am reminded of Carter and his attempt to free the Iran hostages. You don't get points for "trying" in politics.

The Somalis could be legitimately described as resisting what they took to be a foreign invasiopn. Utterly irrelevant crap thrown in by a defender of the Shrub. It has no bearing on what happened on the high seas. We have the best Navy in the world and one of its purposes has always been to suppress piracy.

(Not that I expect the typical Republican to understand that.)

But then again, keep blaming Bush for all the problems up the Bush Derangement Syndrome, it is entertaining to watch.

What is deranged about saying that an ineffectual wussy boy with no military savvy couldn't deal with a simple problem when it is obviously true? Bush should have done something years ago, but he was too busyt playing Crusader elsewhere and wasted the resources that he needed for this job.

Why don't you blame Clinton for leaving problems galore for Bush to fix? Oh wait, Democrats can do no wrong.

This is a deranged statement. Clinton didn't leave problems for the Shrub. The Shrub screwed up all the efforts that Clinton had made to provide a response to ObL. You do not get to rewrite history.

Oh for heaven's sake ...

May I remind you that our Constitution includes a clause to the effect that we are supposed to respond to piracy on the high seas?

It was an on-going problem under the Shrub and he shrugged it off.

Busted.
