After that whole Christmas Crotch-Bomb scare, it was nice to see the Prez whip out his teleprompter 72 hours later (hey, he was on vacation!) to deliver the following lies reassuring words to an adoring media the American people: "We will not rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable."
Those are some really great words. Spoken by the President of the United States while on vacation (resting) in Hawaii.
The same guy who stated last month, "I will not rest until all Americans who want work can find work." With roughly one in ten Americans unemployed, where is the President? Why, I believe he's resting, on vacation, in Hawaii.
If his lips are moving, he's lying.
President Barack Obama, in his first public comments on the attempted bombing of a U.S. airliner traveling from Amsterdam to Detroit, described the suspect as “an isolated extremist,” despite reports that the 23-year-old Nigerian had been trained in Yemen, a country he visited twice.
Unlike the President, some local Detroit Muslims have had about enough, and are speaking up to make their views known: Area Muslims, representing the local Nigerian and Yemeni communities, gathered to condemn the failed terrorist attack aboard a flight headed to Detroit on Christmas Day and send a message to al-Qaida supporters that their actions are not condoned by Islam.
"Killing and targeting civilians is unacceptable in Islam," said Dawud Walid, executive director of Michigan's Council on American-Islamic Relations, at a press conference convened this morning in the local chapter's office in Southfield.
He was flanked by three area Muslim leaders: Imam Kazeem Agboola, head of the Muslim Community Center in Detroit; Noa Fasina, secretary of the center; and Ibrahim Aljahim, president and CEO of Arab American Outreach.
The President of the United States is an actor. So was Ronald Reagan. But Reagan excelled at his craft, whereas Obama is a rank amateur. And Reagan didn't need a teleprompter. He had defined priorities. Of course, so does Obama: his just happen to involve a golf course.
