Obama wasn’t joking when he said that he would sit down and talk with those who oppose the United States:

NAIROBI, April 10 — The FBI and the U.S. Navy continued delicate negotiations Friday with Somali pirates holding an American captain in a lifeboat drifting in the Indian Ocean, as one U.S. destroyer hulked nearby and additional naval ships were speeding to the scene, U.S. officials said.

At the same time, Somali sources said other pirates were motoring toward the scene off the Horn of Africa country, where their colleagues were thwarted Wednesday by the American crew of the 17,000-ton Maersk Alabama container ship. The second pirate boat, which was a previously hijacked German ship, was loaded with guns, and held seven hostages, including French nationals who had been seized earlier, to deter the U.S. military from any action, the sources said, speaking on the condition of anonymity for their safety.

Pirates? PIRATES?!?!?!?

Apparently, Obama refused to comment on the situation yesterday, as the pirates have his back to the wall.


Aarrgh! Shiver me timbers… Barack, walk the plank!

Hmm….

What is the President planning? To send in his specialist in pirate negotiations???

Michelle Malkin on the round up of opinions:

Ed Morrissey wonders what DHS secretary Janet Napolitano will rename the problem? “A stowaway problem? On-demand course correction?”

Bucktown Dusty jibes that DHS has simply renamed pirates “Aquatic Parrot Trainers.”

I, Tommy Oliver, think that Obama’s great wealth of experience will no doubt lead him to put together an experienced panel on the dangers of sailing the high seas:

What will Obama say once he has his face to face sit down/negotiations that he promised during his campaign?


Mama, you been bad!!!

Well, I guess we’re safe in the knowledge that at least we didn’t elect Mike Huckabee. After all, he did pardon this guy…
