It takes the edge off Obama's downright rude arrogant response to reporters when questioned about the Captain's hostage situation. http://www.wikio.com/video/1008951 These muslam Somalic's practice the Quran, and the reason Obomi is so rude to the reporters is because he has shown more loyality, more support, to these terrorists than he has to the Americans who raised and supported him. Obama has no problem with his regime (his own term describing his followers) and al- though this ship was on their way to aid poor Somalia's, as these pirates are taking over the horn of Africa, this is what Obama's wants. He wants the terrorists to win. He embraces them. More money the pirates end up with, the more for Obomie get's. Obomie seems to be rooting for the axil of evil. If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, it's usually a duck. This Captain saved 20 of his crew. He acted in the bravery of the motto the Captain puts his men first. Now the terrorists have their own ships on their way. No telling how this will end, but my God is an awesome God. I pray a miracle, that those inhuman animals see the might and power of God with their own eyes. I pray this Captain is rescued no matter the cost. Leave no man behind. And then our ships have a right to defend themselves, and destroy every ship of these greedy, murderous, raping pirates. America has got to win back the respect of all the countries who are laughing at America, Obama is laughing right alone with them. He speaks with more love for terrorists than the country who gave him everything he has. Bring out the F-22's Obama just unlawfully put out to pasture to waste $$$. This is their purpose. Obama's new intelligence chief with 30 years naval experience? All waste. Al Morone, thanks for the humor. It takes the edge off Obama’s downright rude arrogant response to reporters when questioned about the Captain’s hostage situation.

These muslam Somalic’s practice the Quran, and the reason Obomi is so rude to the reporters is because he has shown more loyality, more support, to these terrorists than he has to the Americans who raised and supported him. Obama has no problem with his regime (his own term describing his followers) and al- though this ship was on their way to aid poor Somalia’s, as these pirates are taking over the horn of Africa, this is what Obama’s wants. He wants the terrorists to win. He embraces them. More money the pirates end up with, the more for Obomie get’s. Obomie seems to be rooting for the axil of evil. If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, it’s usually a duck.

This Captain saved 20 of his crew. He acted in the bravery of the motto the Captain puts his men first. Now the terrorists have their own ships on their way.
No telling how this will end, but my God is an awesome God. I pray a miracle, that those inhuman animals see the might and power of God with their own eyes.

He and his handlers intend to bring the US down to the level of everybody else.
