Obama's Public Statement From Hawaii Makes It Sound Like Terrorism Is On Vacation, Too

Obama’s 12/28 Public Statement About Airline Terrorist
Update 3pm Eastern (Michelle Malkin)
Obama doesn’t bother to wear a tie. He hastily reads a belated statement describing the incident like a small-town sheriff’s deputy rather than the leader of the free world. He ticks off investigative steps in a perfunctory, plodding, bloodless manner. “We will continue to every element of our national power to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat the violent extremists…anywhere where they are plotting attacks against Americans.” Eyes down on his paper the whole time — not looking at the camera and directing his statements at our enemies. He talks about “resilience” as a foreign concept, not something he believes in in his heart. Rushes through the end of his statement with a postscript about the violence in Iran.
Couldn’t get off the podium fast enough.
Inspiring.
“We will not rest.” Now, back to his vacation…
