After the North Koreans ignored Bhillary Clinton’s warnings and fired their missile, Obama came on television with a stern face and forceful voice declaring “rules are rules” and later “words have to mean something.”
Now, after the Somali pirates fired at the US Naval vessel following their stolen lifeboat, the White House forcefully, strongly, with determined resoluteness, announced that the President is getting updates.
We can all sleep better now.
Change you can believe in.

Update: US Navy snipers killed the pirates and freed the Captain.
However, Obama had not ordered the action. Instead “Fluffy” Obama merely tried to vote “Present” again by signing off on letting the Navy Captain on scene to do what he thought necessary. This would have let “Fluffy” sidestep responsibility in case someone other than a pirate got killed.
Watch for “Fluffy” to try to reword this to make himself look forceful.

Another update
Orwellian media management now has Obama falsely portrayed as a strong leader for approving the use of force by the Navy. First, the use of force is the only reason the Navy exists. It is military, not the Peace Corps.
Second, the President has no business micro-managing insignificant military operations. If the President were tied up on everey action involving four hostile individuals, and there were only four pirates, than the world could not function.
Third, if the President is responsible for every little military operation, the Obama is responsible for the deaths of all the servicemen who have died this week in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Obama has ordered a total increase in US military forces in the Mideast.
Increase!
He has betrayed his campaign promises and betrayed the left who elected him.
You say it much more concisely than I. Tough talk but the words really do mean something just not as they appear on the surface.
Wow I don’t know what news sources you were reading, but from what I heard on the t.v news channels and read online Obama was the one to give the okay to use force when the Captain was presumed to be in danger. Is the Commander in Chief for God sake.

Lets stop the hate and be happy of this family in knowing that they will have their family member back.
You claim “Obama was the one to give the okay to use force when the Captain was presumed to be in danger?”
He was being held by pirates! To muddle words like “presumed to be in danger” is at best an oxymoron.
The earliest reports are generally the truth, before being edited by “political correctness” and Orwellian propaganda.
The earliest reports were that Obama gave the Navy permission to act as they believed necesssary, which is very different from what “Heavenly” smooched about.
To call any intelligent analysis “hate” is not “Heavenly” but is Orwelllian mind control.
