Obama took three days to finally address the terror attack on Christmas Day. He spent those three days on vacation in Hawaii, going to the gym, golfing, and hanging out at the beach. His statement appear hurried and agitated, with Obama appearing annoyed at having to take time away from his vacation at all. He said all the right things, but it was the way he said them. Nevertheless, he promised not to rest until the terrorists had been caught.
I guess he had a hot tip that there were some terrorists at the Luana Hills Golf Course, because it looks like he went directly from his press conference there.
TEEING OFF: A half-hour after President Obama vowed to catch the terrorists behind a plot to blow up a plane on Christmas, he arrived at 10:40 a.m. at the Luana Hills Country Club, where a golf course winds through a rain forest, the pool reports.
The club is below inland cliffs and the towering Mt. Olomana.
Yeah… there’s a president who is really devoted to catching everyone involved with this incident. I bet he even gives himself a good solid B+ on national security now.

Oh my goodness, and he i hope he doesnt wonder why so many poeple hate him! What a lazy behind president! This is the ALL TIME LOW!!!!
WOW, is he a presdient just for the extra luxuries? If so we need to get rid of him! Hell, we need to anyway! All the “change” he was supposively bringing to us is all a bunch of bull ! I hope everyone who voted for him feels HORRIBLE that they voted for such a sorry man!!!!
President*
I’ll bet, that just like OJ, Obama thought he’d find the real killer on the golf course!
Is there a grade called worthless piece of shit? That is the only grade/definition I will give him.
George W. Bush got criticized for finishing the book he was reading to a bunch of pre-schoolers on 09/11 (All of 10 minutes) yet Obama says nothing for 3 days…….and then goes golfing a half-hour later. Bush got criticized for saying he is not going to golf because he did not feel right golfing while putting military in harm’s way and the press said he did it for publicity reasons….Obama sends 30000 trips off to war, while probably practicing his short game and nobody says anything. How the hell did this putz ever get elected…….
I posted this reply over at the Green Room as well, but…
Cassy,
I bow to no one in my distaste for the current White House resident, but I think that everyone’s response here is a little over the top. I didn’t criticize Bush’s “watch my drive” and I’m not going to criticize Obama for trying to lessen the stress that comes with being President. I’ll go out on a limb and say that information and updates can reach Obama just as easily on the golf course as anywhere else, much like Bush could be reached while in Crawford.
Oh, and style over substance in his speech? Bush was criticized for saying the right things too arrogantly. Are we now going to complain when Obama actually says the right things just because we don’t like his tone? I realize about foolish consistency and all, but I don’t want to devolve into schoolyard lingo: He did it first!
Crikey. I cannot believe that I’m actually defending Obama here, and from you of all people. Probably a good idea to check out the window to see if four guys on horseback are riding by.
I actually said the same thing Anthony Andolini said over at mediaite, and the left winger commenters went crazy. I was trying to make a comparison of the left wing reaction to this event, and the left reaction to Bush sitting in a classroom. At mediaite, the lefty commenters thought that Obama’s reaction of 3 days was great. They saw him as “calm” and “cool” and I guess that made me lose it.
The hypocrisy was amazing. President Bush spends a few minutes in a classroom, and the left freaked out on him, but President Obama takes 3 DAYS to say anything about this, and the left thinks it’s fantastic.
The thing is, I always thought that Bush sitting in the classroom was a great example of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t.”
If he got up right away he would have been critized for scaring the kids, and if he stayed to long…well, we know how that turned out.
Physics Geek: I think the point being raised here is the hypocrites that are now defending Obama for not doing anything, defending “the system worked” while they absolutely tore Bush to shreds. I’d like to hear Michael Moore’s thoughts on this since “watch this drive” was a center piece of the trailer for his movie…
