President Obama un-duly criticized during Somali Hostage Crisis

President Barack Hussein Obama received un-warranted criticism from extreme right-wing author and commentator Ann Coulter today on the Sunday Morning Fox Political show; and also from the extreme far-right Republican radio show hosts Tammy Bruce, Rush Limbaugh etc...throughout this hostage ordeal since Wednesday. Reaching for anything to bash a Democratic President, these extreme right talkers uniformly stated that the President was "too non-communicative" with the American people and the President is "not prepared" to handle such a daunting military task (btw it was President Obama that gave the "attack-when-ready" order Saturday).

Apparently -- according to these extreme right-wing talking heads -- the President was supposed to tell the entire world of his secret military plans. Or, according to extreme right talkers, the United States President was supposed to blow up the boat with everyone on it including Captain Phillips, as maybe the President's predecessor GW Bush or Reagon (or Ann, Rush, and Tammy) probably would have done. No diplomacy, just shoot first and talk later.

The longer the stand off, the more un-reasonably loud the criticism from right-wing representatives. What is evident from McCain-Palin through now, is that all of these extreme right-wing nationally known media communicators have turned out to be critically and occasionally 'dangerously' wrong about our now 'even more' popular African-American President. I use the word "dangerously" because these anti-Presidential sentaments from the extreme right national communicators expressing weakness could endanger the lives of Americans abroad.

If you can write these extreme right-wing media moguls, authors, and think tank lobbyist, please do so. Let them know to 'think before they speak.' Foreign terrorist, pirates, and criminals could take their anti-American comments as an opportunity to attack Americans.

President Obama continues to be a cut above the norm. Partisanship politics from the extreme right-winger media outlets and their political analysts continue to dig deeper holes for themselves. Soon the holes will be so deep that they'll be sitting on the Great Wall of China spiting tobacco in a can talking about the good old days of Strom Thurmond and Lee Atwater terrorism. If they continue down the same path of Atwater's protege' Carl Rove, the Republican Party will be surpassed by the Liberterians, Independents, and the Green Party within ten years.

President Obama undoubtedly will get little or no credit as the great Commander-In-Chief that he is in the coming days from the extreme right. However the rescue party will commence with family, friends, and co-workers of Captain Richard Phillips nonetheless. More than likely that will include a visit with President Barack Obama and the US Navy Seals at the White House in Washington DC. The celebration may have to wait until the President returns from Mexico as he begins to save more lives due to the out-of-control drug trafficking and territorial warfare going on throughout our country.
