Well Done!
One hero rescued, 3 Pirates Dead,and one Pirate to be tried.
Damn Proud—that’s right! POTUS Obama did the right thing—can’t take that away and it should be recognized—he did what needed to be done!
So, I do feel partially responsible for adding to pressure the BO Administration for what needed to be done with those Somali rat-bastard Pirates— and no, I’m not going to call them by their politically correct and stool-softened name—I refuse! And, no, I’m not feeling bad for their demise either.
My satirical conversation between Barack and Jimmy hit the nail on the head. I’m sure there are people unhappy with the end response, but the heck with them—it needed to be done. More needs to be done and hopefully that is coming in both word and action.
Also, sidenote: you won’t see or hear anyone complaining about the course of action taken by the administration—because those who are in the tank for him would never say anything against him and those in the opposition camp are happy with the course of action because it needed to be done. The Republicans won’t use this as an opportunity to grab power—that’s just how it works.
Yes, I’m a little full of myself (and also making fun of myself a little,) but it’s these voices, OUR VOICES, we must be willing to use, speak up and out to be heard by our leaders who may or may not be listening! Make it so they have to listen. You know that annoying voice that can’t be ignored.
Keep beating the drum!
Would anyone care for some TEA…

Captain Phillips freed, 3 pirates killed by Ed Morrissey
Here’s a happy ending on Easter Sunday for Hot Air readers. Captain Richard Phillips is now free from the pirates holding him hostage, and three of the four captors are now free of oxygen use as a result:
Update II: Looks like the initial reports were incorrect. After being authorized to use force by President Obama, Navy SEALs took their shots when it appeared the pirates were about to shoot Phillips. Kudos to the SEALs, and kudos to Obama for making the right call. If this had gone badly, he would have taken the blame, so it’s fair to credit him with taking the steps necessary to finally bring this to a happy conclusion.
