Hillary thinks pirates taking Americans hostage is pretty funny. Or something. Obama is mute.

Oddly enough, I don't think it's funny at all.  Update:  She must be in a good mood about scoring tickets to the American Idol finale.  (I kid you not.)

I guess it's better than Obama who refuses to discuss it all.

President Barack Obama on Thursday refused to answer questions about the hostage situation off the coast of Somalia. The president was asked about the incident as he met with U.S. homeowners to discuss refinancing mortgages. 

At the close of the White House event, the president was asked by a reporter if he was concerned about the piracy incident.

Obama responded: "Guys, we're talking about housing right now." Reporters were then ushered out of the room as they usually are after such events. As of midday Thursday, Obama had not yet commented publicly on the incident.

Let me tell you, if I was held hostage somewhere and these two acted like this with regards to my situation, when I got loose I would come back here and give them both a piece of my mind.   I would blister them both.

This just in:  John Kerry calls for pirate hearings - that'll help for sure!

What in tarnation does she find so amusing: AMERICAN CITIZENS being held by pirates? Or simply the concept of piracy in this day and age? So far, she is a walking disaster as SecState. She should be ashamed of herself.

Stoutcat - Watching the Obama admin bumbling, stumbling and fumbling across the world stage is just painful.

I just know that as an American citizen, I look at the case of Miss North Dakota, John Solecki, and the captain of the Maersk Alabama and I say, 'God help you if you become a pawn of America's enemies'.

The US government will be "deeply concerned" but they will not bring America's power to bear in order to save you. No, you will be sacrificed on the altar of their political correctness and lame diplomacy.

It's just shameful.
