A ship flying the US flag was boarded by pirates in international waters and it's captain is being held hostage, but there has not yet been one word out of Obama. This is a man who doesn't pass up an opportunity to get on camera, so where is he?

 

'Cause he's the first black Jimma Carter!

 

I don't get this piracy **** at all. Put me on any ship you wish with 6 guys and 6 M14s, I promise you we'll never be hijacked!

 

Wow.....really????
Not a huge fan either, but willing to give him and the new admistration a shot.
Can only get better from here, right?

 

The US Navy was originally formed by the "Naval Act of 1794" to combat piracy off the Barbary Coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This is the first US flagged ship to be boarded by pirates in 200 years.

 

Yeah RK1, I thought US crewed ships had a armory on board. Even that 16 year old kid who was sailing solo around the world and threatened by pirates several months ago in the China Sea had a 357.

But why hasn't our President even commented on this event?

 

one word......YELLOW!

 

Did not know this was a political forum. Give us a break.

 

"Everything Else" and "Post Whoring Newbie Thread" are free fire zones. Can't handle the heat, git yo *** out the kitchen!

 

you must be liberal. lol!

 

definitely run.
do NOT open these posts.
you will hate them.
You will question why you ride a SH.

I don't even know your political stance, but just your questioning ragging on a new democratic president without simply just piling on implies you will not like these threads and that you may actually think about politics rather than reacting on a lower brainstem function to guide yourself. I can only barely resist opening these threads or responding most of the time. I'm always sorry I do. But I'm waiting for my PC to transfer files and I'm desparate!
Stick to the MC threads and this is the best board on the internet by far, with great guys willing to help at almsot any opportunity. Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of being neighbors, close friends or even knowing each other well enough to tolerate our intolerances, and these threads lends themselves to hyperbole.

 

lol...yawn...lol...yawn

Sounds like a bunch of (collabrative?) wrist jerking, instead of knee jerking. Just make sure to clean up after you leave.

And yes if someone boarded my ship uninvited, they would get a face full of 12 gauge while they climbed up the side.

Won't be long before the Insurance companies either get their own army together to combat this or pull strings to get the coast guard back in water and off terra firma Iraqa/Kuwaita.

 

"Come On In My Kitchen", Great song by Robert Johnson.

 

what would the coast guard be doing on land??

 

Good stuff.

Heard Sonny and Terry do "kitchen" in mipples minn about 1976. Can't find it on youtube. Key to the highway is good though.

I bought the "Robert Johnson / The Complete Recordings" boxed set the week it came out in 1990. I bought a vinyl of him several years earlier. He influenced many.

I've got one Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee CD. Those guys sound like they really had fun playing.

I think just about every blues guitar player has recorded that one, and at least several claimed credit for writing it as well.

It really pisses me off that radio here in SoCal didn't play "race music" back in the 50s and early 60s. The first time I heard real blues, I thought "wow, where's that been".

 

Yeah, but Johnson recorded it in 1936 so I'll guess he deserves the credit.

I didn't grow up in Ca. and wasn't old enough to pay attention to music until the 60s. Late 60s rock and roll bands rescued the blues and gave these guys a second lease on life and some money too. I went to high school outside of Philly in the late 60s early 70s. Stations played way more Motown/R&B than the NYC area we'd moved from but little or no real blues.

Lived in Minneapolis in the late 70s. More blues clubs than any other kind.

Saw Buddy Guy, Son Seals, Koko Taylor, Albert King and half a hundred other greats in a club that held maybe 250 people. Eight Grain Belt draft beers for a dollar! Those were good times.

 

Give them a shot at what?
It can, and will, get a lot worse from here unless more people wake up to the tyranny being shoved down our throats by both parties.

 

***Please don't use such language***

 

What an idiot.

 

***No Personal Attacks please***

 

Good question. Here what the Cost Guard has to say about it...

By the way I think one of the best Robert Jonson songs is "They're Red Hot"...

"Hot tamales and they Reeeeeeeeed hot, yeah she got em fo sale"

 

you do a great Yoda...

johnny winter does a prety kickass version of it too

 

Fooling anyone, they are not. ( I think that is technically more correct)

 

Obama is all over the world apologizing for how badly our country treats others, yet this ship is supposedly loaded with food for humanitarian aid to African nations. I'm sick of liberals telling us what ******** we are as a nation.

Nobody is blaming Obama for anything, I'm just saying why hasn't he made a statement about this act of piracy on a ship flying the US flag.

 

Way to show your own ignorance. If he is on Air Force One, he has more communication power than some small countries. Press, yep, there are a limited amount of seats on AF1 for members of the Press. He could issue his own Press Release concerning the event.

That is what people are wanting to know. Where is his press release? Does he intend to allow the Piracy to happen Ships flying American flags. The sinking of a ship with American passengers was all it took to get us into WWII.

If Obama is not bad in your opinion, what has he done that is worthwhile?
