In sailing lore it was seen as honorable for a captain to be the last off a sinking ship. The captains ultimate duty was to see that his passengers and his crew were all safe and sound or die trying. We have seen modern examples like the wreck of the Costa Concordia where a captain left the ship while it was still in peril. The captain was quickly arrested and chaired with a number of maritime crimes. The excuses and lies given by the skipper of that ill fated ship bare a similar resemblance to the anointed one, president Obama.
The ships captain of the Concordia was asked if he was on the ship leading the rescue efforts. The man lied as the Italian coast guard could hear the engine of his life raft. Obama states that he was leading the effort to help those in Benghazi. No one can really tell us where exactly he was for many hours during the attack. We know for a fact that next day he after knowing four Americans were dead he went to a fund raising party. The coast guard pressed thr captain for information on what part of the ship he was in. The captain reluctantly confessed to, "directing efforts from outside the ship".
Obama when pressed stated that he was not certain who was responsible for the attacks and that it may be a video that caused a spontaneous riot. Last week deputy secretary of state Hicks testified that he told Hillary Clinton at 2 AM that it was a Terrorist attack. Later that afternoon the Libyan president even names the group responsible.
Ultimately the Captain of the Concordia refused to go back onto the ship and lead. Passangers and crew did their best to save each other in spite of being leaderless. For the last two days the president has refused to revisit or admit blame for any of the three huge scandals that are tarnishing his presidency. The media is speculating that a fourth scandal will come out Friday concerning illegal campaign donations.
What was the captain doing that caused that ship to crash into the rocks. The captain was busy partying with his model girlfriend and showing off his power as a captain. The distractions are what ended his career and caused dozens of deaths. Obama has played over 125 rounds of golf, had numerous multi-million dollar vacations, dozens of fund raising partys and non stop campaigning. Is that the "I" word I hear in the wind.
