Captain Richard Phillips perilously spent his fourth day in a lifeboat drifting in the Indian Ocean with Somali pirate guns pointing at his head. His mind is probably racing wondering if the United States will be able to save him or if he'll ever see his family again.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama spends the fourth day of the pirate crisis throwing a pizza party for 140 guests. Obama spared no expense -- probably on the taxpayer's dime -- flying in chefs from the St. Louis restaurant Pi.
I wonder if any members of the mainstream media were invited to this soiree? Maybe, since there are so many cute stories about his pizza party floating around on the Internet. No mention of Captain Phillips ordeal in the fluffy Obama pizza stories.
If only we had a Republican president, perhaps the press would actually do their job and keep him fully accountable for the way he's handling this crisis.
