I see nothing cynical about being amused by the timing of the time of the night that this announcement was made.

Yep and I'm sure the Obama Administration has made note of that.

Oh no, I don't think they'd be able to keep quiet that long. Then again, what do we commoners know.

It would be amazing if he just sat silently for 30 minutes. Then, at 11:00 eastern, he speaks up and admits that he just wanted to fark with "The Apprentice"'s ratings.
From a comment online.

LOL. As serious as this announcement is, I wouldn't be shocked if President Obama was sitting, drinking a chai latte so this could interfere with Celebrity Apprentice.

I'm getting tired of hearing the reporters talking. President needs to hurry up or I will put in this dvd.

They've switched to an empty podium at the White House so it can't be too much longer...

He has arrived. This is powerful stuff. We are united as one American family.

Okay, I kind of want him to spare the poetic introduction and just say "ding dong, the witch is dead...ding dong, the wicked witch is dead...."

Good announcement. Understandably, President looked tired. I did chuckle at the empty podium, the walk down the red aisle, and the walk back up the red aisle.

Now I'm getting the "So he's dead. I don't care. I have school tomorrow." tweets from my sister's TL.

Oh, these kids.

There's a party in Washington, D.C. around the White House. It's a celebration, bitches. Tomorrow might be a national holiday.

This is like America's Royal Wedding party.

I dislike being happy when someone dies.

But I say try everything once and this seems like a good time to try being-happy-when-someone-dies. I'm hoping that this can be kind of a cheery thought for everyone that survived the storms this week.
