POTUS making an unannounced, unexpected statement at 10:30 p.m.

[Raine1967]

Just a heads up. No word on what or why. This is floating across my twitter feed from numerous sources.

1. Thanks.

Maybe it's about the attack on Gaddafi's family yesterday? :shrug:

[MinneapolisMatt]

2. Interesting.

Thank you for the alert. :hi:

[msongs]

3. resignation of somebody? nt

[Kceres]

4. CNN just reported the same. Wonder what's up?

[dkf]

5. Am I the only one feeling nervous about this?

What could it possibly be?

[MinneapolisMatt]

6. No.

This is very unusual.

[sfwriter]

7. Debt Ceiling... Libya....

Or aliens... Or asteroid...

I'll bet debt ceiling.

8. CNN says national security related

Bin Laden? Probably not, but that would be something.

[wysingm]

9. Something about the flooding?

[spooky3]

10. MSNBC says we *may* have only a paper statement, not an appearance.

Nothing yet about the content. "Officials being very tight-lipped."

11. I hope they interrupt programming on NBC. It'll break up the

Celebrity Apprentice ;)

[jillan]

14. Lol!

[jenmito]

12. Maybe they got bin Laden? n.t

[jillan]

13. Wolfie says he thinks he knows what it is... and he said it's not Libya.

OMG the suspense is killing me!

[spooky3]

16. the poor anchor on MSNBC - they hand him a note from Pete Williams

and he asks whether he can read it aloud, they appear to tell him yes, then mid-sentence, he's told not to read it.

He said only something like "an administration official..."

Now, President will be speaking about a "grave CIA operation overseas."

[graywarrior]

17. Wolfie can't contain himself

[Carni]

15. I think it's about bin forgotten

Wonder what the hell this is? They almost announced it on MSNBC then they said they were told to hold it. Gotta be bin forgotten IMO

[spooky3]

18. "President will be speaking about a "grave CIA operation overseas.""

I wonder if it is about the Libya missile that allegedly killed Ghadafi family members?

[DrToast]

19. It's not related to Libya, the White House has said.*

21. NBC says regarding Bin Laden.

[Carni]

22. OMG! I was right!

I don't know if I am more surprised that he was actually still alive, or that they caught this M-Fer!

If they caught him (obviously he was is still alive) that is fantastic and I feel like going out in the yard and banging pots and pans!

20. Thanks for the heads up for those of us that usually avoid TV snooze.
