No, our POTUS was too busy with housing and who knows what else to make any kind of decision or to grant our well-trained military permission to take aggressive action until Saturday. Captain Phillips was a distraction to Obama, a monkey wrench thrown into his grand plan to change America as quickly as possible.

I know some quarters have praised/defended Obama for not speaking out about the situation while it was unfolding. His silence, and the silence from the White House has been deafening. Obama didn’t need to say a lot, he just needed to acknowledge the situation, give hope to the nation that is matter was being handled properly. He couldn’t do that. I’m not even sure Obama understands the need for him to do that.
