Obama is speaking tonight.  Anyone heard anything?  Strange, 10 PM on a Sunday?

My guess is Gaddafi is either captured or dead. I can't think of what else would be this important that it would have to get out at a weird time.

Edit: Or the comedy option: Obama admits the birth certificate is faked, he's really from Kenya, and resigns the Presidency immediately.

CNN is saying it is related to national security.

Almost definitely something to do with Gaddafi.

He's going to announce that Gaddafi is his father, and the birth certificate was falsified to hide that fact.

Just heard this on CNN and FOX ... I'm guessing something with Gaddafi.

EDIT: MSNBC, not CNN.

Maybe Qaddafi is leaving; I doubt if they could verify he's dead.

Wolf Blitzer just talked to a senior White House official and they said it is definitively not anything Libya-related or Gadhafi-related.  Wolf said he has a hunch, but he doesn't want to speculate because he doesn't know for sure.  The White House won't reveal anything other than it doesn't involve Libya.

It sounds like something time sensitive.  Bin Laden?

15 minutes.

Bin Laden.

For some reason I feel like it will be something totally crazy like we caught Osama or we're going to war with Mars but in all likelihood it will be boring like every other Obama address.

Edit: 18 seconds late

I wonder just how many people on the East Coast will be watching it live just before 11:00 pm when they have to get up early for work and school Monday morning.  The Central Time Zone is even sketchy in terms of getting people to stay up as it will be nearly 10:00 here.

Blitzer just said it concerns the world, not just the U.S.

Geraldo Rivera just made a wild guess - perhaps it's Bin Laden?

Thanks.  I wish I could go turn on CNN but everyone's asleep.  BTW, you can watch the statement here.  http://www.whitehouse.gov/live/president-obama-delivers-statement

Wolf Blitzer and Ed Henry are probably a little miffed at the President because they were at home resting tonight getting ready for work tomorrow, when they had to rush into work late on a Sunday night.

I still think they're jumping to conclusions before it comes out of the President's mouth.
