Why is Reuters telling us, or the White House telling us, that Obama is monitoring some nitwit setting off firecrackers on an airplane?

As then-candidate Obama said at the White House meeting on the financial crisis—”Call me if you need me...”

And by ‘monitoring Delta flight firecracker situation’ he means posturing for adoration on the beach , displaying his glistening ,saggy man boobs.

Maybe he wants to have a beer with the terrorist later and he has to schedule it in advance.

Reuters still reporting firecrackers when everyone else has explained it was explosives.....even the terrorist said he had explosives.

What’s up rooters with this “firecracker situation”? Other reports refer to a “powdery explosive”. So, which is it?

I wonder if it was an M-80, which I think is a quarter stick of dynomite, and would have maimed or killed someone and maybe a hole in the cabin. I would think some might call it a firecracker.

Wonder if this was why Barry was in such a hurry to get Obamacare passed. He knew something like this was coming....

Meanwhile....

Obama believes in redistributing wealth, but his Hawaiian villa is $3,500 per day!

Obama has established a climate of complacency in the war on terror. We don’t call it that anymore, and we don’t call them terrorists. Yet, this man clearly was one. He had Al Qaeda connections, was on the no fly lists, was a muslim, and was flying on an international flight.

Yet, I’m sure that because of Obama’s leadership on this issue, he was able to board a U.S. Flag Carrier with the means and intent of destroying the airliner and all on board.

If we don’t get rid of Obama and others of his ilk, some other Moron like this will succeed where he failed.
