Should have called Cheney first.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Just one of Barry’s cousins with some firecrackers...

[chiefqc]

He is having someone write a strongly worded e-mail in bold letters.

Well that problem is solved, now back to his vacation.

[ColdOne]

Obama has asked his top advisers to remain in a state of heightened vigilance.”

HEIGHTENED VIGILANCE???// What does that mean?

[Brytani]

And this guy thinks he knows better than 70% (or more) of the Doctors in the US.

I had my differences with President Bush when he was in office, but at least I felt safe.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Just keep surfin' at your $4,000 a night resort, Hussein. Worthless pile. In fact, just stay there for 3 more years. Leave America alone.

[Fresh Wind]

No. You’re the one who thinks an attempted terrorist attack isn’t important enough to tell the president.

[Brytani]

If a person is placed under arrest but not read his Miranda rights for 3 hours, their case can be thrown out.

Are we up to impeachable offenses yet?

[Dallas59]

Obammy was checking his “friends” list to make sure the misunderstood man wasn’t on it.

[hole_n_one]

Sleepiness has crept in,.....

I'm gonna use the ol' too much eggnog excuse for at least the next few hours.

[KarinG1]

Obama has told White House officials that all appropriate measures be taken

That are good to know.

I'm very curious as to what Obama was doing on this Christmas day in Hawaii that Secret Service couldn't notify him for 3 hours after this attempted terrorist attack.

What if there had been multiple bombers like with
Sept. 11 and a response by the CinC was required?

Was the President's life at risk by terrorists?

Secret Service relocated President Bush very quickly to Offutt AFB in the first chaotic hours after Sept. 11 ... where EXACTLY was Obama when this was going down?

[Brytani]

OH I don’t know, maybe because he’s the commander and chief and should be informed immediately when there is a terrorist attack on our soil.

I’m pretty sure that’s in How To Be A President 101.

[Eagle Eye]

That is assinine.

Unless you think the President is really the go-to guy for everything.

There is already a contingency plan for this and other than someone being a control freak, none of it requires the president at this point.

[calex59]

I find it interesting that an alleged attempted attack on his plane is considered terrorism, while an Islamofascist attacking and killing several US servicemen at Ft. Hood is not.

Actually I find it much more telling that they passed this off as a firecracker going off when it was first reported and then later changed to a terrorist attack with an attempted bomb detonation. I think they were going to try to cover it up but something happened, someone got wind of it before they could apply all the whitewash and they were forced to admit terrorism.

Did you happen to see where King was being interviewed by CNN and was cut off twice when he tried to name the terrorist, this was early on? CNN said that they didn't have a credible source, as if a member of the house of representatives wasn't credible.

[Brytani]

OMG!!! They did remove it and NO I did not cache it.....

I hope someone else still has it up and can save it...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

That photo of Bush still sends chills up my spine. I remember seeing the anger in his eyes. He looked livid.....as was I.

[Eagle Eye]

LOL...one other voice of reason on this thread!

ODS is just as strong as BDS.

[massmike]

Obama; who is in Hawaii celebrating whatever he celebrates on December 25, was NOT TOLD ABOUT TODAYS FAILED AL QUADA TERRORIST ATTACK FOR 3 HOURS.

Honestly...I think the less Obama knows about what's going on,the better-off we all are.....
