First she said "the system worked". Now, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano admits the system failed miserably, but repeatedly points out it was a system put in place while George W. Bush was President. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs made similar statements...

Ahem, if the system was so terrible (maybe it is, maybe it isn't) what has she been doing for the last year+ ??? Sorry obambi and crew, you've been spending our money and taking away our liberties for over a year now. You don't get to blame former President Bush any more. All the current failures of the Federal government are on you and yours. All the (many) coming failures are on you too.

Items Obama administration blames Bush:

1) BCS mess
2) the cold snap in Copenhagen Dec 2009
3) Breakup of the Beatles
4) Michael Moore’s latest movie box office bomb
5) any business that makes a profit without SEUI input
6) Sarah Palin’s book selling more than Obama
7) Glenn Beck’s success on FOX
8) record firearm sales
9) too many Christmas decorations leftover in the White House from GW’s tenure
10) a US military that really does not respect Barrak Obama

Yes, I miss him. I missed him beginning January 20, 2009 at noon.

The Thug in Chief isn’t fit to hold Bush’s jock.

They were for it, before they changed it and decided to be against it, which really meant they liked it, but somehow disagreed with it anyhow, although they supported it, until they knew what it really meant, at which point they weren't sure...........

Ask this administration their stance on any issue requiring them to take a position on **anything** and you get answers like that: War on terror/terrorism, nuclear Iran, abortion, health care, taxes....................

This administration is sort of like Pat from Snl. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRY_t6GEOB4 You just don't know where they stand, nor do they ever really tell you, even when they say “let me make this real clear,” we won't have tax paid for abortions as part of health care.

I was at a townhall and the lib elected official tried to blame the previous administration, he was booed big time. People are tired of the blame game.

Sorry Janett, you have been in office 1 year now..................Time to own up. You do not know what you are doing! If you didn’t like the “system” you should have changed it by now. OMG you all ran on that hope and “change” stuff.

I blame “The American People” for ELECTING an obviously incompetent, anti-American moron to this country’s presidency.

[Arthur McGowan]

I understand this “executive branch” and “Constitution” thing were put in place in 1789. Soetoro inherited a system that’s 220 years old. No wonder his administration is a mess.

[Red6]

There have been dozens of plots.

Most we stop, in-spite of government red tape, bureaucracy, political correctness, self imposed limits/restrictions, etc.

Our security apparatus does extraordinarily well given the constraints it works under.

[DeaconRed]

Why hell yes, why didn't I think of this.
BUSH DID IT. . . . .

[tiredoflaundry]

The Obama Administration has had sufficient time to review existing Bush policies and amend them as necessary. This failure lies SQUARELY on Obama’s lap.

BINGO

[Red6]

bingo

I blame rino’s. “The American People” were reacting to their bloated ways as well. They had a majority, and acted like democrats. If I hear McCain ‘reaching across the aisle’ one more time, I hope he stays there. Republicans could have stepped up to the plate and cut government, but no, they expanded and acted like the elites they chum around with at the ‘right’ cocktail parties. That’s the crutch of it. Americans want less control. The rino’s blew it and created more control. What options were there? McCain? (I voted for Palin), or Obama. McCain would have rolled over for deathcare, cap and tax, illegal immigration. Now, some of them are pretending to be conservative. Beware of them more so than democrats.

[CedarDave]

Peter Johnson Jr. nailed Napolitano on F&F this morning. Asked her whether she had reviewed Bush policies on this and of course she answered “yes.” Then it’s her problem and not to be blamed on Bush. Game, set, match.

[Arthur McGowan]

The system IS working: No Constitution-quoting extremist Christians have blown up a SINGLE airliner since the Soetoro Administration took over.

[Renderofveils]

After all, she did say that the Christian right posed a greater threat than Muslim terrorist.

She's correct. The Christian right sees her as a threat to the country. Muslims see her as an absentee landlord. They'll destroy every thing they can and support the politicians that keep her in power. (See: Palestinian pro-Zero call centers during the election.)

[Soul Seeker]

One thing I’m pretty certain of is that if people are honest they’ll admit they would rather have Bush in charge when dealing with terrorists.

Time the Obama administration grew the Hell up and accepted they are responsible for these current failures.

Terrorists do not respect this administration or the American people since they elected these children. The result is what we see now.

[McLynnan]

Sounds like they are admitting to another failed campaign promise. Didn’t we hear “change, change, change” during the campaign? Did they change anything? Nooooooooooo........

[jivin gene]

AMEN!!!!!!!!!
