They are to busy sending me reams of mail to send more contributions.

A lot of trees are going into the recycling bin here.

I believe they are referring to the Tuesday BEFORE Christmas Day (Friday)

"The president was told during a private briefing on Tuesday morning while vacationing here in Hawaii"

Can't be last week, because he stayed in D.C. until Christmas Eve for the Senate health care bill vote.

Obama is a shill, a dumbass, idealistic fool.

No racism here, just plain old scorn and disdain.

“No way to blame this on Bush-Cheney-Halliburton.”

Ha! That is where you are wrong. The zero has already blamed Bush.

This might explain this little "olive branch" that the Obama administration threw out to the CIA today.

White House aims to calm intelligence agencies': report

Janet would be toast already if that plane had gone down.

I doubt it.

The media would have just labeled it "an accident" or "mechanical problems," and no one would have known about the terrorist plot (if all on board had been killed).

Thanks to that brave guy who tackled the perpetrator, 300 people are still alive today, and we have hard EVIDENCE that it was a terrorist act (although the Obama administration is loathe to call it one).

I realize she is stupid but I think she was told to go with this story, from Hawaii.......then it didn't work. You are so right, she is now emailing her CV with her best qualification being the "canary in the mine" experience. Dammit, Janet, you screwed us!

Bad news, the terrorists smell blood big time because of this creep in the WH.

Yeah, you’re right, they’d be withholding news of the chemical tests proving an explosive was used.

And that one of the passengers was on the watch list and his father had told the CIA he was fanatic.

But eventually the truth would have been leaked. And then finally Janet would have left for personal reasons.

Meanwhile, Christmas and the end of Obama’s first year would have been under a cloud; and people would have been upset and suspicious that he and his corrupt administration were withholding info and failing to do their primary duty to protect us.

An oxymoron.

New Obama sitcom: “Flight 253, where are you?” Starring goofy feds and those madcap bombers. They’re a laugh a minute.

Problem is, the administration really does not care if 300 Americans get blown up and it conveys.

Sadly there is something to that statement if the best Chuckie Schumer can do is tout his death penalty law. Whoop-te-do, Chuckie, you will punish the perp AFTER he kills people (and delivers a death blow to our economy). Small problem ... the perp is willing - and plans - to die in the process. There goes your deterrent effect.

It is WAR, you RAT idiots, not a law and order episode.

He sure doesn’t look like someone I’d want covering my behind in a fight, does he? Quite the wimp.

I’m in California. It doesn’t matter what I call myself.

I’ve always liked the two party system, however. We make our coalitions before the elections, instead of after like in Europe.

That’s more honest. People see who is willing to deal with whom in order to get a majority vote to organize the House and Senate before they decide who they are going to vote for.

The Dems are willing to deal with the commies who want to destroy the country.

The question is if the conservatives will be willing to deal with the Reps who are often naive and stupid but don’t in their heart of hearts want the country to fail.

The commies got to the point where they were leading the Democrat party. Maybe if we could get to the point where conservatives were calling the shots in the Republican party, then things would go better.

But there aren’t enough conservatives who are willing to grind away at party politics and get to the point of running things. Conservatives go about their lives and then bitch and moan when standard issue Republicans are the ones sending out the mailers asking for contributions.

You need the long term planning and mind numbing dedication and year after year effort of the commies if you are going to defeat their take over of this country.

It's about connecting the dots ... CIA, FBI, and other relevant agencies can't get it together ... thus a Nigerian Islamic terrorist can essentially bypass every red flag warning and come within a hairs breath of blowing a U.S. commercial airline out of the air. Missteps such as this led to 9-11 ... the FBI was warned about middle eastern student pilots at U.S. flight training schools showing a strange indifference to landing instructions ... interested only in managing the aircraft (simulator) in the air. We all know how that turned out ...

They can’t very well blame Bush for doing what they “themselves are wanting to do now can they?”

You’re right about that, and I would love to watch it blow up in their faces.

But from the looks of it they’re going to try anyway. I don’t believe the comments about the terrorist being released from Gitmo during the Bush admin was just FYI.
