A few months later, they worried about veterans coming home. Makes sense to me/s

It was nice of them to warn the public.

If this is true, the blatant disregard for public safety was astounding.

The real terrorist was taking the oath.

Why interfere with the greatest force for the destruction of the USA ever?

I’ve said it before.

Not only does Obama hate conservatives, he hates his own supporters.

traveling from Somalia to set off explosives as Obama took the oath of office

Oh who believes this stuff? Looks more like a pathetic move to scare up some sympathy for the One. Who needs to travel *from* Somalia anyway? Not like there's any shortage already in country. See Lewistan Maine.

I think he truly has a hatred for what he perceives this nation to have been and still be.

In his quest to make it better, he’s going to destroy it.

Woe unto anyone who gets in his way, friend or foe.

He’s not above using anyone to prop himself up, so I can see why you said what you did.

I agree. I think on the ‘inside’ they were more concerned with the reaction of US citizens. However wrongly so.

Well it may be trumped up, for that purpose, but it really does beg the question why Mr. Brave Heart would expose his wife and daughters to a very iffy situation.

It’s one thing to be brave. It’s another to be brave and reckless with your family’s safety.

Thinking people will consider this a transparent paradox.

If it’s a ploy it stinks. If it’s true it stinks. Dumb move...

“I call it BS, its just a MSM diversion.”

Agreed. Poll numbers tanking. It’s like a global warming story, “fears” “worried”.

Big Media throwing up their usual cover.

worked around the clock trying to figure out whether the threat was real and what, if anything, should be done

That would be a tough decision - the "what, if anything" part.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Shamelessly going for a sympathy bump in the polls.

I was under Bush's watch. The adults were in charge then.

Monday was a media day in a crypt, everything dead, tuesday offers nothing “bleeding” so its time to re-write history and hope the serfs fall for it.

The incoming administration took the threat so seriously, the New York Times reported, that contingency plans were drawn up in case the incoming government and president were killed.

I thought we always had contingency plans drawn up in case a President were killed.

Talk about drama queens.

“Spectacular”

Doesn't seem that “Spectacular” to me. Sounds like your normal everday theat the Bush/Cheney/... foiled.
