Obama handles Northwest Airlines terror incident differently than Ft. Hood
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/26/09 | Byron York

The Obama White House has been aggressive in its press outreach regarding the Northwest Airlines terrorist incident. Some of the earliest stories on accused terrorist Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab's attempt to set off an explosive device on board Northwest Flight 253 were sourced to the White House, and White House officials were quick to label the incident an "attempted act of terrorism." The White House wants the public to know that President Obama, on vacation at a luxurious oceanfront home in Hawaii, has received conference call updates and is keeping close tabs on the situation.

There have been more acts of domestic terrorism on US soil in the single year since Obama became pResident than there were under President George W Bush’s entire two-term Presidency.

Gotta wonder why that is.

Very noticeable yesterday. Lots of information came out fast. He was even arraigned in his hospital bed. No case can be made now its just the way government is structured to work when we sat around wondering what was happening with Hasan and others

Obama supports terrorists. All terrorists.

Obama prays for allah to protect all terrorists.

Obama is a terrorist supporter (and not a natural citizen).

To continue the coverup of the acceleration of
terrorist attacks on America, the White House
has directed its controlled national media
to henceforth use the word “scare” and NOT “attack”.

This guy was arrested.

What is not happening: Interrogation, water-boarding, round up of all his support team, and complete destruction of the enemy.

What is happening: His support team has escaped to plan more attacks and kill more Americans. He is awaiting trial and after serving good time, will be set free at some point because he didn't kill anyone.

The incompetence of Barack Hussein Obama and his Black Muslim Presidency:

1. Obama’s FBI did not alert the ARMY that Maj Nidal Hassan was a Muslim Extremist.

2. Obama’s State Dept did nothing to revoke Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab’s VISA after Abdul’s father told the US Embassy that his son was a MUSLIM Extremist.

Now this same incompetent Black Muslim Presidency want to manage our HEALTHCARE!!!!!!!!!!!

The only reason we know about this is because the attempt failed and the passengers and crew survived.

If he had succeeded in blowing up the plane, then the FBI would have declared it a fuel tank malfunction.

Nothing to see here folks, just a mechanical problem. Move along now...

I’m afraid your right on this. Just another poorly maintained NWA (Delta) Jet. It was flying way past is life scheduled life. These dam airlines and their old jets.

I've been thinking the very same thing. Thanks for expressing it!

I've been very uneasy over the sudden rush to call this terrorism (although I do believe it was).
