My only point is do you remember GWB getting this story or this treatment while he was on vacation?

I wonder if the reports are still 3 hours behind what we’re getting through the media?

The President was notified of the incident this morning between 9:00 and 9:30 Hawaii time

Good thing they waited several hours before waking him or it might have thrown off his golf game. Perhaps his staff can tweet his caddy on the 6th and 15th holes if anything of importance develops.

The headline makes it sound like Obama was an accomplice in the attempted man caused disaster attempt by saying he was monitoring the attempt.

I can't imagine the feeling in the President's heart that day...He left the school scene with poise and I'm sure a spinning brain.

He did everything right FOR US!! God Bless him and may History someday get it right.

No attack for 7 years and now 2 attacks in 2 months...And this President says....Don't try to reach conclusions...He indeed lives in his virtual world.

"which is described as a terror attempt"

How else would you describe a man on an airplane attempting to light a bomb which is strapped to his leg?

The constant flow of reassurances from the administration regarding the president’s ‘close monitoring of the situation’ only reinforces the impression that he could care less.

Why tell BO at all? It’s like taking a swipe at mosquitos to him. Bothersome, but not something to be “alarmed” about.

How long before Obama directs his racist Attorney General to file charges of racism and hate crimes against the passengers and crew who tried to subdue the muslim terrorist and save innocent lives?

I’ve read elsewhere that the Kenyan usually doesn’t get his daily briefings until 9 or 10ish every day.

It’s all about HIM until he’s damn good and ready to deal with the day.
