The F’in press is totally covering for him. What about “isolated extremist”? how could he be dumb enough to have said that?
+++++++++++++++++

‘all 57 states.’

The stinkin’ RAT press also told us that Bush was dumb and John Kerry was intelligent.

Somebody’s gonna get yelled at! This is going to add at least nine strokes to the Bammer’s score.

The report that really will get his (and my) attention is the next Rasmussen poll(s).

Certainly this has to be Bush’s fault somehow. It has to be, I mean, Obama has inherited all of the existing problems and not one of them could be his or his administration’s fault (sarcasism.) Now he acts like heads need to roll, perhaps voters need to remember that in Nov 2010 and Nov 2012.

Another note on Janet you may not be aware of. She was appointed to be US Attorney in Phoenix by her fellow lesbo Hillary. That’s how she got elected governor. Remember when klintoon fired all the US attorneys? Janet was one of the replacements.
And if you remember, Bush got blasted for firing just 9 Attorneys!!

“....Administration officials said the system to protect the nation’s skies from terrorists was deeply flawed and, even then, the government failed to follow its own directives....”


Translation: Blame the Bush Administration.

But the final phrase is the money phrase here (” failed to follow its own directives”)—because it allows them to later concede that their own embassy person did not process this guy correctly and thus stop him from flying to the US.

While I have no idea why, I can tell you that the “system” only failed here because someone intentionally did not move this guy’s status on a terrorist watch list into the US Visit system.

Somebody did this—either out of carelessnesss, PC, or they were bribed. There’s nothing systemic here. Plenty of people were stopped from flying in under Bush and precisely because the “system” worked.

He needs to be briefed; he has to have reports prepared, a task force instituted, all that government krap to make it look like he is a leader.

Bull! We can all tell him in short sentences just what went wrong, including but not limited to, his failure to keep apprised of serious issues and to lead, instead of playing golf or vacationing on Martha's Vineyard. If he actually did the job, instead of delegating to others, we might not be in the fix we're in.

Not only is Obama a poor leader; his incompetence and lackadaisical attitude are downright dangerous.

Obama is a middle aged college radical. He doesn’t have a clue about anything. If he didn’t delegate, we might already be in WW3.

How can you say it is “unanswered”? As we sit at our computers, armies of marxist lawyers are flying in to defend the “alleged” bomber Abdulmutallab. That is our “stern” answer.

“Bush’s fault”
++++++++++++

http://spectator.org/archives/2009/12/31/the-politics-of-incompetence
“as it became clear internally that the Administration had suffered perhaps its most embarrassing failure in the area of national security, senior Obama White House aides, including chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod and new White House counsel Robert Bauer, ordered staff to begin researching similar breakdowns — if any — from the Bush Administration.”

Really? This is their response? Gone are the days of ‘the buck stops here.’ We are in the days of ‘pass the buck’ - blame Bush 24x7.

Does anyone, even liberals, believe these imbecilic, sophomoric morons?

What did he know and when did he know it? Did the administration fail to connect the dots? This is the same type of intelligence briefing and threat assessment that the press hung around GW Bush's neck after 9/11. Any bets on how unfavorable they will be towards Obummer?

Top down sets the tone. Bush noted continuously that we were at war with terror and terrorists. Bammy’s admin says we’re not at war and that these are manmade disasters, and that we’re definitely not picking on Muslims, wonderful people that they are (sarcasm added.)

We were not attacked on US soil after the 9/11 series of attacks, precisely because Bush and team WERE HARSH and called a spade a spade, and we’ve been attacked 3+ times on US soil in 2009 precisely because that hasn’t happened under this joker admin.

Of course the RAT press, and the RATS themselves opposed every last move by the Bush admin (like wiretapping of suspected terrorist conversations originating overseas) even though those moves succeeded. But now that they’re in charge, we have to endure their assanine critique of the Bush admin of the very things that they drove (like releasing all the poor people who’d been maltreated and undoing Guantanamo and severe limits on our troops, etc.)

Blaming Bush = they think we’re insane, or dumb as rocks and have no memory.

Well consider it semantics, and for the sake of clarity to the broader audience...(I feel your pain...)
