President Obama finally made a public statement about the terrorist attack on Flight 253 that occurred on Christmas Day. It was not remarkable in its content including statements such as "This was a serious reminder of the dangers that we face and the nature of those who threaten our homeland" and "We will not rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable". What was interesting was the timing of the statement coming three days after the actual event and only after much criticism of the president's silence on the matter. Perhaps most interesting of all was the way some in the liberal media combined objective news reporting with custom made excuses for Mr. Obama's latest misstep.

That is all the media does these days is cover up for Obama.
Media makes me sick. Notice how we have no pics of O at the beach at all. MSN knows it won’t look good when so many are out of work and can’t even think of a vacation. Why are we paying for his “friends” to go to Hawaii??? Why no mention of this by media. I am so sickened by the double standard. How many people did he take with him. Valarie Jarrett is there too!!
Lapdogs.
Remember what happened to the press in the Bolshevik Revolution.
I wonder if they will go willingly, like the pathetic idiots they are.
The media allowed him to stay in the race for president.
The rev. Wright stuff would have railroaded any other candidate but the media came to his defense and allowed him to stay in the race.
I read a lot of ignorant people say the man is toast and won’t be re-elected. I cannot be confident of that because of the MEDIA.
This FIX was in long before he became President. They didn’t do ANY “fact finding” during his campaign. We STILL have no birth certificate, among other things.
President Bush speech a few hours after 9/11.....Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts.
The victims were in airplanes or in their offices — secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Friends and neighbors.
Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.
The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.
These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.
Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.
Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government’s emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it’s prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C., to help with local rescue efforts.
Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.
The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow.
Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.
The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I’ve directed the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.
I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.
America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.
Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me.”
This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.
None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.
Thank you. Good night and God bless America.
And dont expect anything less....they have nearly everything vested in failBarry.
I remember that day. Within literally MINUTES the media was all about "Where's President Bush?"
Meanwhile 0bama gets a 3 day pass, and when he speaks he looks as if he literally rolled out of bed. Yea, that's really going to strike fear into the hearts of terrorists! They're all shaking in their boots now!
so sad to hear about your mom -— those were unspeakably horrible events, and now we are stuck with a Pres. who doesn’t know **** about anything that matters.
And nary a peep about his $4,000 a day rented digs. The media used to go ape$hit about George H. W. Bush's high-powered ocean speedboat,and even George W. Bush making an occasional trip to his modest ranch home, or Reagan visiting his California ranch. All that was "evidence" of those guys being "out of touch" with the average citizen. But when Obama blows $4,000 a day on a lush tropical mansion, all we hear about is how he's taking a "much-deserved" vacation to his "birthplace". When he was campaigning, Oscumbucket used to brag about the South Side of Chicago being his "home". What a stinking, rotten liar.
Whatever the msm and their MESS-iah is selling, we’re not buying.
Obambi instituted new rules, they last two days before they rescinded as being ludicrous and unworkable.
Thank you for that. How I miss George Bush. When he was in office I felt like someone had our backs. Now I think we are all on our own. Notice the difference in that speech and what we are presented with now.
you are so welcome and yes President Bush showed us he loved us. hurry 2012
yes and thank you!
