Somebody is lying and Obama has a history of it.
The British MI5 says that in 2008 it forwarded a dosier on Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to American Intelligence. Since it is hard to believe Obama about anything, it’s likely the underwear bombers was known to us long before he tried to attack an American airplane.
A UK spokesman has flatly stated Abdulmutallab was among a group of people living in Britain during 2008 with connections to radical Muslim clerics. The source insisted this information was passed along to Washington in 2008.
In a dubious kneejerk reaction fitting the Obama Administration’s consistent subsurface antipathy for Britain, the White House immediately responded by insisting “no such intelligence information was passed by Britain before the attempted Christmas Day attacks.”
Since it seems whenever anything unpleasant or embarrassing happens and the finger of blame should rightfully be pointed at Barack Obama he starts his Bart Simpson “Not me man” act. The first thing he and his Chicago gangsters do is lie about whatever the issues are.
The “ party crashers” episode at the White House is a case in point. The immediate response to the startling news that uninvited guests had made their way into a White House dinner party was “The president was never in any danger because the intruders were never anywhere near him.” The event’s pictures soon proved that was a lie. Next we heard “Neither of them ever had their hands on the president”; another lie.
His lies about his connections to ACORN provide another case of Obama’s “Lie first” approach to giving us “the most transparent administration in history.”
He first claimed he was never connected to ACORN in anyway, but when an independent investigation proved his website said otherwise Obama pulled the page bragging about his ACORN roots.

The only question one needs to ask is why would MI5 lie?
How would the president personally know this? He would have gotten that info in a brief. I doubt MI5 reported to him personally. Either MI5 is trying to save face, or whoever got the report is lying. Maybe someone dislikes Obama so much, that they would set him up and want to embarass him?
Anybody that would believe Barry would, well, vote for him............
Dear stuartcr,
So Hussein is an innocent, unspoiled flower in all of this? Some underling is lying, trying to make him look bad? Oh please!
You know Obama is going to say "2008, I wasn't in office. The last guy never briefed me on that." Let's admit it, America elected a no count liar in 2008.
Members of the Bush Administration (i.e. Cheney et al) would know if MI5 told the U.S. in 2008 (since that was before Bama time)...
I do not believe I said that, I merely looked at this instance differently than you.
Barry’s doing a nice job by himself.
Still a big enough red flag to be scrutinizing him.
Following the terrorist attack here in TX, the Brits released info that the Brits tipped BO off to the terrorist attack that was planned for NY. BO had apparently cut ties with the Brits over the release of the Lockerby bomber. BO had no intention of stopping the attack on NY, and the Brits caught him at it.
Nobody bothered to pay attention to the story because surprise! surprise! we had the leaking of the GW e-mails. Nothing like a scandal to draw attention away from another scandal until you can create a defense.
When you create a defense for the court of public opinion, you target the nuttiest of the nuts. One of the nuttiest of the nuts is Ed Schultz. He's one step from squirrel turds.
Following the gate crasher story, ES said it was a bunch of Bush holdovers (read right wing extremist) wishing BO harm.
So we can call this the Ed Schultz defense.
