Obama Ends Trip Early to Address Security Concerns
WJLA-TV 7 ^ | Sunday, January 3, 2010

Posted on 01/03/2010 5:36:17 PM PST by kristinn

President Obama returns to the White House Sunday night amid new questions about the effectiveness of our fight against terrorism.

The failed terror attempt on a flight to Detroit raised new concerns about the response to the threat. When the President leaves the island paradise of Hawaii, he'll come back to questions about who is to blame for the terrorist near miss on an airliner in Detriot and even more questions about what's being done now to keep the nation safe.

The Christmas Day terror attempt is bringing flashbacks to post 9/11 frustration: warning signs existed, but weren't pieced together.

SNIP

According to Politico, starting at midnight there will be a new normal for international passengers traveling into the US. All passengers will received tightened random screening and 100 percent of passengers from 14 terrorism-prone countries will be patted down and have their carry-on items searched.

President Obama is cutting his vacation short and will return to Washington Monday, a day earlier than planned. First on his list will be addressing the series of new questions about national security.

Too bad he doesn’t have to fly commercial and go through security.

Can you imagine Michelle enduring a patdown?

Not an "attempt". It was an ATTACK.

Furthermore, Obama and Brennan had eight weeks notice in advance.

the man cares nothing about security, his actions has shown he is a muslim and has more care and love for Islam than this country.
no church, no Christmas presents swapped in the family, no nativity scene nearly not shown in the white house.
no nothing what a Christian would do.

He can’t even call it islamic terrorism for crying out loud

Don’t his kids go back to school tomorrow? Or weren’t they planning on returning together?

Regardless, what a *sacrifice* to come back a whole day early. Who cares??

Returning Monday is early? Shouldn’t he be returning Sunday so he can show up for work early Monday morning?

B.S. on the early end. What? He’s leaving a few hours earlier so he sleeps on the plane instead of on the island. Nice try media.

Sinatra would probably hate the tag but with some imagination it could apply.

How dare you sir, impugning the character of the great thespian “Rowdy” Roddy Piper by stealing that great line and imparting it to the Resident.

I demand satisfaction! /jk

Ah, but the latte-sipping intellectuals over at the New Yorker or New Republic would have us believing he's just being "cool". Waiting a week to react, not wearing a tie and all that. As opposed to Bush or Chee-Nee, or, horror of horrors, John Bolton...why, he would have ordered missiles into Yemen, or other such overreactions....oh, wait....

Bunch of stinkin' phonies.
