VENICE, La. -- President Barack Obama said Sunday that his administration and law enforcement officials are investigating who is responsible for a bombing attempt in New York City's Times Square on Saturday night.

Obama, visiting here to inspect the oil spill efforts, said that he will "do what's necessary to protect the American people."

The president called New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg from here Sunday afternoon, and said that since Saturday night his "national security team has been taking every step necessary to ensure that our state and local partners have the full support and cooperation of the federal government."

Obama was briefed on the attempted bombing twice during his short trip to Louisiana by his counterterrorism lead John Brennan.

The guy’s done nothing for the people of the United States of America. How’s he going to do THIS?

[RckyRaCoCo]

So he’s going to turn himself in?

[ConservativeStatement]

Did he get Nancy’s permission to speak?

[BookmanTheJanitor]

make the failed bomber live w/ Keith Olbermann. (or is that too cruel?)

[Proud_USA_Republican]

He’s going to send John F’in Kerry to Pak-EE-Stawn to talk them to death.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

What a pant-load. This was obviously not a real bomb.

[rbosque]

The idiot was lucky the bomb didn’t go off.

[llevrok]

Yeah. Like anyone with malice aforethought is shaking in their boots.

[HarryCaul]

Some reports say it was similar to the failed bomb at the Edinburgh airport.

Which would explain the airport alerts today.

Well, if they’re illegal Pakistani terrorists, they will be afforded more rights than an American citizen. /no sarcasm intended

[screaming eagle2]

....and I’m feeling soooo much better.

Eric Holder is on standby, ready to administer Miranda rights, lawyer-up the terrorist, give him a phone call, supply cable TV, set up a conjugal visit or two, arrange a fair trial in Manhattan and, of course, evaluate fitness for a presidential pardon.

Good thing he wasn’t worried about flyover flooding. Keep that perspective Odingo.
