President Obama keeps turning up the internal heat regarding the terrorist attack on Flight 253. In both his public statements and in virtually all statements made by administration officials, the emphasis has been on a "mix of human and systemic failures" that allowed the attack to take place rather than on the Islamic terrorists - oops sorry, "isolated extremist" - who planned and carried out the attack.

This blame-America-first strategy is certainly not new to this president. But this time the Americans he's seeking to blame are under his own command and have been for a full year. So the question is who will be the scapegoat; the administration member thrown under the bus so that President Obama can deny responsibility for the systematic failure and continue to deny that we are a nation at war? Here are some of the possible candidates:

Who’s to blame for calling the flight a “Northwest” flight when Delta absorbed Northwest a while back and the a/c pictured at DTW was clearly labeled “Delta”?

Why is the State Department getting a pass? He had a Passport and a visa! He was on their watch list...

God, that's so simple to answer.

According to Obama, all the worlds problems will be cured if we adopt national health care and he gives a really nice speech.

Iran is our friend now, right?

All the worlds ills, mishaps, hatred and wars are Bush's fault. Therefor, the events surrounding flight 253 are obviously Bush's fault.

Democrats and the MSM are trying to spin this as a CIA failure.

Uh, because it WAS a NWA flight:

Northwest Flight 253

From: Amsterdam-Schiphol, Netherlands (AMS) To: Detroit-Wayne County Int’l, MI (DTW)

I tuned into liberal talk radio to see what they were saying, and you guessed it. It was Bush's fault. It is his security policies, his TSA, and his Homeland Security. Obama is pure as the wind driven snow. If this attack happened Christmas 2012, it would still be Bush's fault to these moonbats.

Is it just me, or does it seem that we know more about the details of the backgrounds of Tiger Wood's mistresses and the recent Nigerian plane bomber than we know about the background of our own President of the United States, Barack Obama?

It would be easier to identify who will be blameless — Obama.

Northwest hasn’t been fully integrated with Delta. Yes, it was clearly a Delta-marked aircraft. And yes, it was a Northwest flight number on which the attempted attack occurred, not a Delta flight number.
