White House: Failed plane attack an attempted act of terrorism(Obama told 3 HOURS AFTER PLANE LANDS)
Washington Post ^ | December 25, 2009 | Scott Butterworth and Spencer S. Hsu

Posted on 12/25/2009 6:01:47 PM PST by Brytani

A White House official said the incident was an attempted act of terrorism. The FBI is investigating and President Obama, celebrating Christmas in Hawaii, was told of the incident about three hours after the plane landed, officials said.

Obama has told White House officials that all appropriate measures be taken to increase security for air travel, a spokesman said. Nevertheless, officials said, they are not prepared to raise the terrorism alert level, currently at orange -- or the second-highest of five levels -- for domestic and international air travel.

Obama can’t be bothered, he’s learning the hula.

So the guy tried to blow up a plane. Let’s find a way to question him thoroughly for a few days.. and then just shoot him. Would be counter productive to house this guy at Gitmo or somewhere. Then argue over what to do with him, and to give him a trial. He’s clearly guilty. Just be done with the bum.

That’s the attack he didn’t acknowledge for FOUR DAYS...unlike the Dr. Tiller-abortionist murder,which he couldn’t condemn fast enough!

>>The administration saw the reaction that their explanation of Fort Hood got. They can’t afford to look like apologists a second time in less than two months.

Worth saying again. I like that analysis.

Be afraid Americans, be very afraid, this POTUS completely denied that the Ft. Hood massacre was a planned, calculated terrorist act, and is treating the murderer of American military innocents as a criminal or insane offense. He is vacationing in Hawaii and was not told for three hours of this NWA airborne incident of terror (Did he request he not be informed of this type of incident while he was out playing, or did his incompetent staff forget to tell him. Either way he is not protecting us or the country). The word is out around the world, Obama’s America is now open season for all of our terrorist attackers. God help and protect us from our own leaders. This man Obama should no more be POTUS then I should be eating swiss cheese on the moon. How long will you standby, Americans and let this incompetent POTUS bring America down??? Call your Democrat office holders and tell them you want Obama to resign or be impeached!!!!

Maybe you want to explain your defense of Obama when you said “what was he supposed to do” in reference to his not being told for 3 hours.

“What’s stunning is that the White House would admit this was a terrorist attack”

So what do they expect to happen next? And is that why they are in Hawaii?

I just saw on CNN that their are 3000 flights in the air at this time, seems like it would be a huge concern to Bambi.I can’t believe I’m watching CNN and actually impressed by their work while Fox runs reruns.

I’m curious what he was suppose to do as well? If he had been told immediately.... what was he suppose to do? Look... I think he’s a lousy president too... but I’m not sure he needs to be told immediately as a matter of national security if some wacko solo tries to blow up a plane.
