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.

- Why didn't they notify bammy for 3 hours?
- Why didn't this guy blow up the plane over open water instead of descent to land phase
- Why did he not do this in the bathroom where he wouldn't get caught and get is ass kicked?
- How did he get on the plane in the first place being on the NoFly
It's a test run or a generated diversionary event. Remember, these commie bastards just passed more outrageous legislation in the past 24 hours than we have seen in 100 years. There are a lot of very mad people right now and it's in the administrations best interest to focus the public on something else right now.
Am I turning psycho conspiracy nut? It seems like this muzzie got way too far and did it way too easily. Even an idiot terrorist would have been smart enough to go into the bathroom and set the thing off.
Something smells
No problemo.
Do have a problem with those that can’t read and then defend their mistakes.
My whole point is what does telling him immediately accomplish?
Or is it symbolism that matters to these people?
Actually I think that their hatred of Obama overshadows their reason and they are looking for reasons, even silly reasons to fault him.
Most of the Europe > US transatlantic flights are in. Any other reports?
My theory is that Obama was playing golf and nobody on his staff wanted to disturb him.
Or maybe he just doesn’t care. Remember his weird reaction to the Ft. Hood shootings where he gave a call out to some American Indians before he made some remarks about the events Ft. Hood. Barry is just a weird dude.
More like Blind as a Bat.
Unlike TWA 800, this time there were too many survivors to paper over the truth. Had the attack been successful, we would be hearing about NTSB investigators converging on the area to look into the tragic Christmas plane crash, and how terrorism was not suspected.
The answer is to quit picking people up in places where the enemy can get on a plane and quit flying them to our country. Has nothing to do with whether or not obama was told immediately or 3 hours after it happened.
Page already gone when I clicked.
Fewer flights on Christmas Day, most people travel on Dec. 23 or 24.
Lol, those photographs are pretty rough on Obama. Are they all available in one place somewhere?
There are many areas of defense or attack that only the President can command.
We are at war and not up to 5th string people to get in the middle.
This POS President doesn’t want to do his job and his chosen people feel that can’t tell him that was an attempted attack.
Duh? How freakin brilliant.
Wouldn’t the Secret Service know at the very latest, within minutes of an attempted terrorist attack.
The FBI MET THE PLANE. And the passengers were detained for several HOURS.
Rich Griffith, a passenger from Pontiac, said he was seated too far in the back to see what had happened. But he said he didn’t mind being detained on the plane for several hours. “It’s frustrating if you don’t want to keep your country safe,” he said. “We can’t have what’s going on everywhere else happening here.”
J.P. Karas, 55, of Wyandotte, Mich., said he was driving down a road near the airport and saw a Delta jet at the end of the runway, surrounded by police cars, an ambulance, a bus and some TV trucks.
So where was Obama? Sleeping? When did the Secret Service know? Was Obama hung over? Where was he for 3 hours? These people are THE most incompetant group of posers in the white house in our history.
O had to have been sleeping or maybe partying. And he obviously doesn’t watch the news, only when it’s the Morning Joe show or Chris Matthews.
Save them and pass them around!
Sure he’s a puppet, BUT WHERE WAS HE!!!! The potus goes missing for 3 hours during a terrorist attack?
That’s a big deal and needs to be explained.
Exactly. There’s nothing he needs to do for now other than monitor the situation.
Despite rantings by conspiracy theorists, the evidence that 800 was a mechanical failure is beyond solid. There are, IIRC, two or three different ways that a bomb or missile would require breaking the laws of physics.
By not telling him for 3 HOURS, while the FBI had the passengers detained for hours, it makes it look like he was UNAVAILABLE.
WHERE WAS O during the terrorist attack? Where was he? What was he doing that he couldn’t be interrupted? A massage, at 7 in the morning? Where was he and where was his Secret Service?
Something fishy is going on that they can’t get a hold of the potus for 3 hours during a terrorist attack.
