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 cant tell them we suck enough.
I think the bothersome issue is the lingering, persistent doubt about his ultimate loyalties. There really is no doubt about that, is there?

Obama was alerted to Friday's incident between 9 and 9:30 a.m. in Hawaii, which is five hours behind the East Coast.
After being informed by his military aide, the president convened a secure conference call with John O. Brennan, his counterterrorism adviser, and Denis McDonough, chief of staff at the National Security Council. He later received updates from each man, senior officials said.
Plane landed at 1 pm ET or 8 am Honolulu time.
Obama was notified about 60-90 minutes later.
Sheesh!
Read the article. It says that Obama was notified 60-90 minutes after the plane landed.
IMO, the more serious the situation the longer someone needs to keep Obama out of the loop so that he doesn’t pull the plug on appropriate responses.
Many on FR who follow the loon, Ron Paul would think this
as they believe as their cult leader says, leave the Muslims alone.
There are no IslamOfascists, Ron Paul believes America and Israel are causing the problems.
Because he is just a puppet. He isn’t running things. Never was, never will.
If you're trying to equate this with 911 you more nuts than granny's fruit cake.
Obama Derangement Syndrome or Freeper Groupthink. Which is it that's got you?
Did you guys read the article? Do you think that every time some idiot tries something stupid then makes claims that he is Al Queada that the federal system should immediately jump through their butts to relay unconfirmed claims of some bungler? This doesn't look like a sanctioned attack. It looks like someone screaming for attention....a wannabe.
I've read this article. Have you read more than this article?
A foreign national who is on a U.S. government watch list of people with suspected terrorist ties to Al Qaeda, gets on a plane headed to the U.S. and attempts to blow the plane up over U.S. soil.
As I said, the CIC should be informed ASAP whenever (our country is)under attack.
Nah, Obama knows only white female elementary school teachers still celebrate Kwanzaa, and he already has their votes!
6/6/1944 (A. Hitler sits up in bed, stretches, looks at clock) “Ach du lieber, noon alretty?”
I flat out asked the Ombudsman if the Administration contacted them demanding or asking that they “cover” for Obama.
The point is that the left hammered Bush for continuing to read to the children for six minutes after he was informed of the Spetember 11th attacks. This is evidence of indifference.
0bama’s staff sees no problem waiting three hours to tell the president that a self identified Al Queada member attempted to destroy a plane with 300 people on it. The attack happened on Christmas, which many non-Christians believe to be Christianity’s most important day.
This will not be evidence of indifference
First off, based on the article Obama was informed within 90 minutes so your outrage was misplaced from the beginning.
Second, you still haven't said why the president needed to IMMEDIATELY know that a man successfully burned the hell outta his leg in an unsuccessful, bungling attack by a man with unconfirmed claims to AQ.
good read! That 3:00 AM call came and Zer0 was asleep, higher than a kite or visiting Larry Sinclair.
...NORAD reports incoming Zer0 cannot be contacted...
Obama is a traitor and has been groomed as the 1st anti American president. I knew this from day one. Why is this surprising to anyone anymore. He is purposely destroying the country so he can rebuild it in the mold of other Marxist nations.
Every damn thing I brought up is HIS JOB.
While I don’t think he can handle putting sugar on his mini-wheats in the morning without a teleprompter and two helpers, the nations security is his JOB.
You may be content with a President who doesn’t even know what his friggin job is, I’m sure as hell not.
The more it is explained to you the more your roll out the libertarian talking points
As usual we wont do shit about it anyways so whats the point of even getting excited.
