When the surf's up the POTUS can't be bothered with such things as national security.

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.

Some Presidents are just better at this than others.
Who Would DARE to wake the ONE!, already known for screaming and cussing his lessers out??
When the story of this White House finally gets written, it’ll make the Clinton’s look like virgins, in comparison.
Obviously your post was to someone else.
If we had just passed healthcare reform this wouldn’t have happened.
Expect the Obama administration to claim credit for the "failed" attack.
Not told for 3 hrs.
Obama and his Marxist Adm. can’t even say, War on Terror.
Their motto, What isn’t named, does not exist.
The Left Wing, Terrorist don’t exists
the Libertarians, Leave them alone.
Work to get Conservative Republicans in Congress in 2010
and for President 2012.
They know who the enemy is (IslamOfascists) and that we must win.
Per Foxnews:
"White House official says this was attempted act of terrorism".
But, don't call the Ft. Hood act of terrorism an "act of terrorism". Apparently, the White House feels strongly, both ways! /s
While “thousands of Americans are dying on the streets for lack of health insurance” the suspect was being treated at a local hospital for burns he suffered while igniting the device. Must have a cadillac policy!
Storing Bombs Inside Bodies
Security officials are concerned over a tactic newly employed by al Qaeda. Sheila MacVicar reports suicide bombers are now storing explosives inside their bodies in order to avoid detection.
???reason his pants were on fire???
I stand corrected. Sleepiness has crept in, I guess. It's still pretty ironic that he calls this terrorism while Ft. Hood was not.
Good grief, President Bush kept himself calm while they got the arrangements made, that's a little different from not even telling the 'won' for three hours.
Then he'd be cool with you?
Be real. Would you feel better if he gave a speech? Of if he put on a suit and tie? IMO the further away he stays from the action the better.
Let law enforcement officials do their jobs.
Today, I had no intention of being outraged....
I tried but hubby had to work today - sigh, then the Pope was attacked and now this....
I did go to Midnight Mass, which was wonderful.
I’ll “celebrate” Christmas on Jan 8, when my sister comes down to visit for a week.
Thanks for posting. BTTT!
HELLO!!!! Did I say anything about not telling him? HELLO!!!
I second that emotion. Great post, and yeah, of course this pisses me off.
Can’t he just eat his waffle?
When the surf's up the POTUS can't be bothered with such things as national security.
Don’t forget the military recruiter that was killed this past year as well. It was somewhere down south, I am thinking Arkansas, but am not quite sure. That would make 3 terrorist attacks.
At least if he immersed himself in it I could make him a target.
Aww lets face it, Barry is in for a public asswhoopin.
And he deserves it all
