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.

Should have called Cheney first.
Just one of Barry’s cousins with some firecrackers...
He is having someone write a strongly worded e-mail in bold letters.
Well that problem is solved, now back to his vacation.
Obama has asked his top advisers to remain in a state of heightened vigilance.”
HEIGHTENED VIGILANCE???// What does that mean?
And this guy thinks he knows better than 70% (or more) of the Doctors in the US.
I had my differences with President Bush when he was in office, but at least I felt safe.
No. You’re the one who thinks an attempted terrorist attack isn’t important enough to tell the president.
If a person is placed under arrest but not read his Miranda rights for 3 hours, their case can be thrown out.
Are we up to impeachable offenses yet?
Obammy was checking his “friends” list to make sure the misunderstood man wasn’t on it.
I'm gonna use the ol' too much eggnog excuse for at least the next few hours.
That are good to know.
I'm very curious as to what Obama was doing on this Christmas day in Hawaii that Secret Service couldn't notify him for 3 hours after this attempted terrorist attack.
Was the President's life at risk by terrorists?

OH I don’t know, maybe because he’s the commander and chief and should be informed immediately when there is a terrorist attack on our soil.
I’m pretty sure that’s in How To Be A President 101.
That is assinine.
Unless you think the President is really the go-to guy for everything.
There is already a contingency plan for this and other than someone being a control freak, none of it requires the president at this point.
Actually I find it much more telling that they passed this off as a firecracker going off when it was first reported and then later changed to a terrorist attack with an attempted bomb detonation. I think they were going to try to cover it up but something happened, someone got wind of it before they could apply all the whitewash and they were forced to admit terrorism.
Did you happen to see where King was being interviewed by CNN and was cut off twice when he tried to name the terrorist, this was early on? CNN said that they didn't have a credible source, as if a member of the house of representatives wasn't credible.
OMG!!! They did remove it and NO I did not cache it.....
I hope someone else still has it up and can save it...
That photo of Bush still sends chills up my spine. I remember seeing the anger in his eyes. He looked livid.....as was I.
LOL...one other voice of reason on this thread!
ODS is just as strong as BDS.
Honestly...I think the less Obama knows about what's going on,the better-off we all are.....
