I’ve found many cached copies of reports from Google that have the 3 hour delay in informing Obama report. I’ve said it.
Also, Twitter has it on their trackbacks.
I’ve also written a letter to the WaPo Ombudsman asking why that report was removed without explanation. While I doubt they will respond; I plan on staying on them about this.
The media’s covering up for Obama must end and it won’t if we do not keep holding their feet to the fire.
It’s the coverup that will help expose his where abouts. If they would come right out and say, he was hung over, if that was the reason, then they can move on with how they would handle notifing the potus in a timely manner if there are any future urgent matters.
WHERE WAS OBAMA FOR 3 HOURS ON CHRISTMAS MORNING DURING A TERRORIST ATTACK?
Good stuff. You’re thorough!
I find it quite disturbing that they waited to so long to alert him about this.
The trifling little weasels are counting on people not to do the math. In the second paragraph, they write that the plane landed around noon. In the last paragraph, they mention that Obama was notified between 9 and 9:30 and note that Hawaii is five hours behind Eastern time.
So they sorta kinda reported the delay without actually coming right out and admitting it. It's like that old joke about the US beating the Soviet Union in a sports event, and the Soviet headlines reading "USSR finishes second; US finishes next-to-last".
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!
