Just seems weird that they couldn’t get a hold of him for 3 hours during a terrorist attack...

What I want to know is who has the 'football'? Maybe they should have called that guy. Otherwise, it is incredibly stupid to proclaim to the world that we have our pants down in case someone decides a nuclear war might be survivable. Three hours is forever in a fast developing situation.

That is a fair question.

Whoever decided NOT to tell Obama or whoever put in place a policy NOT to tell Obama also decided that nothing much had happened, a little fire, a little smoke on board an airliner, nothing much really [except for the people there, of course, but they're nobodies, right?].

They could not know there were not 20 more planes still to be targeted [or could they? with this president, it's hard to be sure whose side he is on].

They could not know if this was a diversion, meant to draw attention to something not yet noticed, and far more of a threat.

Unless, of course, the person making the decisions was informed immediately and had the football nearby.

For the paranoid [and Obama makes it hard not to wonder a LOT]it is interesting that Obama and his family are thousands of miles from Washington and safely upwind of the mainland when all of this happens.
