Just off the wires by an unnamed source: Government has known for TWO years that suspected alleged terrorist was a threat.

Translation: They're throwing briefing updates into his In Box every time new information comes in. Only trouble is, Obama hasn't yet had a chance to have one of his flunkies check his In Box. But he'll get around to it if he isn't too tired.

Why does everyone consider this a Terrorist Attack? this is nothing more than a man practicing his religion of peace. As a devout follower of Islam, they are required to do everything possible to eliminate the Infidel’s, who are preventing the return of Allah the Child Rapist. I wouldn’t be surprised if right now AG Holder isn’t drafting a criminal complaint against these passengers on this plane for “interfering with a persons right to honor and practice his religion”.

Islam and Liberty cannot coexist, one or the other, you choose.

The Resident stays on top of the situation while members of
the mainstream media take a short break from licking his shoes.

When’s the last time Obama visited his house in Chicago?

Good question. I would expect to see that house sold in the not-too-distant future, and the uber-expensive house he's vacationing at in Hawaii, purchased.

Tony Rezko may be temporarily unavailable to swing the deal, but I'm sure there are others more than willing to cook the books.

“He asked to arrange a subsequent secure call and in that call instructed that all appropriate measures be taken to increase security for air travel. The President is actively monitoring the situation and receiving regular updates.There is currently no change to his schedule.”

Maybe he'll take a break from eating poi to tell us not to jump to conclusions.Maybe not.

Our feckless leader will monitor the situation from the golf course...and the media lapdogs with him will assure us that our security is his foremost priority, as fat little Ed Henry did on CNN this morning.
Real journalists would be asking why BO wasn’t informed about the attack for THREE HOURS!

” I’ve read elsewhere that the Kenyan usually doesn’t get his daily briefings until 9 or 10ish every day.

That is correct.
http://www.politico.com/politico44/ has his daily schedule.
Warning-there are some grotesque pictures of The Giggler and The Scowler posted over there in their latest fantasyland-Hawaii.
Barry’s lei looks like a copperhead snake.
9:30 is when Barry ambles into the Oval Office.
GW used to call his national security team to the Oval at 7am for updates on Iraq, Afghanistan and national security.
The 3 hour delay may have been because Barry had a Do Not Disturb sign on the room he shares with Reggie Love, his body man.
This article in the NYT was from the campaign, Barry now has Reggie on the payroll at 102,000/yr as some sort of special aid .
I doubt things have changed , they are inseparable
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/27/us/politics/27reggie.html?_r=1&pagewanted=1.

” Mr. Love, ....., usually starts the day with Mr. Obama with a dawn workout in the hotel gym.
They end the day more than 15 hours later,
often unwinding before bed by watching ESPN’s “SportsCenter” or that night’s big game.
(Mr. Obama sometimes flosses his teeth to ESPN while lying down.)”

I remember Kofi Anan calling the press (from his vacation at a ski resort) to complain that Pres Bush stayed in Crawford Texas after the tsunami instead of going to the WH to “manage” the disaster.

Zippy is more interested in a lunch plate w/2 scoop rice than he is about any man caused disasters. Sleep well, America.

First of all, NO HE ISN'T MONITORING ANY DAMN THING. HE COULDN'T GIVE TWO $**T$ ABOUT A TERRORIST ATTACK.

Secondly,

QUESTION:

Why does Hussein consider the Northwest Airlines event a terrorist attack, but NOT the MURDER OF SOLDIERS AT FORT HOOD by a MUSLIM who had written and been in touch with TERRORISTS?

In this photo it looks as if he’s had some sort of operation....not that he ever released more than a one page medical report.
