The White House warned political foes Sunday not to provoke a partisan tug of war over terrorism, with President Barack Obama yet to publicly address the thwarted attack on a US airliner.
A political storm erupted over the attempt by a 23-year-old Nigerian to bring down a Northwest jet carrying 290 people, as senior Obama aides cranked up a sweeping national and homeland security operation.
But the president, vacationing in Hawaii, conspicuously has not commented on television about the Christmas Day drama, apparently seeking to project calm and avoid the political trauma and panic unleashed by past terror incidents.
"The president believes strongly that this has to be a non-partisan issue," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told NBC in one of a string of television appearances he and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano made Sunday.
"This should not be a tug of war between the two political parties. I hope everyone will resolve in the New Year to make protecting our nation non-partisan -- rather than what happens in Washington, devolving into politics," he said.
Obama got a 6 am (1600 GMT) briefing on latest developments in the probe into the airborne terror bid from top national security aides, the White House said in the latest regular bulletin on his response to the crisis.
Gibbs also said that Obama ordered a review of US no-fly watch-lists and demanded information on how a suspected radical could board the Detroit-bound airliner rigged with explosives.
After his security briefing, Obama headed to the gym for a game of pick-up basketball, as the native son recharged in balmy Hawaii.

Perhaps a "cease and desist" from using free speech in this nation?
The Bill of Rights - Freedom of Speech
The most important principle involved in free speech is this: The true test of a free society in terms of freedom of speech is not whether popular and “responsible” speech is protected from government assault but instead whether the most vile and despicable speech receives such protection. After all, even in North Korea people are free to publish popular and “responsible” materials. People have freedom of speech only when government is prohibited from suppressing the most unpopular and irresponsible forms of speech.
Always pushing the point, aren't they?
Good catch.
On the upcoming First Anniversary of his Ascension...

Picnic on the beach strategy in play.
(No link available yet.)
President Obama has returned from a beach outing where he is believed to have had a picnic, according a media pool report by Anne E. Kornblut, White House correspondent for The Washington Post.
The presidential motorcade returned to the Obamas’ beachfront vacation home in Kailua at 2:15 p.m. “No details on their activities, attire or menu while at the beach — though we do know they had a picnic,” Kornblut’s pool report states. “Now they’re home for a little while, and then we’re expecting further movements quite a bit later on.”
This morning the President arrived at the adjacent Marine Corps base at 6:36 a.m. and arrived at the gym at 6:43 a.m. for a morning workout session.
I would love to see a non-partisan approach to defending our nation...unfortunately the dems are destroying us faster than any foreign force. It is their political correctness that is weakening our ability to stay safe.
Thanks for the ping!
I think warning has been served on the Marxist Muslim in chief and his advisers by the American People.
In a few months, his reign of madness will be ended by loss of Congressional Control. THAT will make him a lame duck President until he and his ilk are flushed down the toilette bowl of would-be American tyrants in 2012.
This is a worse monster than Aaron Burr.

Agreed. That’s why I say impeach the lot. They’re a national security risk.
That pretty much sums up this administration’s security preparedness and concern.
Nice work.
IT WASN'T "THWARTED", IT FAILED!!!!!!!
LOL. Excellent, potlatch.
Thank you 50mm
Happy New Year to you.
