ABC News' Yunji de Nies Reports:
White House sources tell ABC News the President will "likely" speak publicly about the alleged attempted terrorist attack on Flight 253 in the next few days. The President is on vacation in his native state of Hawaii - he has received regularly briefings on the incident and called for increased security for air travel, along with a full review of the terror watch list procedures. While the White House is adamant that the President is actively engaged on the incident behind the scenes, on Saturday he spent more than four hours on the golf course and is spending Sunday with his family at the beach, all the while, he has yet to address the American people directly.

Asked about the President's mood during what was supposed a "news-free" vacations, an aide said Mr. Obama is doing is best to "recharge his batteries" but stressed that the President is very concerned about what is going on in the world and is actively engaged at all levels.

Release Date: December 27, 2009
For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
Contact: 202-282-8010
“A passenger on today’s Northwest flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit spent an unusually long time in the aircraft lavatory. Due to this unusual behavior, the airline notified TSA and the agency directed the flight to taxi to a remote area upon landing to be met by law enforcement and DHS. The passenger in question, a Nigerian national, was removed from the flight and interviewed by the FBI; indications at this time are that the individual’s behavior is due to legitimate illness, and no other suspicious behavior or materials have been found. Though this does not appear at this time to be a security incident, in an abundance of caution, the aircraft was fully screened, with negative results, and all baggage is being rescreened before the aircraft taxis to the gate.”
He doesnt have sense enough to come in out of the rain..
I can predict what he’ll say: “Everything has changed...”
“I’ll alert the media.”
my editorial comment:
this passenger from NIGERIA had an UNUSUAL LACK OF ANY LUGGAGE.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bets, anyone, that his speech will be at 5 p.m. just in time to interrupt Glen Beck’s show? ( Just wondering.)
Barry is not interested in telling the American people anything.
Good question. I have always thought that the Obama regime would be brought down by internal disputes.
Obama's handlers think they are running him...and he thinks he is running them. In his heart, he's a megalomanic Third-World African Muslim dictator, and it's all about him. Radical Marxism was only the stepping stone for the emergence of The One.
On the other hand, the radical Marxists (which means most of the adminstration and about 1/3 of Congress) thought they had finally gotten somebody they could control.
They're on a collision course, and something has got to give.

We have witnesses so Obama can't hide this.
Yep. Napolitano screwed up so badly that Bambi must now speak to try to reverse the damage she did.
You’ve got it covered. Punk president needn’t speak.
“Hell probably have to come out and make a speech since his DHS Sec stepped on her d*** this morning.”
How can he blame Bush if “the system worked?”
Remember how he delayed going to see his dying grandmother? He keeps everybody waiting.
When does ground break for his presidential library?
And where?
Glen Beck is off until the first of the year, so have at it Obama...lol. I doubt he can wait another week.
We are not going to hear any more about this. Whatever happens in the future, it’s not going to be publicized. President Whats-his-face will make sure of that.
It makes me wonder even more about AirTran flight 297 in November? There hasn’t been anything on this since end of second week this month. That’s the latest info I could find (quick search).
yes, we do have witnesses .,,,,
Who knows? Maybe Bozo did KNOW about this in advance and was just waiting for the plane to be brought down....know just what you said would be true...nobody would know the cause and Obamao and family would not have to even be bothered with all this terrorist attack nonsense...
Sure - thst would be evil - but, then, he is.
I’m really not interested in what the arrogant foreigner has to say about this matter. It is obvious we are on our own.
