Obama "Likely" to Speak About Flight 253 (Dear Leader to interrupt "news free" vacay?)
ABCNews ^ | December 27, 2009 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 12/27/2009 3:07:48 PM PST by maggief

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.

(snip)

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.

Interesting ideas, but really I don't think that The Prez is going to be quite that detailed... I mean I know he likes to yak & yak, I mean read the teleprompter aloud for long stretches at a time, but seriously ABC.News gave it away that this will NOT be a serious statement, did you catch how they depicted the incident on Flight 253 as, "... the alleged attempted terrorist attack...."

The MSM is simply so contemptible, where do they find such idiotic stupid people to write such stupid idiotic tripe?

THE ALLEGED ATTEMPTED TERRORIST ATTACK

Not interested in anything Hussein has to say. He is a joke.

Yikes!

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/2785733/Cops-fear-25-British-born-Muslims-are-plotting-to-bomb-Western-airliners.html

COPS fear that 25 British-born Muslims are plotting to bomb Western airliners.

The fanatics, in five groups, are now training at secret terror camps in Yemen.

It was there London-educated Umar Abdulmutallab, 23, prepared for his Christmas Day bid to blow up a US jet.

The British extremists in Yemen are in their early 20s and from Bradford, Luton and Leytonstone, East London.

They are due to return to the UK early in 2010 and will then await internet instructions from al-Qaeda on when to strike.

We must remember, however, that his rich Nigerian father is the one who alerted the authorities that his son had gone “radical” so I’m not certain he’ll invest heavily in his son’s defense team and he’ll likely not have to, given the wealth of Leftie others in this country.

Yes - ABC got that talking point directly from the despicable Holder (whose resignation needs to be DEMANDED) - who put out a statement about the “alleged attempted terrorist attack”.

The entire Obama cartel needs to be arrested and imprisoned for “alleged crimes against this nation”. The sooner the better.

You’re right. The father did the right thing. It was the Hillary/Obama state department who ignored or purposefully SQUElCHED the father’s effort to keep his son from endangering the USA.

And you’re right. Soros or CAIR or a host of other anti-American groups will gladly fund the perp’s defense.

Which is just one more reason WHY the terrorist deserves a military tribunal court - not a US Justice system trial.

We continue to get our best news from the UK newspapers.

American papers continue to provide cover for Obama.

VP Cheney’s words are haunting... and I’m paraphrasing “America will be less safe under Obama’s admin.”

“We continue to get our best news from the UK newspapers.”

And Canada.

Nappy was an idiot to jump on the MSM/WH airways praising how “the system worked.” Even a beer summit cannot backtrack those boneheaded remarks.

I hope that plane was full of liberal deamonrat BO supporters that are now realizing how close their lives came to being snuffed out by a ‘man made disaster’. Considering they were flying into Detroit which looks like a third world bombed out shit house, I'd say the chances are pretty good.

Opps, I forgot to add ‘a third world bombed out shit house that has been run by liberal deamoncrats for the last 50 years.’
