The Obama administration has come under fire from critics who said the president waited too long to address the nation publicly about the Christmas Day terror plot, and that his administration has not been tough enough on terrorism.
The mostly partisan attacks came after Friday's attempt by a Nigerian national to blow up Northwest Flight 253 as it approached Detroit. Terror plots in the past have tended to unite the two parties, but recent attacks have departed from that norm.
President Obama has ordered a sweeping review of how the suspect managed to board the flight from Amsterdam, but that has done little to appease his critics.

Obama waits for threee days at the very least to make statements that should be made o the same day.
Very, very slow to respond to crises.
Oh, really ?
For Obama national security is a matter of pretty speeches. Those take time to write.
This is not Obama: http://nimg.sulekha.com/Others/original700/george-w-bush-bob-beckwith-2009-9-11-1-13-23.jpg
Not like when Bush responded to the shoebomber Richard Reid!
Huma? Hillary's er, assistant?
It wouldn’t matter so much if he hadn’t put such a pathetic gang of radicals and incompetents in charge while he went on vacation.
But it’s obvious that he doesn’t give a damn about Americans being in danger or getting killed. And the press doesn’t give a damn, either.
I think President Bush waited like 9 days before he responded to the shoe bomber...
God help us from these fools...
Where I work we had a “leadership/communication” seminar. One of the ladies (Black) of course mentioned Obama as being such a great leader. When asked by the instructor what he did or why, she couldn't answer. After asking twice, the instructor bailed her out by saying “He's charismatic,” and of course she jumped on that.
It's a sad statement, but that's literally how shallow and ignorant the electorate has become. His belly and the Obama girl.........
Obama’s response to high gas prices and threats of gas shortages, was to simply suggest that we check the air pressure in our tires.
Did anyone really expect more from this lightweight?
Well, at least he has demonstrated “change”. When it’s time to act, he is no longer just “present”........ he’s gone! LMAO at the coward.
And Bush continued to read to the kids for SIX WHOLE MINUTES before they got him on his way to the command post in AF1.
Ah but The One is infallible. He can do no wrong.
He Responded ? when ? where ?
They’re asking the question. They know the answer.
They’ll spin the tale but we know a fairy tale when we hear one.
It took him three days to get Wee Wee’d up enough to speak.
Perhaps he acted stupidly.
4 days to speak on Little Rock
3 days to speak on Ft. Hood
3 days to speak on NWA 253
He doesn't know how to handle unplanned contingencies and refuses to learn from his past mistakes.
He WILL NOT be criticized by the State-run media. That is the key. Unless or until the State-run media criticize this guy, he can do anything and do no wrong.
