I suppose we can’t possibly hear anymore now how president Bush “wasted” a whole seven minutes with the little kids after he was advised of the WTC tragedy, can we?

I am praying for a Democratic bloodbath in November followed by impeachment.

'And with nearly one year under the belts, they can’t keep blaming the Bush administration for everything that goes awry.'

Yes, they will. and the DBM will let them and go along with them.

When the news media began uncovering evidence that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was exactly who he claimed to be when taken into custody -- a terrorist tied to an al-Qaida network in Yemen

The Obama administration successfully spun the Fort Hood massacre as anything BUT a terrorist attack, so they wouldn't be labelled as having the first post-9/11 terrorist attack on American soil during his administration.

THIS one is a thwarted attack, even after all the info available.

When will the American people realize that our guard is down?

Good article - ouch.

I think he delegates for 2 reasons: he wants to keep his Teflon coating (that’s not working), and he has never run anything or formulated policy, so he has no choice.

It is now 2010; if I have to hear on a daily basis, regardless of the issue, that Bambi had to “overcome 8 years of failed policies on _______” I will puke.

And quit insulting people’s intelligence by insisting he has “pulled back the economy from the cliff.” Gag.

FTA: “Their first concern seems to be to protect the president from blame, not to protect the American people from harm, whether it be from failed economic policies or terrorist attacks.”

This is the Clinton “War Room” model, reinforced by Kerry’s failure. Never let a charge go unanswered. Always push back. Blast critics and dismiss/brush off criticism. Deny, deny, deny...spin, spin, spin.

Meanwhile, the enemy is working 24/7 figuring out ways to kill us. And our putz of a president views the terrorists as criminals when we’re in a war of many fronts.

We let a stugots and his angry, bitter wife into the White House, I’m afraid.

“...government has NOTHING to do with job creation.....all government can do is create a hospitable or inhospitable environment....and basically keep its inherent narcissism out of the way and acknowledge its dependence.

BTW....when is Glen Beck or Rush going to start to open their show every day with the announcement as to the day count of job losses? We’re well into 18 months!!! of losing 65000 JOBS/day!!!!!! An entire city of unemployed a DAY!!!

There are some other one word descriptions of the Obama admin in the first year...Fraudulent, Incompetent, Criminal, Fascist.

[CRBDeuce]

Who is the more clueless...Obama, or the useful fools who voted for him? But then, this is a thread about 2009 (not that we got an answer in 2008).

[dirtboy]

Even the words the president used in his press conference Dec. 28 suggest how clueless he is. He described Abdulmutallab as a "passenger (who) allegedly tried to ignite an explosive device," repeatedly referring to Abdulmutallab in his comments as a "suspect." These are the weasel words we use when talking about ordinary criminals, which is no accident. The Obama administration’s anti-terrorism philosophy is to treat terrorist attacks like criminal actions, not acts of war.

Recall that Obama exercised no such restraint in blaming Sgt. Cowley in the Gates incident. Rather telling that he gives a demonstrated Nigerian terrorist more leeway than a good American cop.
