WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama declared Thursday "the buck stops with me" for the nation's security and suggested he would not fire anyone for the Christmas attack on a Detroit-bound airliner...
Obama didn't tell intelligence officials to change what they're doing. Instead, he told them to just do it better, and faster. He left it to them to figure out how.
...
While Obama promised improved security, his solutions were laced with bureaucratic reshuffling.
...
"There is, of course, no foolproof solution," he said. "We have to stay one step ahead of a nimble adversary."

No reason for the buck to reach him, because there’s no intelligence at his post to process the buck.
He’s the Oxford definition of IDIOT.
Meaningless statement. He doesn’t give a pelosi about national security.
He didn’t blame GW. That’s amazing in itself. You can take GW to mean Global Warming or G.W. Bush. Take your pick
haha! just yesterday i posted on FR that i guess the buck stops before it reaches Obama... i like to think that he read my post!
Ok, I missed the entire point of “the buck stops with me”. I must have been in a fog, because I heard him speak for about ten minutes as he laid out all the mistakes others had made. Or so I thought.
LIAR! I would LOVE to hear him actually take responsibility for anything! He is such a narcissist that he knows people will not hold him accountable. What a puke!
He forgot to mention that according to Debbie Schussel’s latest, it was direct orders from him that ordered the various agencies not to “profile” Muslims or Black Muslims.
As a result, all three major terror attacks in 2009 were his doing.
And you can’t really blame the security director for not ending his skiing trip when the news came out. Why should he? Obama didn’t end his golfing trip.
But of course, ‘there’s not one single person responsible’, doncha know...
I read in his transcript where he referred to Al Quida as a “bankrupt vision of misery and death”. Is that compared to a profitable vision of misery and death?
“Obama says anti-terror ‘buck’ stops with him”
OK, so besides barack finally realizing he is a failure like most of America already knew, what are the implications of this statement by barack? Is he going to resign? Is he going to fire a direct report? Is he going to cut back on date nights?
barack is a American disgrace.
“President Barack Obama declared Thursday “the buck stops with me” for the nation’s security and suggested he would not fire anyone for the Christmas attack on a Detroit-bound airliner... “
What that says is that he embraces the status quo of Dec 25th. Apparently the “change” part of “hope and change” was a one time thing.
He’s no American!

“barack is a American disgrace.”
I disagree....barak obama is a Kenyan disgrace. Nothing American about the punk.
Meaningless. If the ‘Buck’ stops with 0bama, all that means is that it is going nowhere.
And we, of course, will be needing a solution that is foolproof.
