One of the biggest differences between Bush and Zero is that Bush never once blamed the “previous administration” and always used “we” and “our” when talking about what went wrong before 9/11.
Class vs. Trash.
CNN: Suspicious devices may have been bound for Chicago synagogues
A suspicious package containing a toner cartridge with wires and powder was found during routine screening of cargo in the United Kingdom, prompting authorities to scour vehicles in the United States on Friday. Planes in Philadelphia and Newark, N.J., were being swept, as was a truck in New York City.
Officials were investigating whether the suspicious packages were a dry run for a mail bomb plot.
CNN reported that sources believe the devices that came from Yemen were intended for Chicago synagogues. Frances Fragos Townsend, former Homeland Security adviser in the Bush administration, said American intelligence had been informed within the last 24 hours about devices on flights from the Middle East intended for synagogues in Chicago.

Fox — now reading WH statement (Gibbs) — Obama was informed last night ... if this is true, and he went off to campaign merrily today, that really, really looks bad!
WH has issued a press release. Doing the predicted ‘victory lap’ and hoping that this ‘thwarted attack’ gets Obama’s poll numbers up. Pathetic! It sounds like our intelligence community and the Obama administration had nothing to do with breaking this attack up. Foreign sources told them about it.
Go figure...the incompetents are in charge now.

RT @PElliottAP: And @PressSec corrects himself by five minutes. Gibbs now says Brennan told Obama about threat at 10:35 p.m. yesterday. 4 minutes ago via web
It sounds like Obama’s administration was told about this threat from foreign intelligence sources and had nothing to do with breaking it up or discovering it to begin with. This doesn’t look good for them imho. Now a suspicious package in Baltimore.
Question....if Obama was told about this last night, why didn’t he stop all of these planes from coming here in the first place? These planes and packages could have been stopped last night!
EPIC FAIL!!
I am listening to Rush for details.
He’s too busy campaigning and appearing on the Jon Stewart show.
Yes but the packages where going to those evil Jooooooooos and we know that 0 does not like them at all.
FNC:
Suspicious package found in downtown San Francisco.
Also Fedex in Dubai turned a suspicious package over to US authorities (pkg was from Yemen). Something in Baltimore per Fox as swell.
You mean they found a straight guy in San Fran?
LOL!
Lots of action today- thanks for updates.
It’s all over Thank God!
