A White House official said the incident was an attempted act of terrorism. The FBI is investigating and President Obama, celebrating Christmas in Hawaii, was told of the incident about three hours after the plane landed, officials said.
Obama has told White House officials that all appropriate measures be taken to increase security for air travel, a spokesman said. Nevertheless, officials said, they are not prepared to raise the terrorism alert level, currently at orange -- or the second-highest of five levels -- for domestic and international air travel.

It seems with perhaps a few exceptions, over the yrs, the terrorists have Univ. degrees, professionals, or in process of a degree

I wouldn’t say he commented on the white cop deal quickly. It was a day or two later. Look... Obama is a lousy liberal bleeding heart president who is going to bankrupt our country. But I don’t care if they tell him immediately when some goofball tries to blow up a plane. He can’t do anything about it.
What works is people on a plane beating the guy to death. That’s what should have happened.
I agree with the last part of your statement
Good stuff. You’re thorough!
I find it quite disturbing that they waited to so long to alert him about this.
Exactly, it’s the COVER-UP.
3-Hourgate, where was o?
“Between the “Party Crashers,” the “Unwitting Tourists,” and now this, it almost seems as if Obama’s staff WANTS something bad happen to their boss.”
When he won last November, I said that it would probably be an SS agent that would take him out.
Not every poster here is a male.
Since you think it OK Obama not notified,
you seem pressed to keep deffending this.
The CIC should be informed ASAP whenever it’s under attack.
Wow. Amazingly insightful and clever!
Your intellect si God’s gift to this thread.
Well your royal holeinoneness.....
What exactly should Obama do once he is informed that wasn’t already being done by the trained law enforcement and counter terrorism organizations?
What do you expect your messiah to do for you? Hold your hand? Tuck you in at night? Alleviate all your fears?
Yeah, nothing can happen without Obama knowing and expected to do something about it.
His propaganda machine is working better than they could imagine!
Frankly, I think they didn’t tell him because (a) there was nothing he could do and (b) he’d just butt in and try to get some attention.
He’s a friggin fraud of a usurper and his “job” should be making license plates in the Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth KS.
Maybe he was too busy facing East? I certainly don't see him around the tree this morning, singing carols and later inviting grandma over for Christmas dinner. |
Homeland Security is working all of the stuff you mentioned with regard to this incident.
Obama would just be in the way right now. Seriously.
Yeah, this is the same Homeland Security that recently got exposed for hiring a convicted felon. I feel safe, how about you?
Or (c) he was unavailable and he and/or his secret service never thought it would get out that it took his secret service 3 hours to find or get in touch with o during a terrorist attack.
Guess it was a real holiday and o didn’t want to be disturbed at 7 in the morning for whatever reason, no exceptions.
And the fact that they are scrubbing this story reeks of COVER-UP.
Some morons cannot tell the difference between approval of three hour gap in notification and understanding that there was nothing for him to do in that time.
His knowinging this case makes no difference.
Your knowing only allows misguided tempest in a teapot.
You've not explained WHY it is critical for him to know immediately and what he must do.
I happen to have faith in those who's real job it is to take care of these situations.
Don't paint all of DHS with one office's mistake.
Nice to know the CIC is missing in action for three hours.
I guess everyone now knows they can nuke us...because Obamanazi can’t be found in time.
