Obama lashes US intelligence failures

An angry President Barack Obama warned Tuesday he would not tolerate failures by US spy agencies to connect the dots on intelligence that could have uncovered the Christmas Day airline attack. He suggested that missed "red flags" before the attack were "potentially disastrous" and more serious than originally thought. Duration: 00:33

Im more scared of Obama than the terrorists. He is killing America faster.

[Nupiyo]

ill say again tho. to expect big things to change in less then a year is a impossible standard. even if he stopped the wars in a way to keep us safer and fixed the economy you would probably just find another reason to dislike him. that's just how people like you are.

He looks so stupid putting on that phony machismo posturing. It's so embarrassing to watch him talk like a hardass and try to act like a Mr. T "I pity the fool" badass ... Obama sounds just as ridiculous!

Terrorists want publicity. That's what Bush & Co gave them: LOTS and LOTS of publicity

[germanicus24]

Disgusting deceiver. At least Bush was somehow more frank.

@Nupiyo You have no idea how refreshing it is to talk to someone who refrains from calling me names just because I disagree. You're right, we can agree to disagree. You remind me of my liberal friends and we enojy engaging is serious but calm discourse. I like you Nupiyo. I think I'll count you as one of my friends.

Obama is the reason for the failures. He should be impeached.

[Nupiyo]

in the end we are just have different opinions. you think i am to soft and i think your two harsh. he is only a man and will make mistakes. because he makes mistakes tho does not mean " he is a commie socialist lieing trash that is the worse president ever...even if its only been a year". just because i am willing to give him a chance does not mean i think he is the best thing ever to happen. i am just not going to get uptight because i expect him to do what the government does. not be perfect.

[Nupiyo]

agree to disagree with clinton. i heard before him, bush, wall street, and even the people. sorry its not all democrats fault.

i have only heard a big deal made after this health care thing. they probably do have things happen behind closed doors sometimes but that happens. your not going to see everything.

i dont think obama is socialist. and your right he is not "hope and change" he is a Politician that i do think was the best choice available that has not done anything to be the worse ever.

[AtlasShruggery]

How refreshing to have a president who takes responsibility. Boy King Bush would still be trying to blame Clinton.

[rainiertx]

No not before him. It was Clinton. The buck started with Bill. As for Health Care, it's not recent, he said transparency and they have had the most "closed door" Congress in history. CSPAN has written letters and nearly begging to get in with cameras and Gibbs won't even address the issue during conferences. Nupiyo, you need to reconsider your loyalty. I'm not saying become conservative, but don't slip into socialism which is what Obama is. Think about it. The guy is not "Hope and Change".
