Nice to see Barack could take break from his hectic weekend of working out, playing golf, and shopping in Hawaii to release a taped statement three days late.

There is only two security measures that will protect Americans on commercial planes: Dutch tourists and strip-searching Muslims.

Don't mean to bother you sir, but there's been a terrorist attempt on US soil.

I'm ON VACATION!

Pathetic.

After 3 days Obongo says:

Terror? What terror?

Obongo is an Idiot!

Maybe instead of calling him names, which is not very original, we talk about whats the best way to prevent things like like from happening. I know Fox news has probably jumped on the whole Gunatanamo (which is still open) and Yemen connection (show me the evidence that anyone released from guantanamo went to Yemen), its just as valid as Saddam 911 connection, in other words complete rubbish.

Is everyone who is hating on Obama right now was just as hard on Bush after the Richard Reid shoe-bomber incident ?

[iamalittlespy]

That is not to say that only Bush is responsible for the economic crisis, since the root causes can be traced back to Reagan, and yes Clinton who also helped with de-regulation of the market.

I completely agree with putting the pressure on government to keep us safe. Maybe we should take a billion dollars away from AIG and Goldman Sachs and use that money to hire competent airport security and air marshals. There plenty of room for discussion on how to improve security and prevent attacks.

[iamalittlespy]

If he can't protect the country, then who can ? Bush ? Yes the government bureaucracy screwed up majorly and I hope he takes decisive action on putting the right people in charge and holding those in the government who FAILED responsible. As for economy, may I remind you that the economic crisis happenwd BEFORE he was inaugurated. Lehman Brothers, AIG and the plunging of the market all happened in 2008, after 8 years of Bushes tax cuts and de-regulation.

Get real Barry.

you can't protect jack shit.

Your have made a shambles of our economy, and greatly expanded (now) your war in Afghanistan, (where you obviously don't have a clue what you are doing),

where another eight Americans were blown up yesterday.

You are a pathetic fool "Mr. President".

A pathetic fool.
