"Systemic Failure" but B. Hussein Obama remains in Hawaii

"Systemic Failure" but B. Hussein Obama remains in Hawaii

12/30/09

"Five days after the Christmas Day bomber tried to blow up NWA Flight
253 over Detroit, President Obama is still on vacation in Hawaii. He
has delivered two hasty, tie-less statements on homeland security from
a makeshift podium in Honolulu whose underwhelming sum impact has been
the equivalent of voting “present” (Obama’s career m.o.) By his own
admission and in direct contradiction to his hapless DHS Secretary,
the president acknowledged yesterday that “systemic failure” led to
the breach.

Obama is not scheduled to return to Washington until Sunday. That’s
four more full days of reinforcing his image as detached, aloof, and
too damned tired to tackle the jihadi epidemic with the once-hyped
energy and passion of a 48-year-old Super-Agent of Hope and Change.

Team Obama’s stage managers and image gurus are all about symbolism.
Wouldn’t the president send a more credible message to jihadi plotters
around the world (and to Americans) by cutting his holiday break short
and getting back to work in the White House, rather than by phoning it
in for the next four days?

And how many more tropical paradise pow-wows and basketball games with
his Chicago cronies Valerie Jarrett, Marty Nesbitt, and Eric Whitaker
does he need, anyway?
We’ve gone from “Blood, toil, sweat, and tears” to “Beach, golf, (gym)
sweat, and (self-pitying) tears.”

Rough men stand ready to keep and defend our safety. As for President
Obama, it’s still Me Time.

This Politico piece tries to make hay of the supposedly unfair double
standard in how Bush was treated during the shoe bomber attack during
Christmas 2001 versus the “heat” that Obama is taking now for
remaining on holiday.

A few inconvenient differences and facts that the article glosses
over: Bush had been working non-stop since September 11 on homeland
security issues and had the public’s trust. The attacks consumed him.
By contrast, the current Democratic majority and White House have been
working non-stop to lower our defenses and speed the jihadi revolving
door.

In December 2001, Bush had not yet amassed his lousy record on
Katrina, Harriet Miers, Dubai Ports, shamnesty, and the massive
bailouts (all of which have been lambasted extensively on this website
and in my columns over the last four years). In December 2009, Obama
has already amassed enough Culture of Corruption material to fill an
encyclopedia set.

And unlike the low-key Bush, President Obama has been a shameless,
consummate TV hog from Day One — willing to turn anything and
everything, including a race-baiting tiff between his good friend
Professor Henry Louis Gates and Cambridge MA police — into a global
“teachable moment” of “unprecedented” proportions. When he doesn’t
rush to address Americans after a matter of real import strikes,
“heat” — no matter how hypocritical his supporters may paint it – is
entirely appropriate."

"...Two suggestions for the president: end the vacation and fire some
people. And if he wants to show that he isn’t cowering from an
increasingly infuriated public, he would do well to hold a press
conference and answer each and every question put to him. If he
chooses not to, the scandal may turn into Obama’s political hurricane,
akin to Katrina. Perhaps it already has...."


"Stop Releasing Terrorists
By the Editors

Less than two weeks ago, the Obama administration repatriated to Yemen
six detainees held at Guantanamo Bay. It was a test. About 90 of the
200 or so remaining Gitmo detainees are Yemenis. The president would
like to move toward fulfilling his promise to close Gitmo, and thus to
appease the antiwar Left, by transferring most of those Yemeni
jihadists back home....."

"Bleeding Hearts and Jihadi Revolving Doors


....The bleeding-heart ostriches of the left are blaming (who else?)
cowboy George W. Bush for radicalizing poor, oppressed Yemenis. But
the killer fruits of botched bomber Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab's loom
have nothing to do with poverty, social injustice, Western imperialism
or Bush Derangement Syndrome. The fundamentalist Muslim is the
privileged son of a Nigerian public official. He lived a "gilded
life," as the Independent of London described it, studying engineering
at one of Britain's most prestigious universities before training for
terror in Yemen......"

You mean like when Bush knew his friends the Saudis were attacking the
WTC but took a month vacation at his ranch?

he spent a lot of time away

"August 2006
"Bush has spent more than a year of his presidency" at his ranch in
Crawford, Texas. On August 19, 2005, "he broke Ronald Reagan's record of 335
days for America's most vacationed president and went on to take the longest
presidential vacation in 36 years," Dale McFeatters wrote August 8, 2006, in
a ScrippsNews editorial."

Well he didn't need to bother that much really. Cheney
was running the country (into the ground).

I was not talking about whether or not he went on vacation -- but then you
knew that.

So, you're saying that Bush and his administration are the models that
Obama is striving to emulate?

Interesting.

Only a racist would reffer to Obama as "B. Hussein Obama" did the left ever
call Bush G. Walker Bush? No. So that is evidence you are a racist American
hating troll.
