"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."

akin to Katrina. Perhaps it already has...."

They called him a lot worse than that.
And while I'm not particularly fond of the B. Hussein Obama thing,
that is his name.
Meanwhile what is Janet Napolitano doing? This is her department:
ALIPAC called for the termination or resignation of Homeland Security
Chief Janet Napolitano earlier this year, when it was discovered her
department was instructing police officers to scrutinize Americans
concerned about popular issues such as illegal immigration, taxes, and
government spending as possible domestic terrorists. Napolitano's
"advisories" to police were based on strange Internet blogs and
political sources, instead of traditionally accepted law enforcement
methods.

His name is BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA no one but no one calls Bush G Walker bush
or Clinton B Jefferson Clinton. The only reason right wing racists like PJ
say B Hussein Obama is they think by using the fact that his second name is
Hussein people will be afraid of him. But the only one's who cares are
ignorant racists like him.
And yes the left may have called Bush worse names but never G Walker Bush.
That's my point.

In fact Barack Hussein Obama is called Barack Hussein Obama because he was
named after his father. He was really Barack Hussein Obama Junior. Naming
a son "Junior" is not some exotic Middle Eastern custom it's a very common
practice in the US. In my own family, my husband and two of his nephews are
"Juniors". I personally find it a bad practice because it leads to
confusion, or worse. In Barack Hussein Obama's case, it's worse. I'll bet
he wishes that his parents had called him Joe or John or Bob.

This is the same argument used to attack Bush when he spent time in
the Western White House in Texas. It's bunk in both cases. Obama
should be seen in the American West. A president spends most of his
time on the East Coast. But the US has a large population that
isn't there.

That's also bunk except as a means to kick Al Gore in his fat
natural gas heated swimming pool ass. To the extent that Obama
wants to ruin (further ruin) the world economy to fight carbon
dioxide, a substance so toxic they put it in soda pop, feel free to
engage in kicking Obama in the ass too.

Well if the left has called Bush _worse names_ than "B. Hussein Obama"
why don't you insist that those from the left doing so are also
racists???
Far be it from me to generally defend PJ, but this rather proves that
there is quite a bit of illogic behind your petty insults, showing you

Probably but at least you admit this is a way of attacking Obama. I think

increasing war's.

Of course it's a way of attacking him and I've said I don't
particularly like it as a tactic. However, there are many people who
think anyone who criticizes Obama's policies is a racist, un-American,

Just like with Bush. Remember the Dixie Chicks? A President will always have
die hard voters who accuse the other side of being anti American. Now that
you have your first black president the die hard supporters have the race
card on their side. But they are wrong, an anti American is someone who
hates America like those who carried out 911. You can criticise the
president just as long as you still think America is great I think it should
be ok. But I'm glad you disagree with the tactic of calling President Obama
B Hussein Obama. And yes, if Bush's middle name was Hitler or something the
left would have a field day.

One of the great expressions of contempt for GW Bush was, and remains,
"Dubya". What is it, if not a rip on his middle name intended to

Thus karma does seem a bitch if you are president of the US and your

His middle name is what it is. Bush's middle name isn't Dubya. That's
the one those don't like him made up as derogatory.
