You’ve picked up a lot of Bush stuff this one you ought to put to a stop.

He’s on both sides of the issue in 2 minutes and 32 seconds ., and as usual , makes sure that it’s about him . There was no Christmas day bombing , thanks to the passengers .

Why this President continues to get accolades for being
“the smartest person in the room” is thoroughly astonishing!

King Louis and Marie Antoinette would be proud of our dear leader. Don’t expect BO to defend the rights of citizens against a tyrannical TSA gone wild. This is his big government solution…. the serfs must relent their rights or face the long arm of the law.

Well look at the people who are claiming he’s the smartest person in the entire world (forget room). That should tell you all you need to know.

Use dogs, let them get into a space where anything would detonate, use specialized (Israeli) interrogation or profiling. Do not use this camel designed by a (liberal) committee planning to create a horse.

Obama’s an asshole. No other way to say it. Stupid people think he’s cool because he’s “smart”. Normal people have always seen him as the condescending racist that he is. This is what happens when your teachers fawn over you because not only are you black, you’re smart, too. He doesn’t understand that there were a bunch of smart people in his class, but if you’re a white guy named “Fred Miller”, you’re just another face in the crowd.

‘
I’m still trying to get over the fact that he was once considered a messiah
This false deity proves on a daily basis how detached he is from the common citizen
Seriously,, can you listen to him and not be thinking elitist?!

obama is a disgrace

I would love to pat O down. He is one sexy man.

Yes he has. Much to much for my liking. This one is beyond stupid and they need to figure out some other way. I no longer fly very often so I don’t have a dog in this fight but people that do should be screaming to the high heavens about this.

Obama = Let them eat cake. I guess the little people clinging to their guns and religion shouldn’t mind if the nice stranger gropes their child or their “junk”. What an a$$.

Obviously, when you have your own airplane fleet, you don’t have to go through the security inspections, or customs, etc. However, I have to wonder; does our elected royal class have to submit to being irradiated or groped when they fly commercial, or does TSA “exempt” them as they just did for the airline pilots?

Also, when he is a FORMER president, does the ‘Dear Leader’ get free USAF transport for life, or will he have to return to the real world and be subjected to the ‘necessary’ security procedures he and his cronies are enacting? If he flies commercial, WHY wouldn’t he have to be like one of the sheeple?

You Sir, are not a student of history. You heard about Mary Antoinette from the Right wing noise machine, it’s sad that’s you source of education. When you said King Louis and Mary would be proud, it just shows how ignorant of history you are, shows that you pick up bits and bits from the lame stream media ass Sarah calls them. Which Louis are you referring to? by saying King Louis, that would automatically mean Louis I, I don’t know him. There are so many king Louis, and some do not succeed one another, it’s just like saying King Henry the vi and VII are related.

Yeah and the funny thing is, if this was the case when Bush was in office he’d have been lauded rather than castigated for keeping us safe.

Mr. President (and the rest of you TSA-holes),

Mr. Abdulmutallab IS a Muslim Male (JUST LIKE 100% of the Terrorists who have threatened U.S. Airlines for DECADES).

IF you REALLY wish to make us “safer”, perhaps it’s time to concentrate on THOSE who ACTUALLY REPRESENT the HIGH RISK to airline safety: Muslim Males.

Please feel free to correct me, but have ANY airplanes been hijacked or “taken down” by old Jewish ladies with their knitting needles? Or by nail clippers? Or by a bottle of shampoo? Or by any Blond Haired, Blue Eyed Swedes? OR, heaven forbid, any Flight Attendants with their prosthetic breast (after having undergone a mastectomy)?

NOT EVEN ONE?

Hum….

PERHAPS, Mr. President, rather than checking the Pilots’ “package” (especially since he’s already undergone a Federal Background Check AND is at the controls of the damn plane to begin with [and its THOUSAND OF POUNDS of Jet Fuel]), you MIGHT want to follow the lead of THE SAFEST Airline IN THE WORLD (El Al) – and PROFILE (not “Racially Profile”), but Profile PEOPLE based on their BEHAVIOR.

I’m TIRED of this REACTIVE approach to so-called Airport Security – I WANT (nay, DEMAND) that TSA dispense with the POINTLESS pat-downs (gentalia groping) of RANDOM people (at the VERY REAL RISK of allowing “random” REAL Terrorists PAST Security)!

I PROMISE YOU, Mr. President, THE NEXT Muslim Extremist who gets PAST security and even ATTEMPTS an act of Terrorism ON A PLANE (heaven forbit he is successful) – it WILL BE YOUR FAULT!

You have been WARNED (by, undoubtedly, MILLIONS of Americans [and Airline Security EXPERTS around the world, I’m sure) that what you’re doing NOW DOES NOT WORK.

Let us NOT lose sight, Mr. President, that the 9/11 terrorists were NOT stopped by the security measures IN PLACE on 9/11/2001.

The “Shoe Bomber” was NOT stopped by the security measures IN PLACE on 12/22/2001 (JUST MONTHS after 9/11).

The “Underwear” Bomber was NOT stopped by the security measures IN PLACE on 12/25/2009.

WE CANNOT AFFORD to continue down this INEFFECTIVE path (a WASTE of TIME and MONEY).

I CONSTANTLY hear Civil Libertarians say that they would rather have 100 guilty men set free, than have ONE innocent man falsely convicted.

Personally, I’d rather have TEN MILLION Innocent Muslims THOROUGHLY SEARCHED at the airport, than have ONE innocent NON-MUSLIM murdered.

So I should endorse a plan where women and children get groped; but I might be a little safer? Pass.

And if I run across a kid being groped; my plan also doesn’t involve running away; although that too would have a child groped to keep me safer. I’m willing to accept a slight amount of risk to prevent a woman or child getting sexually assaulted.

I guess I was just raised with the wrong set of priorities. Sorry Mr. President.

Anyone heard whether Janet Napolitano ever gave a “yes” or “no” answer to whether or not Muslims would have to submit to the grope?

Honestly? I think there are more democrats than you’d like to think that have had the same background and those exact beliefs as you. Problem is the jobs and opportunities are not out there, like when we were growing up. Take a realistic look around your area. I have seen a lot of large business/corporations close their doors in our area, taking their business overseas. Hershey, laid off a great deal of their employees when they took a good chunk of their business to Mexico. Old man Hershey is probably still rolling around in his grave. He was always for the little guy. That company was one of the biggest opportunities to aquire a job after high school in my day. Bethelem Steele, only a ghost crew there, now. TRW gone, took their plant that was here to Singapore in the 80′s. The large package delivery jobs, FedEx, UPS all part time employees little to no benefits. Post Office is downsizing and actually starting the process of only hiring temporary people
from now on. Lot of fast food jobs, pizza delivery, convenience stores. Not really what you would call a career or job you can raise a family on.

2012 can’t come too soon. This guy is the WORST, and I’ve been around for, and politically aware of, Lyndon Johnson, Dick Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter, all real contenders. To say he is clueless about the people of the USA is giving him too much credit; he doesn’t have a clue about his administration, Congress, or the Democratic Party. Not that I mind. After another two years of his incompetence anyone not in need of involuntary institutionalization will vote for ANYONE who’s not BO.

Fact: Evan Ozero’s teleprompter speaks in ebonics.

Obama says “One of the most frustrating aspects of this fight against terrorism is that it has created a whole security apparatus ”

Well I thought there was no longer a fight against terrorism and instead an “Overseas Contingency Operation”??

He apparently went off script on his Politically Correct tactics and Islamic appeasement.

“And since the explosive device that was on Mr. Abdulmutallab was not detected by ordinary metal detectors, it has meant that the TSA has tried to adapt to make sure that passengers on planes on safe.”

Did it ever occur to pea-brain Oblah-blah that “Mr. Abdulmutallab” never boarded a plane in the USA? Is that way beyond his ability to comprehend just how STUPID he and Janet Napolesbiano and Messieur Pistole and the entire Homeland Security brainiac squad actually is.

The simple-minded shit coming from this metro-sexual academic’s BS-stained mouth continues to amaze. And of course, UpChuck Todd would never do a follow-up question noting that “Mr. Abdulmutallab” and ALL the attempts to attack the US since 9/11 have been from Muslim terrorists boarding planes overseas. Or sending UPS or FedEx from overseas.

Get it, POTUS DODO, overseas???

The Israelis do it right, and PROFILE, President DODO OBlah-blah, you are an amazingly unclever, insincere dolt.

“To say he is clueless about the people of the USA is giving him too much credit; he doesn’t have a clue about his administration, Congress, or the Democratic Party. Not that I mind. After another two years of his incompetence anyone not in need of involuntary institutionalization will vote for ANYONE who’s not BO.”

Oops, I guess Snidely [Any relation to Rush's Snerdly?] hasn’t heard that Obonzo’s approval ratings had an uptick after the election….!!! Oh yeah, on a poll conducted by CBS, I’m sure. They have the most nonsensical and therefore will be followed by the alphabet nets and the MessNBC cable clones…get out the word, Oblah-blah is rising in the polls….!

Didn’t we go through this drill in ’08 and get fooled once before. Fool me once, shame on you….but in ’12, no shame on me. I ain’t buyin’ the Oblah-blah BS.

I am struck by the similarities to Germany during WWII, where justifications of national safety are more important than the individual rights. That society too, justified abuse and subjected it’s people to horrid removal of rights, whether the form of who one could associate with, if one could speak or for the crime of thinking differently.

The best description of this all if from one of our nation founders:

“Those who trade liberty for security, deserve neither liberty or Security”…. Benjamin Franklin.

Why blame Obama? Because he calls the shots. From CNN:

“In Portugal, the president vowed he’d try to find a way to make passengers feel more both comfortable and safe, whether it is through the current policies or with new ones.

‘Every week I meet with my counterterrorism team and I’m constantly asking them whether — is what we’re doing absolutely necessary? Have we thought it through? Are there other ways of accomplishing it that meet the same objectives?’ he said.”

It’s mostly all for show. We have sufficient evidence that TSA couldn’t find its own ass with both hands and a flashlight. Has anyone heard whether passengers on flights originating outside the US are having to endure the patdowns? How about Muslims inside the US; are they going to be allowed to do self-checks as suggested by CAIR?
